How Many Burpees It Takes to Work Off a Grilled Cheese, Cupcake, or Glass of Wine

We all need to indulge a little and satisfy our cravings, but sometimes when you try to eat a tiny square of dark chocolate, you end up inhaling the entire bar! Now imagine if instead of calorie counts on labels, packages or menus listed the number of burpees it took to work off a serving. Yikes! Out of extreme curiosity, I did the legwork and figured it out for you. Don't hate me. As downright depressing as it is to see the amounts, it might make you think twice before grabbing another slice of pizza.

Let's say that for one minute of basic burpees done correctly (most people do between 10 and 20), it burns an average of 10 calories. Check out the stats below. They're not meant to make you cry cringe but are just good to keep in the back of your mind if you're trying to lose weight.

• Slice of pepperoni pizza (298 calories): 30 minutes of burpees
• Cheeseburger (423 calories): 42 minutes and 20 seconds of burpees
• Medium-sized McDonald's french fries (380 calories): 38 minutes of burpees
• Grilled cheese (580 calories): 58 minutes of burpees
• Homemade chocolate chip cookie (89 calories): 9 minutes of burpees
• Red velvet cupcake (496 calories): 50 minutes of burpees
• Half a cup of vanilla ice cream (230 calories): 23 minutes of burpees
• Half a bar of dark chocolate (300 calories): 30 minutes of burpees
• 5-ounce glass of red wine (115 calories): 11 minutes and 30 seconds of burpees
• 12-ounce bottle of beer (150 calories): 15 minutes of burpees
• 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola (143 calories): 14 minutes and 20 seconds of burpees

The Pull-Up Guide - It's Not as Scary as You Think!

Despite what you might think, pull-ups are not impossible and can be adjusted for any fitness level. This infamous exercise offers a great upper-body workout that quickly tones the back, arms, and chest. Not only will it make you stronger, but conquering this move will also give an extra boost of confidence and help you feel like you can tackle anything - because, let's face it, you can.

Beginner Pull-Ups

• Assisted Pull-Up Machine: The pull-up machine is a great way to try your first go at pull-ups. The machine uses counterbalance weights, which means the higher the weight you set the machine, the easier the exercise becomes. Start by setting the weight to 20 pounds less than your weight, complete three to five reps, and then adjust the weight accordingly. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to use the assisted pull-up machine at your gym.
• Band Pull-Up: With the help of a superband - a giant, two-inch-thick rubber band - you can tackle consecutive pull-ups. All you have to do is wrap the rubber band securely around the pull-up bar, put it under one knee (or one foot for even more assistance), grab onto the bar (stepping off a stool if needed to reach), and begin your pull-up. Superbands are the same length, but the wider the band, the more assistance. Eventually, you will no longer be a "groupie" to the band and will be able to use your body weight!

Intermediate Pull-Ups

• Jump Pull-Ups: Consider jump pull-ups (pull-ups with a jump start) the next level after the assisted pull-up machine. Standing under the bar, jump up to grab the bar, harnessing the momentum of the jump to pull your body and chin to the bar. If your chin doesn't come close to the bar, don't give up - this move often takes practice.

Advanced Pull-Ups

• Traditional Body Weight Pull-Ups: Using your body weight is the most traditional, but often the most challenging, way to complete a pull-up. With palms facing away from you, grip a pull-up bar with arms extended. Keeping your core tight while engaging your back and lats, bring yourself up until your chin passes above the bar, then lower yourself down into the starting position. The trick (and challenge) to any pull-up is to avoid swinging your entire body or using your neck for added momentum.
• Weighted Pull-Up: When you're ready, let your inner gymnast shine. Following the movements for a traditional pull-up, add a weighted plate for an extra challenge. Using a weight belt or simply holding a weight between your knees, you will be the star of the gym and any workout.

5 Everyday Kitchen Essentials That Have Weight-Loss Power

There's no magic bullet that can help you lose weight, but incorporating these everyday essentials into your daily diet will only support your weight-loss goals. The good news? You probably already have them ready to go in your pantry!

Lemons: You don't need to drink the Master Cleanse to harness the power of lemons. Lemon juice contains pectin, a soluble fiber that has been shown to aid in weight loss.

Apple cider vinegar: Studies have shown that vinegar may help keep you from feeling hungry by slowing stomach emptying; it also lowers the glycemic index of high-carb foods, so it can help you feel fuller for longer.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar levels for people living with type 2 diabetes, aids in regular digestion, and boosts your metabolism.

Olive oil: You might know that the healthy fats in olive oil can support your heart's health and beat inflammation, but they also support your weight-loss goals. Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) can help you feel full, but they also target belly fat.

Hot sauce: Hot sauce offers a boost of vitamin C and capsaicin, a compound found in hot peppers responsible for the serious heat. But even better than sheer flavor factor, vitamin C and capsaicin have both been linked to revving up metabolism.

Don't Get Too Excited About Your Gluten-Free Cheerios Just Yet - They're Being Recalled

In the process of transitioning five kinds of its Cheerios to gluten free, General Mills recalled 1.8 million boxes of both original and Honey Nut Cheerios due to mislabeling of its product. An isolated incident allowed wheat flour to be added to the gluten-free oat flour at the facility in Lodi, California, the only production site affected. GM urges consumers to check the "Better If Used By" dates on their boxes to see if the date matches any of the affected dates listed below:

Honey Nut Cheerios
12JUL2016LD
13JUL2016LD
14JUL2016LD
15JUL2016LD
16JUL2016LD
17JUL2016LD
18JUL2016LD
20JUL2016LD
21JUL2016LD
22JUL2016LD
23JUL2016LD
24JUL2016LD
25JUL2016LD

Yellow Box (original) Cheerios
14JUL2016LD
15JUL2016LD
16JUL2016LD
17JUL2016LD

Those who are allergic to or intolerant of wheat should not consume any of the affected product and are directed to call GM at 1-800-775-8370. The cereals are not potentially harmful to those who don't have this dietary restriction.

In addition to its new gluten-free efforts, GM has also removed artificial colors and flavors, from all its cereals.

Tone Your Back, Stand Taller, and Look Better: Bent-Over Row

If you're looking to tone up and stand taller, try the bent-over row! It is said that ditching the slouch can make you look up to 10 pounds thinner. Not only does this move strengthen your back to improve posture, but it helps shape your shoulders too. While you can do this move using a workout bench or chair, all you need is a set of dumbbells for the version below!

Here's how to do it:

1. With a pair of dumbbells and your feet hip-width distance apart, bend at the waist. Keep your back parallel to the floor with a neutral spine - not rounded.
2. With a slight bend in your knees, hold your arms and the dumbbells extended out in front of you.
3. Engage your abs and squeeze your shoulder blades together as you bring the weights to your torso. Be sure to keep your elbows in and pointed upward.
4. Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position to complete one rep. Do three sets of 12 reps.

A Twist on Lemon Water That Can Help You Lose Weight

Heard drinking hot lemon water can help you drop pounds? And also heard that grapefruit can help you lose weight? Put the two together by sipping on this twist of the classic lemon water: cut up a few wedges of grapefruit and squeeze the juice into your water (hot or cold), or place a couple thin slices into your glass.

While grapefruit water itself isn't a magic weight-loss elixir, the fruit is a low-cal way to add vibrant flavor to H2O. So if you choose it over a glass of juice or fancy Starbucks coffee, it can save you a hundred calories or more, which adds up over time. Grapefruit is also considered a fat-burning food that can kick-start metabolism and curb cravings.
