HI ladies! this is such a great question tarte-tatin! I was wondering the same thing....I am now on round 5 and although I have been doing this a while there are still things that I want to get advise on. I do know it is off "orginal protocal" but I have stalled out and it is day 24 of P2. I am hoping to get to my goal before I stop this round...but so far have only lost 14.40#, which okay, I am happy to do this, but frustrated that I am not loosing, really for the last week. So I have been contemplating doing either a mini steak day or an all protien day and see if that can kick start my weight loss again. I have 14# to go to get to my goal! Anyways, I was wondering, on these days do you still drink the same amount as a normal day 64+ oz of water? (or any liquids? -that are allowed?) Or is it like an apple day that you on drink a sip to get meds down or parched? Thanks Ladies, in advance! I value your opioin!

I've done quite a few high protein days and steak days in P2. For my high protein days I drink the same amount of water (14 glasses) and eat only beef (occasionally 1 serving of chicken). I'll eat about 300 grams of beef in either 3 servings, or just nibble throughout the day. If I work out I might eat more. I consistently lose about .8 lbs or more each day.

For my steak days, I drink around 10 glasses of water and I eat, early in the evening, a 10-14oz rib-eye. I do trim most of the fat off but I leave some on for flavor. But I don't eat the fat once its cooked. I season it with braggs amino acids, and montreal steak seasoning (it has oil, so its off protocol) and grill it. I usually eat it on a bed of lettuce and half a tomato. Sometimes I drizzle lemon juice on top and sometimes just steak drippings. About an hour or more later I'll eat a baked apple. I've lost about a pound each time. Lately I've taken to drinking Smooth Move laxative tea in the evening of my steak days. I don't want all that meat just sitting inside. I didn't drink less water on steak days by design, it just ended up happening that way. So once I noticed that, now I try to stick with what works. I chart everything I eat/drink so I know what affects me and how. I hope this helps somehow. Really the best way is to look at everything you've read and try it out and document what works for you. What works for someone else won't necessarily work for you.
