I know in the Atkins book, it says that it being your TOM inhibits your ability to shed lbs... or in your case, stones? But I've always found that I lose just as steadily during my TOM... and if I don't, when it's over, the weightloss compensates, and I end up losing anyway Don't worry about doing induction for 3 weeks, just do a CLEAN 2 week induction and see where you are... if you feel you need to do one more week of induction, THEN, make that decision.
