I went on the Tony Ferguson diet a month before we were TTC and lost about 5kg. I have a very "busy" 17 month little boy so don't go to the gym but we would walk over to mentone beach and back every morning which was about 6 km round trip. I love chocolate with a passion and took chromium tablets whilst I was on the shakes and they worked to stop the sugar cravings. If you are still BF I don't know if they are OK to take.
