"Dieting" of the starve-yourself-in-pursuit-of-a-goal variety. Is part of the problem, not part of the solution. But the proper path can seem tortuously slow. This can kill motivation. Keeping motivated is a critical part of pursuing a long-term goal, like trying to get the weight off and then keep it off.

So what can you do?

One surprisingly approachable dietary hack is eating a handful of nuts every day. There is substantial evidence that a handful of nuts helps people establish and maintain a healthy weight, satisfy your hunger so as to suppress cravings and helps protect against myriad health issues.

Try to go for dry roasted. The nuts themselves are very healthy, but that fact can be undermined by roasting them in various oils. Dry-roasted nuts are your best bet for establishing a genuinely healthy new habit.

Studies show that people who consume nuts daily are 25 percent less likely to die from various diseases linked to obesity. They also generally have higher levels of good cholesterol and a lower BMI.

Are you thinking "Wait! Aren't nuts fattening?" Well, no. A great many studies suggest otherwise.

If you still feel you need some little hack to help you succeed, try this concoction that some people swear helps promote weight loss:

Ingredients

  • 250 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Bring the water to a boil. Add the cinnamon and boil for about two minutes. Let it cool, then add the honey. Drink about a half cup just before bedtime.
