hey penny! that's great! I'm glad the steak day worked. I am just amazed that I could gain 3# from walking 5 miles! I would have hoped to lose some weight from that, but I didn't. After my steak day yesterday I'm now just .8 above liw, so my loss from my steak day was 2.4#'s
msmari, I think you can and probably should do another steak day until you are within the 2#'s of your lowest weight. I think your first attempt might not have been successful for all the reasons you mentioned. If you don't get enough water your body will retain whatever little water you do take in so make sure you get half your body weight in ounces of water every day.
On my steak days, I immediately chug a huge glass of water when I get out of bed after weighing and realizing it's going to be a steak day. Then I make myself a cup of tea, whatever kind you like but I think yerba mate is supposed to be best, and I just keep on drinking water and tea all day long. I take it easy on the exercise too. I mostly just keep drinking and drinking and drinking so that I don't have to feel my empty stomach. I also take magnesium and that helps me "go". I would avoid stevia and salt on steak days too if I were in your situation. I find I do better if I just eat half an apple, and take a digestive enzyme too.
and for myself personally seem to do just as well whether it be an apple or a tomato.
If the steak day you had on Sunday was successful, then it is working for you, I would just do one more day to get yourself back within 2#'s of your lowest weight.
You might have just over did it on the day after your steak day?
