(Newser) – If you've mustered the energy to lose weight, nothing is more frustrating than not seeing results. Men's Health lists some common mistakes:

  2. You're eating low-fat foods, but more of them
  3. Skipping breakfast can lead to sugar bingeing

  2. You're losing muscle if you only do aerobic exercise—pump some iron!
