I went ahead and experimented by doing a "steak day" during the 2nd phase of the program. I had hit a plateau of 4 days without any loss. I did an apple day...nothing. So out of desperation I tried a "steak day":
I took my shots as regular. Drank 2 liters of water as usual. And did not eat until 7:00 pm. I Grilled a large steak with just salt and pepper and cut off all the fat. I also had 1 apple. The next day I had only lost 1 lb. *Grumble*
So yes, you can do a steak day, it didn't "mess up" my loss, but it also didn't help me lose as much as it claims during "phase 3". Honestly, all I wanted it to do was get my weight loss back on track so I am satisfied.
Hope this helps! :)

Can you have turkey on hcg diet in Phase 2?
Yes, turkey is ok on phase 2 (500 cal/day) of the HCG diet. While it's not on the original list of approved foods, reputable websites like hcgdietdirect.com and hcgdietfriends.com have added it to their sample diets.
What food are allowed on the hcg diet when in phase 3?
Phase 3 of the HCG diet (also known as maintenance) is divided in to 2 phases, each lasting 21 days. The first half of this phase is called Maintenance 1 and during this phase you are allowed to eat anything you wish except for foods containing sugar/starches/flours. Some people have assumed this phase is identical to the "atkins" diet, but this is not true - on M1 you do not need to count carbohydrates - a majority of your calories will come from meat, vegetables and lower-sugar fruits during this phase. A list of foods for M1 is included in the related links section. Stay on M1 for 21 days. Your primary goal is stabilization. The second half of maintenance is called Maintenance 2. You will be slowly adding sugars and starches back in to your diet. Both phases need you to follow the 2-lb steak day rule: if you are more than 2 lbs over your last injection weight or your last drop weight, you need to do a steak day on that day.
What are some recipes to use in phase 2 of the HCG diet?
For the phase 2 of your HCG diet, you can always try black coffee (I recommend the organic one) or organic tea in your breakfast on the third day after you've taken the HCG Injection for your phase 2. I also recommend that you try organic vegies for snack such as lettuces, tomatoes, cucumbers, celeries or an apple to maintain your weight loss control.

HCG Drops Diet Plan?
The HCG diet plan is often misunderstood. Many hear the first part that requires 500 calories per day and tune themselves out completely, fearing it is a hoax or starvation plan.What is the HCG diet plan?The HCG diet was created by a doctor who wanted to find a cure for obesity. His plan spans three phases, and though initially it was tested with subjects taking HCG hormone injections, it is currently workable with HCG homeopathic drops. However, it is only during the first phase of the plan that the HCG drops are used. The plan itself calls for the consumption of 500 calories per day. The way the HCG works, is that while you consume 500 calories, the HCG forces the body to burn up to 2000 of the calories it needs to function daily from stores of abnormal fat.Phase oneIt takes 48 hours for the HCG to enter the body and begin to work. The patient is encouraged to eat extremely fatty foods for 48 hours. This is called 'loading'. Loading the body with excess fat keeps the patient satiated while the hormone starts to work, keeping them full. The fat gained during the loading phase almost always disappears within the first few days of the low calorie diet. On the third day, the patient begins to adhere to a strict eating protocol that excludes sugars, starches and most carbohydrates. The recommended minimum number of days in phase one is 23. The recommended maximum is 60.Phases two and threeThe purpose of the HCG protocol is to cure obesity. This calls for two things, the resetting of the metabolism and the resetting of the hypothalamus gland. On the last two days of the VLCD, the patient continues to follow the menu, while omitting the HCG drops. It is during the first phase that the bodies metabolism is successfully reset, and it is the second phase that resets the hypothalamus. In phase two the patient is encouraged to eat normally, minus starches and sugars, and eat enough calories to maintain their achieved weight loss within two pounds over or under their last days dosing weight. This phase is done for 21 days. The third phase is the final maintenance phase where starches, sugars and carbohydrates are slowly introduced to the diet. The patient is asked to monitor their weight daily and look for foods that they may have sensitivities to. This phase also lasts 21 days. If the patient has more weight to lose, they may then start phase one again.Use of a BMR calculator helps calculate specific caloric need based on individual weight, height and activity level. The HCG diet, though controversial, has helped many people achieve their weight loss goals and permanently keep the weight off. The diet itself is strict, but with a little planning and perseverance, following it is quite rewarding.

How many ounces of steak do you eat on steak day in the HCG protocol?
As many ounces as you possibly can. Go ahead and get multiple steaks if you can. Some say, the more you can eat on steak day, the greater the weight loss on the following day. The following excerpt is from the "Post Injections" portion of the hcginfoonline website. "Steak Day Tips: Go to the butcher. Buy yourself the biggest, fattest, best marbled cut of meat they have to offer (you don't have to watch the fat now) and if you're not sure which cut is best, ask the meat guy. Take it home and sauté it in oil, butter, garlic, or whatever other seasoning you want. Relish every bite of the steak until you are full. Follow with an apple. You can substitute a tomato for the apple if you prefer. Some have lost as much as 7 pounds of gained inflammation in just one day using this technique."
