    1 cup cooked cous cous, grated green apple and cinnamon, 2 tbl low fat yoghurt
    Smoked salmon and tomatoe on crumpet
    Baked beans on one slice toast
    oats made with low fat milk and tinned peaches

    Lunch
    Wrap (sorj are low fat or mountain bread) with turkey, sprouts, swiss cheese and cranberry sauce
    Wrap with salmon, grated carrot abd hummous
    (in fact subsititue all bread for wraps)

    Salads - grilled chicken with cherry toms, lettuce/spinach, cucumber and some herbed yoghurt is great
    or the same as above but with red wine venegar and some tinned salmon

    Dinner
    1/2 chicken breat pan fried with roasted cherry toms and steamed asaparagus
    veg stir frys (1/2 cup rice only) - tofu or chicken (go easy on sauces)
    Chops with baked cauliflower and some carrots
    Steak and salad

    Eat fruit - not too much
    Snack on vegies, nuts (but 10 or so only), low fat yoghurt

    I always start day with lemon and warm water

    Be careful of low fat yoghurt and anything else really, it's full of sugar.

    Have you heard of the 17 day diet? If you follow that strictly, you lose really fast. I lost 3.5kg in 2 weeks then average about 1.5kg for the next few weeks on it.

    Just having a look at my gym timetable and have come up with the following. Let me know what you think:

    Monday - Body Pump Class
    Tuesday - RPM Class
    Wednesday - Spin Class
    Thursday - Body Pump Class
    Friday - Abs and Stretch Class
    Saturday - Yoga Hatha

    I also have a set "routine" which I would do as well as the classes. It includes cardio (bike/row/treadmill) and a weights routine.

    What do you think?

    Go Aimz! Sounds like a good plan. The only thing is that I'd possibly look at doing something other than the abs and stretch. You probably aren't going to burn a heap of calories (if your class is like ours) and then your abs will be sore too, making other calorie burning exercise more painful. But then if you are after a 6 pack, probably good to keep it in!

    Depending on your fitness and strength, you may want to do a cardio one day, a strength/flexibility one the following day. So 3 cardios & 3 yoga/pilates/weights classes.

    If you're game, sign up to Bikram yoga and do their intro deal for a week and see how you go.

    You can make your own protein drinks using a combination of fruit/vegies with yoghurt and chia seeds. Alternatively, just go to a chemist and buy a bunch of shakes to have instead of 2 meals a day.
