Vixxen13, thanks for sharing your steak day success secret... I had been on a 4 day stall on a previous set weight I carried for 2 years. 162 is my magical body set weight... exercise, calorie counting, I just couldn't ever break it. So I was dreading when I hit that on my hcg round. Well, I flew through 162. Turns out 160 was my "set weight." Since last weekend, I had stalled out there. So after 4 days, I decided to hit the forum and see what my option were. I went with Vixxen's method, and IT WORKED! I'm down 2.6 lbs this morning, and am finally in the 150's! 158.6 to be exact, WOO HOO!

Thank you so much to Beth and everyone for this thread. I tried this a couple days ago and broke my plateau I was stuck at! Only 3 - 3.5 lbs to go to my goal!
Hugs of gratitude to you all!
I'm replying to bump this thread. I think a steak or high protein day is much more effective than an apple day in P2...glad Beth (or whoever) thought of it.
Makes more sense too, don'tcha think?

Great thread! Have been going very slooooooow this round. Stalled, so I'm going to try the high protein day. Can you have coffee or teas on protein or steak days?
I'm in P2 & yesterday I tried just protein (chicken) for lunch & then a steak & tomato for dinner.
Sad, I was exactly the same this morning.

Do one with either skipping lunch or have 100 grams of steak for each lunch and dinner and try an apple with the dinner steak instead of the tomato...several people (including me, seem to have trouble with the tomato & beef combo in P2).Originally Posted by PaulaLV
But I have noticed a difference if I have only steak for the protein that day.

This thread is great! I plan to keep this info in my back pocket for my next stall (my first one lasted about 4 days and was during my TOM)
Thank you so much for this Beth! It helped me so much to break my plateau in my last round of P2. I'm now in P3 and it looks like I will need a P3 Steak day tomorrow, guess I need to hit that 1500 calorie amount each day... After my experiences with Round 1 of the protocol, I know my food sensitivities, so I'm pretty sure I just need to consume the full 1500 cal each day to set my maintenance weight in.
Thanks again!

I cheated on saturday with some salmon sashimi for dinner, gained 0.2lb yesterday and another 0.2lb this morning. I was planning an apple day cuz i had great success with it from last time. But now in discovery of the p2 steak day, I think i might switch to it and see. Had a few apple bites prior to the discovery, but oh well. Better start loading some water.

Found this thread and it is great!!
I did a steak day and lost 2lbs, I am sooo happy. I was in a 5 day stall and this really helped me get motivated to do my last 3 days on P2.....Then on to P3.
If I did another steak day will it make it hard for me to stablize in P3?
Beth I was so happy to see that you are O blood type so am I. I have been worried about eating the beef and you helped with your advice.
Thanks to everyone for thier help.
