Thread: Steak day didn't work - now what?

This doesn't really answer your whole question, but can't you eat whole eggs? I mean, you are talking 660 (+/-) calories in a 12 ounce ribeye, so wouldn't you need some fat and calories from the egg yolks since you are in P3?

Possibly, I was just thinking of the cholesterol from 14 egg yolks. Two would probably be okay.

Have you tried cottage cheese? I have used it some in P2 and had no issues (that I know of). Could that help boost the calories, protein and fat without the cholesterol?

I love cottage cheese - it was the first dairy product I added back in. LF cottage cheese was my breakfast on P3D1 and P3D2.

I'm still not sure what to do about the weight gain. I'm afraid to weigh myself tomorrow morning!

Today I'm up another 2 pounds! What is going on? How do I stop this??

I am SUCH no help to you; I haven't even been in P3. But this sounds horrible - after all that effort!!

So you went into P3, and at what day did you start to gain? What had you eaten in the previous days?

Here is a cut/paste that I am snitching from another thread.

I just Googled "vegan steak day" and this was the first result (from www.hellojody.com) hope this helps!

If you are a vegetarian on the HCG Diet, I found a recipe out there that is a revised Steak Day for vegans & vegetarians. Check out the 'Steak Day' Pudding recipe below that works just as well as the steak, with a nutritional profile incredibly close to that of a 12 oz filet mignon!

Filet Mignon: cal: 575, fat: 30g, carb: 0, protein:71
'Steak Day' Pudding: cal: 594, fat: 27g, carb: 12, protein:72 (not including the apple)

Steak Day Pudding (Vegan Substitute for Steak Day)
4.5 scoops Protein Powder (Natural Flavor)
2 T Coconut Oil
1 Granny Smith Apple (half diced)
2 t Konjac Flour
8 droppers full Stevia
2 t Cinnamon
1 t Ginger
2 C Water
1/2 bag Miracle Noodles

Put diced apple and Miracle Noodles (preferably a style like Orzo or something else with little chunks rather than long noodles, though that would work) into serving bowl.
Miracle Noodle Shirataki - Zero Calorie Noodles!
Put remaining ingredients (starting with water) into blender and blend for 50 seconds. Pour pudding mixture into serving bowl and stir noodles & apple up to distribute evenly. This has a very nearly equivalent nutritional profile to a 12 oz filet mignon!

Note: You may also create a Smoothie by modifying this recipe and simply eliminate the noodles and/or Konjac Flour.

I must admit that it sounds sort of icky, but then again, other people thought my chocolate cottage cheese sounded icky too!

This morning I was back at LIW. I have no idea what's going on.

Hey - don't ask questions!!! LOL!

I'm glad you are back!

Haha, you are cute, BadKitty! You're right, it might have just been a blip and I shouldn't panic. I'm still at my LIW today so maybe everything's okay.
