Denver, CO (PRWeb) December 29, 2006 -- Why do people have such a hard time losing weight after the Holidays? Leading weight-training, fitness, and fat-burning magazine Real Solutions' Editor-in-Chief, Stephen Adele, reveals the five most common mistakes that prevent people from losing weight and how to easily avoid them.

Even those who are new to dieting, or have been yo-yo dieting for years can benefit from these proven tips that are sure to set them on the right path to weight-loss success in the New Year, states Editor-in-Chief of Real Solutions for your best body magazine, Stephen Adele.

"In all my years of training and reading up on the latest scientific breakthroughs in weight-loss, I've discovered that a handful of relatively simple principles apply to pretty much everybody when it comes to wrecking your chances of shedding those unwanted pounds of stubborn bodyfat. Violate just one of them, and you'll pay the price… preventing you from ever dropping inches from your 'trouble spots' like your hips, thighs, or belly," says Stephen.

So, let's find out if maybe you're making one of the 5 most common but deadly weight-loss mistakes…and how to easily overcome them:

Mistake 1: You Skip Breakfast
If you skip breakfast because you think you'll stay lean, think again. A new study in the Journal of Obesity Research shows that eating a breakfast that contains equal protein to whole-grain carbohydrate ratios, every single day, is a key behavior among people who average a 60-pound weight loss and have kept it off for six years.

Solution: Regular breakfast eating is essential for maintaining weight loss. The reasons are that eating breakfast may reduce hunger later in the day when most of us tend to overeat. Also, breakfast eaters are able to better resist fatty and high-caloric foods throughout the day, according to the study.

Mistake 2: You're Starving Yourself
Slashing too many calories, in the hopes of dropping fat, pushes the body to conserve calories rather than burn them. It literally shuts down your metabolism, too (your body's natural primary calorie- and fat-burning system). Worse, it also forces your body to use precious muscle tissue for fuel.

Solution: Although you do need to cut some calories to slash bodyfat, you don't want to go too low. Drop calories from refined or high-sugar carbohydrates, like pasta, bread, chips, soda, and juice. Make sure you're getting at least 10 times your bodyweight in calories, to keep your metabolism from shutting down. And never, ever cut calories from protein. Studies show you need about one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight to maintain or gain muscle.

Mistake 3: You Don't Get Enough Sleep
Sleep deprivation decreases your odds of shedding bodyfat and keeping it off. Recently, researchers found that healthy men who slept only four to seven hours a night for six nights in a row had higher glucose and insulin levels. In plain English: this is exactly what you don't want. Because a surplus of insulin actually traps fat and keeps your body from breaking it down.

Solution: Eight hours of sleep every night would be ideal, but if you can get at least seven hours of restful sleep, you'll benefit almost as much. Try establishing a regular bedtime and waking hour that allows for seven to eight hours and catch up on as much sleep as you need to on the weekends.

Mistake 4: You're Dry as a Bone
Do you wait until you're thirsty to drink something? This is a big mistake. Studies show, when you're trying to lose fat, especially around the middle, ice-cold water is your best bet. You need it, not only to flush toxins out of your body and to help process your foods for fuel, but you need it to transport nutrients to your muscles and keep your metabolism revved full speed.

Solution: Start your day by filling up a 64-ounce water bottle or gallon jug (old milk jugs work perfectly), and add in about six to ten ice cubes. Your goal is to drink it all by the end of the day. Problem solved.

Mistake 5: You're Relying on an Outdated Fat Burner
Ask yourself this: how many fat burners have you used in the past? And what type of results did you get? Decent? Poor? Nothing at all? Chances are, you probably didn't notice anything spectacular in the way of results. Why? Most don't live up to their claims. Almost all of them aren't clinically tested. Quite likely, they're outdated. And worst of all, some may help but they produce enough stimulation that it feels like your heart is going to pound out of your chest.

Solution: Quit throwing your money down the drain. Put your trust in a company that can fully back up its claims. A company that invests heavily in clinical research. One that puts your safety above all else, even profits. And offers an unconditional, money-back guarantee. One such company is iSatori Technologies, where scientific integrity and constant innovation are top priorities. Exercise and proper diet are important, but try their new, natural weight-loss supplement, designed specially for women, which is based on the latest scientific breakthrough, Curvelle (http://www.myCurvelle.com).

Curvelle speeds up your weight loss by slowing your blood sugar--preventing spikes and crashes to eliminate your cravings for sugar and other foods that wreck your diet… and finally unlock your body's natural ability to burn excess calories for energy. And because it contains special antioxidants, it is ideal for the woman who wants to look younger and more radiant on the outside, but just as importantly, wants to feel healthier on the inside. (Men: iSatori Technologies also has recently engineered a new high-performance fat burner, called MX-LS7 [http://www.MX-LS7.com. Recently voted #1 Best in Class by Jeff Everson's Planet Muscle magazine because, according to users: it starts burning bodyfat, fast, from the very first dose to reveal chiseled, granite-like abs.)

So, there you have it. Add these easy-to-follow weight-loss "solutions," along with one of the new breakthrough fat burners mentioned, to your healthy diet and active lifestyle, and you won't be disappointed this New Year!
