Hi Meow...

It's unusual (I think) to be on induction for 2 weeks and not lose anything...

Might be worth posting up your menus to see if we can offer any help in where hidden carbs are appearing. Are you drinking enough water and eating veggies?

At the end of the day, though, you need all your concentration for your exams. If you need to stop Atkins to feel well enough to take them, then I would suggest going for it.

You can always pick up Atkins after the exams and stress is over.

Hello Meow. I agree with what Mice_Elf has suggested. What are you eating?

The dizziness that you're describing is something that I fought with for a week after starting induction. My body completely revolted against me after I began depriving it of sugar and caffeine. Drink lots of water - it will help.

Goal met, going for the extra mile.

I've done exams on Atkins and not on Atkins. I found that I did much better on Atkins.

If you are just going off the diet now, you might find yourself feeling a little unmotivated and tired.
