It is the start of 2012 and already many of us are putting New Year resolutions to lose weight into practice. Everyone who does so starts out with the very best of intentions and yet by the end of January most are back where they started and are disheartened.

Those who fail in their weight loss resolutions tend to have one of the following issues; they adopt the wrong diet plan, they are duped by the “miracle” weight loss industry, they over rely on exercise, or they approach weight loss with a mindset designed to fail.

With such a vast array of diets to choose from, some would-be dieters minimize their chances of success by simply selecting an ineffective or unrealistic diet. Others may fall prey to the charlatans of the “miracle weight loss industry”, who sell all manner of supplements and “fat-burning” pills, promising quick overnight weight loss and that “fabulous figure”.

It needs to be clear that successful weight loss is 90% about what you eat and only 10% about any exercise you may do. However, during January over-eager individuals populate the gym and pound the streets, desperately trying to fit a years’ worth of exercise into a single month, in order to lose weight.

Very few of those people are still exercising regularly after a month or two, due to physical burnout and lack of results. Sadly, these peoples’ focus is misplaced. You simply cannot exercise your way out of a bad diet. The average person would have to run 35 miles to burn off a single pound of body fat.

In this interview Simon Shawcross gives advice and tips for starting The ONE Diet to ensuring that your New Years resolution to lose weight happens.
