It is the start of 2012 and already many people 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. Co-authors of new book "The One Diet" Georges Philips and Simon Shawcross explain why this happens, how to avoid it and how to finally succeed at weight loss.

Philips and Shawcross suggest that readers of "The ONE Diet" (ISBN 1904928013) will find the answer to the challenges they face in this one book. It contains an effective, healthy weight loss plan and the psychological tools to ensure a winning mindset. As Doug McGuff MD states, in the foreword, "...The One Diet. It is NOT the next new thing." And "It cannot fail."

The co-authors show how 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.

Philips and Shawcross explain that 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.

"The One Diet" also details how 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".

Philips and Shawcross make it 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." says Shawcross.

"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."

"The One Diet" provides the answers to keeping those New Year's resolutions to lose weight and achieve a healthier lifestyle.

"The One Diet" is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
