The post 5 Tasty Alternatives to your Calorie-Dense Staples appeared first on Dumb Little Man We often need to hunt down excess calories in order to keep that bulging waistline in check. Some people might resort to timely workouts, but nutrition is what works in the long run. However, stricter regimes like detox fluid and juice cleanses aren’t great alternatives since the user needs to be habitual and skipping a day might require them to start from scratch.

Someone recently queried whether they should use a staple or paperclip on correspondence when they are enclosing documents. Business correspondence with more than one page should be stapled. The enclosures should be paperclipped or clamped to the correspondence, not stapled to it. The only time I will staple it is when the attachments are cheques (1).

For instance, if you’re hosting a family gathering, you can pair kids up with partners to share holiday staples that are high in sugar, calories, and fat. Some holiday food staples are a must but substitute food items and ingredients that are lower in calories, fat, and sugar as much as possible. Adults aren’t the only ones who have to worry about growing festively plump during the holidays.

If it’s actually been a week since you needed to staple something, why is that stapler still next to your phone?

Why not give the “clear desk = clear mind” side of the debate a try in your own workspace?
