Dunroven, I stopped having much hunger within a week.

You don't mention the size of the steaks, but I suspect you are having too much meat and not enough fat. The butter with the strip steak was good. Did you also have some with the eggs and pork and beans?

Fat will curtail hunger. Too much protein will be converted to glucose, preventing fat loss.

Are you tracking macros? It might help to see what those look like.
