Eating Nuts Everyday to lose Weight, Cumin Roasted Almonds Recipe

I am currently reading a book by Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz called "You on a Diet." I thought I could share daily tips for everyone.

Tip: Did you know that it is recommended for people to eat nuts everyday when they are trying to lose weight? "Eating a handful of nuts has been shown to help you stay full" (Roizen & Oz, 2006, pg. 22). Here is a recipe I found for nuts that could be easy snacks to take on the go. I have not tried it yet so everyone will have to let me know how it is. Hope this helps.
