I think a better approach may be to up the calories, looking for stabilization, then when the weight is stable, do the steak day/protein day. The body understands it's not starving to death so will be more relenting to the extra pounds. That's just a theory I have, but when my weight was creeping and I did steak days, I didn't lose any. After a few weeks of being stable, I did a steak day when I didn't really need to and lost 2.4 pounds.
