How to Eat at McDonald's and Still Lose Weight
You want to lose weight and you are trying to lose that 20 pounds or that 100 pounds. You are doing pretty well in your weight loss attempt and then it happens. Your group wants to go out and eat and you pull into a McDonald's fast food restaurant. You think all is lost for your diet but that is not true. We are here to tell you that you can go to a McDonald's and eat some food and not have to blow out your diet. If you think this is not true then chances are you are not doing too well on your "diet" and have been struggling for quite awhile to lose the weight. If you fall into this category then read on and learn how to break away from the diet madness and get off the merry-go-round of trying to lose weight.
If you think you cannot walk into almost any restaurant and order healthy food then you have not fully grasped the entire driving elements of true and pure healthy weight loss. If you truly want to lose the weight you need to change your mind set. You need to break the pattern of all your prior "diets" and stop looking at losing weight as something that happens only during a set time period on the calendar. You need to stop thinking that you need to lose those 20 pounds to go to that wedding or go on that vacation. You are hesitating to go to that reunion because you have gained too much weight and now you want to lose it fast. This demonstrates a complete lack of understanding how weight loss really works. If you were to go on a weight loss crusade and starved yourself into losing 20 pounds you will end up gaining more than 20 pounds after you end your diet. The reason is basic human physiology. Your body has a defense mechanism that when your body is starved for food it will stop burning the fat and start burning muscle. Sure you will reach your short term weight loss goal but when you start eating normally again you will not only gain the weight you lost, but will pack on a few pounds to help you if you are to experience the issue of starvation again. This is when your body will think it has to overcompensate in case the reasons for your prior drastic weight loss were to happen again. This is one major reason why you keep gaining weight slowly over the years. This is an issue of yo-yo dieting.
If you want to really lose the weight you can eat at McDonald's or pretty much any other place you stop at. This is because one meal is not going to make you gain 20 pounds. The 20 pounds you are trying to lose have been gained by months of poor eating choices. If you really want to lose the weight then you need to skip the "diet" and start a "live-it". This may sound corny but it is the truth. If you were to embark on a life long journey you would be able to enter a McDonalds and eat decent food choices that will not cripple your weight loss. If you entered McDonald's and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and a parfait and water you would only consume 580 calories. If you went further and asked for no sauce and used ketchup you would even have less calories. You could also choose a salad and have an even healthier meal choice. If you are now sitting in front of your monitor thinking I do not want to choose that I want (need) to have a burger, fries and a soda. If this is how you think then you may have revealed your true cause of your weight problem. You just may not be ready to commit yourself to weight loss. If you are not ready then do not beat yourself up over the issue. If you truly want to lose the weight you must know that in order to really be able to lose the weight you need to lose no more than an average of one or two pounds a week. This way your body does not really notice it is happening. This way you will lose the weight and you will be able to keep the weight off for the rest of your own personal forever.

Text message coupons are for customer loyalty and a good opportunity for companies Big Green Go
More and more entrepreneurs go and use of mobile SMS and mobile marketing for customer retention and product updates. You acknowledge that the low recovery rate of paper coupons by wasteful use of natural resources. For this reason, create mobile coupons, which can as high as a 20% repayment rate is a better and more sustainable alternative. This is not only a very effective marketing tool, but more importantly, a step towards a greener environment.
If peopleSent breach of a paper coupon to them in the mail, it is only thrown in the trash and dumped in a landfill. How would it be mobile with a coupon? Because it means that 85% of Americans own a cell phone, this is a workable solution. If someone ignore a text coupon simply delete it.
Better yet, along with a variety of other reasons, now the ability to influence decisions of their customers immediately and at a much lower cost than print. Not to mention text messages have a 95% read rate. Weall know, customers are looking for any way they can save. Now they can simply opt-in (by sending a time, text) directly on their phone will receive coupons from this business. Customers no longer have to buy twice as they leave their homes or to think it never printed coupon from the site. Therefore, direct marketing is effective and valuable natural resources are saved.
Each company should be more eco friendly and have a kind of GREENestablished in one area or more. Imagine how many trees are saved if a few million companies send SMS coupons (only for existing customers) instead of paper.

Molybdenum supply be problems, Mining Exec Says
It is a polite arrogance of the new king of primary molybdenum producers that comes with the big kid on the block. That is, as Chairman of the Board called Blue Pearl Mining during our hour-long telephone interview about the development of his company, the future of the molybdenum market and new companies to imitate the hope of its success.
Ian McDonald may very well his opinion. Finally, Blue Pearl has the same number of molybdenum poundage in 2007produce as Cameco Corp. of uranium. (And free from those pesky legacy contracts or remediation efforts at Cigar Lake.) Blue Pearl is now the largest publicly traded primary molybdenum producer. The company plans to mine about one fifth of primary molybdenum in the world "in 2007 about five percent of the total mined molybdenum in the world. His company will also roast about 12 percent of the molybdenum in the world. Not bad for a company that is a Penny Stock was about seven months ago.
Blue Pearlhas become the darling of Bay Street as the company announced its audacious U.S. $ 575 million acquisition of privately held Thompson Creek Metals Company. After the closing of the transaction in late October, Blue Pearl now owns two operating molybdenum mines and concentrators and a metallurgical (roaster) facility in Pennsylvania. In mid-June the company's shares to be traded less than C $ 1.80, yesterday, the stock closed at C $ 12.06. Since the end of August, have shares in Blue Pearl steadily increased,with only brief pauses of consolidation.
We had the good fortune to have included Blue Pearl in our seminal article on the ratio of molybdenum metal with the energy bull market last July had to be heard at a time when some of the company.
On Monday the company announced encouraging cash flow from the recently acquired Thompson Creek operations. In the 67 days following this acquisition, Blue Pearl generated sales of $ 150.8 million generated about $ 2.25 million per day. For the year asThis could reach more than 800 million U.S. dollars in 2007, when the price of molybdenum remains firm and the production goes according to plan.
The cost for the issuance of the company Thompson Creek and Endako molybdenum mines in the average $ 6.28/pound. The company sells these 25.74/pound production at an average price of $. By 2008, the company wants me 27 million pounds from these mines. The firm moly price helped Blue Pearl discharge the Second Lien Credit Facility of $ 64.3 million in mid-March.According to news release on Monday, the company has cash of approximately U.S. $ 135 million.
The company expects that its bank debt by 320 million U.S. dollars to pay the first quarterly installment in the fall of 2007 from $ 18.75 million. Blue Pearl incurred $ 401.9 million in long-term liabilities in connection with the acquisition of Thompson Creek Metals. At its current pace of production, the quarterly bank payments amount to the production a little more than a week.
What's on Ian McDonald'sMind?
Historically, according to Western Troy's Rex Loesby annual molybdenum demand has developed around four per cent since the 1950s. This fits well with the prognosis of McDonald's by 700 million pounds in 2020. "This is what you need to supply," he told us. And what is to come? "This is of course the big question," says McDonald. "There is a lack of new projects in the pipeline." And he has reminded us that China has begun to consume more of their own molybdenumProduction.
As with uranium and other metals, China is delivering a wild card for molybdenum. In any moly discussion, China is a major concern for miners. "China produced, in 13 to 14 years, about 110 million pounds and exports of 100 million into a 230-million-pound market," noted McDonald. "Last year, in a 400-million-pound market, China produced approximately 80 million pounds, net exports about 30 million, so they are held. The story is they have a greater amount of their own." Heis quick to point out that global moly demand by six percent in 2006, but China's demand increased some 20 percent.
"I'm not going to sugar coat it," stresses from McDonald. "If they wanted to look bad, they would. If they start dumping on the market, everyone's trash." But he does not believe that is a likely scenario. There are only 39 big mines in the world produces molybdenum, he told us. "But in China there are over 500 small mom-and-pop operations. China is eagerwith some world-class companies, and they have shut down some of the smaller operations because they do not their power is not effective. If you have a large mining companies, they will have a long-term perspective, and maximize the resources of the country. "
What is the origin of the second ahead of rising demand McDonald sees. "There are a growing number of applications for molybdenum." He pointed out that cars consume molybdenum. "There are about 0.9 pounds or so in about a dozenvarious locations in the automobile, and with 55 million cars in the world, which is about 50 million pounds. "This is probably the third largest application of molybdenum.
"High-end molybdenum stainless steel applications consume the largest amount," says McDonald. "Any steel that is used in the ocean or in the vicinity of the sea is molybdenum in it." He pointed out that Blue Pearl about 10 percent of molybdenum production of the company in the sulfide form for the high-end market lubrication sheets --the oil companies. "Most of them in the Tech-oxide, MO3, and about 25 percent would be ferro," he said. "We've just sold some (ferromoly) in Europe for $ 34/pound."
His company was chosen to the production of guidance on the newly launched Sprott Molybdenum Participation Fund. We asked about his involvement. "We receive a small fee for the storage of molybdenum if they choose to buy," he told us. It would be stored at Blue Pearl smelter in Pennsylvania. "We would sell themsome, "he said. added, his company would not be advising the fund to take over the business investment holdings." It would constitute a conflict of interest and we would reçus, "he said.
Provides no new supply on the Horizon
"It is a tremendous barrier to entry for a new primary molybdenum mine to come without us OnStream market," McDonald observed. "Because without a forward sale, financing for the capital to one of these new building could be reduced to veryvery demanding. "He believes that one of the other major molybdenum mines get funded, but he warned:" I think that once you have it does not mean they are all on the road. "He explained his personal experience:" When we raised the $ 575 million last year to buy Thompson Creek, this was a company that is close to U.S. $ 400 million per year after taxes, and we had some heavy work to do. It was difficult. It would be difficult for another junior. "
A place where he sees immediatelyMolybdenum supply is from Blue Pearl's Davidson deposit, not far from the company's Endako mine and milling machines. "We will have the opportunity in the second quarter - I say that in the second quarter, but I hope that very soon," McDonald told us. "It is the highest grade molybdenum mine in the world." He said his company was fortunate to get them for three years. "It was ready for production, and there were a lot of development done in this market." So the company decided on the movefinal feasibility study instead of trouble with a scoping study or pre-feasibility. He said the Davidson project would be in full production in 2009.
What about my development? "There are 2.5 kilometers of underground tunnels, there are great and soil conditions," he said. "We have opened up a few years ago, when nobody had underground railway in 25 years. All the scaling for the entire 2.5 kilometers fit in a five-liter bucket of paint." McDonald told us Blue Pearl plansjust me the deposit and little else: "We will not even crush, just a rock crusher, and it only print up to Endako."
But Blue Pearl is a partner to take on Davidson - the Japanese trading company, Sojitz. "They have 25 percent of the Endako own, and they want to buy 25 percent of Davidson," McDonald said. "It would be useful if they would have the same percentage of own brand. There would be no recovery problems or a combination of ore and al that. We have the same labor force." He hasCaution was the business is not finished yet. "We're looking to do if a transaction with them."
Another project where McDonald hopes that they will have to ensure additional molybdenum supply on a possible expansion of Endako into a "super pit." The company plans, the scoping study will follow later this year, may have in June. "I feel very good to say about that, it's pretty realistic," he told us. "We are a massive resource, and it would be a pretty big task. But, it could be the wind out of somethese other juniors. "
We talked about his vision for the expansion of the mill to 50,000 tons per day. "It is probably now 32,000 tons per day," he said. The first step consists in redoing the reserves and resource calculations at Thompson Creek and Endako with a $ moly price. The previous price was "too conservative," says McDonald. 10/pound We suspect the higher resource productivity, the number would to open the door, raising the estimated 250 million U.S. dollars of the institution of higher tonnage upgradeOperation. And his mind is already moving in this direction.
"Let's say we had done a study within the next year," he said. "It would be until 2008 or 2009 to build it. Unfortunately, because the mine has been forty-two years we would move the existing mill." The mill would have to be postponed because it is ore beneath the present plant site. "It will not happen overnight," he warned.
And what about the other junior molybdenum companies? "We will notGrowth of our company through the purchase of all these other moly deposits, "he replied." Then we have to go and save 700 million U.S. dollars to bet worry about marketing another 20 million pounds a year, and the company on it. Personally, and our board agrees, we would rather buy something that is either in production, and pay a little more for them, or take a little lead in a feasibility study, like copper / moly. We have a pretty good record, or we will have until the end of this year. Then perhaps we could buy MolyProduction. "
What are his plans as the rolls in 2007? "We have to qualify for the New York Stock Exchange," McDonald confided. "We have spoken with them. I think we got the ball rolling this spring, and we could look for an early fall completion. We go to the U.S. come, we qualify and they seem pretty keen on us."
Just to make, so we his story right, McDonald added: "We will not sit on our laurels. We have a lot of growth ahead of us, start-Davidson,Expansion of the reserves of both mines, while a scoping study for the expansion of Endako. Our main task is the one who paid the debt and increasing the reach reserves. That's quite a bit. It's all in our garden and our own know-how. Everything we do, the outside - we will do other things, I think, but they are things that are going to be safe. "
