    Ok.... Katie you seemed to be the only one responding -

    I am trying to remain positive about the weight gain in this phase. I have already gained 5lbs back and I am on day six. I initially gained 2 lbs the first day. Day 2 was good (lost an ounce) - Day 3 I gained 3 additional lbs putting me at 5lbs over!!!!!!! So I did the steak protocol and only dropped 1.5 lbs. I woke up the next day starving. So I knew I couldn't do the steak protocol two days in a row. Well I put back the 1.5 I lost so here I am on day 6 back up 5 lbs~ HELP! Are you supposed to see this kind of weight flucuations? I am getting my period this week - my sis n law thinks maybe this may have something to do w/ it????? but by 5 lbs? that is so much! I see the weight gain in my belly - I am afraid of what will happen in phase 4 if this is the route I am going. For the past couple of days I have been avoiding salt - trying to increase my water intake. The only area I feel that could be getting me into trouble is trail mix - but by 5 lbs?

    So my most important question ( nowhere in the book does it cover this) When you don't see results from the steak protocol, are you supposed to keep doing it until you drop to the "with in 2lbs range of your final weight" from phase 2?

    mpoloface2,
    I am not sure how I missed the rest of your discussion but would like to try to help. The steak protocol is to correct a possible protein deficiency. If you are not gaining due to this state I doubt the protocol would work. Did you make sure to eat LOTS of protein as soon as you began the phase? Are you eating lots of protein now? Simeons notes protein dificiency will cause marked water retention. If you read his paragraph under "protein dificiency" he gives other instructions for eating also (eggs for breakfast, steak for dinner etc). I would try that next. It is also imperative that you stick to the no sugar, no starch instructions. I know others that have made this mistake because they were not 100% sure what sugar and starch contained. For instance one friend thought it was okay to make a meal with beans considering beans a protein but beans are very starchy and should not be consumed. I also have a friend that did not know all the names sugar can be called in ingredients like dextrose, sucrose, evaporated cane juice and was ready to purchase products with these items. I myself was thinking I could have some oatmeal in this phase and confirmed this too was a starch. Unfortunately the instructions are not real clear on specific foods. For me when in doubt I just don't eat it. The best way to look at this stage is to add back into your diet healthy fats, eggs,dairy & nuts. In reference to your menstral cycle this can definitely mess things up. During my phase 2 I lost almost a full week of loss due to my cycle. You may have a combination of things happening at the same time. I wish you the best as you try to work it out. Take Care.

    realtorgirl Great suggestions!
    mpoloface2, I would definately follow those, examine what you are eating and be careful with the trail mix. I've had the same problem because I want to chew on something and I can't have any carbs so I ended up eating too many nuts, it's not that you can't have them but they are very calorie dense as is the dried fruit so you have to be careful. Also, what kind of trail mix are you eating? Is it raw and organic? You don't want to eat roasted nuts as you lose most of their benefits and you don't want to eat dried fruit with sulfur, this will definately mess you up.
    Water weight around your period can also be part of it, I go up 2-3 pounds around my period. So I would examine carefully everything that you're eating, maybe add a little exercise and do the steak protocol again and see how it goes. Be patient, phase 3 is all about resetting and it can be turbulent. It's very important though to do this phase properly. Hang in there!

    Dear mpoloface2, I am only in phase 2, I am assuming you are in phase 3, One of the e-books I purchased Hcg Guide suggested following Suzanne Somers or Atkins diet when off of phase 2. If you google and go to Suzanne Somers web site her girls have a fantastic discussion board with loads and loads of recipes that you could benefit from on phase 3 and of course they are more toward protein. I did her diet once for six years did great and manitained so what happened Dr Pepper happened oh well. I am only human. Any way I hear Atkins is good also and has good recipes try both of those. I had a lady on another hcg forum said when whe did atkins some of her friends came up with "egg day" which she uses with the hcg diet. I could never get a respond to know which phase it is but I have done two egg days here in my phase 2 and dropped a pound on more each time got me off my stall. It is basely 8-12 (I did 6 because I can only have 500 cal) anyway 8-12 eggs and nothing else but water and teas. I did great wans't hungary and my stomach felt better than at any other time so far.
    Also a tea for water retenion is corn silk tea. I went on line and ordered me some, it hasn't arrived yet. I hold a lot of water sometime. of course you posted six days ago, I hope thngs have improved for you good luck
