Slow & steady wins the race

by Lorenza

We live in a society where we want everything overnight. Unfortunately, it’s no different when it comes to weight loss. One of the 1st questions we get asked is “how fast can I lose this weight?” Our advice on this matter is Slow & steady wins the race! Don’t sprint towards the finish line.

Below we have listed the Pros & Cons related to Fast weight loss

CONS

• Increased health risks. Without medical supervision, rapid weight loss through an extreme calorie deficit could increase your risk for nutrient deficiencies and electrolyte imbalances. Without all the nutrients needed for your body to run properly, the immune system weakens, putting you at risk for serious illnesses.


• Tired becomes the new norm. Depleting the body of the essential nutrients and calories it needs to function, especially at a fast rate and short timeframe, will decrease your energy level and make day-to-day tasks harder.


• Muscle loss. Intensive cardio and an extreme calorie deficit will not only reduce body fat it will decrease your muscle mass. For you to obtain a nice toned look, you need muscle. Without you will just look flabby.


• Mentally exhausting. Strategies to make rapid weight loss happen require extreme efforts to control diet and exercise. Those kinds of efforts can grind down your willpower, making it unsustainable in the long run so that weight regain will likely happen.


Pros
• Excitement. Seeing the numbers drop down quickly on the scale can be highly motivating.


• Improved health (under medical supervision). For some people, the risks of continuing to live with severe medical issues (Think: Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.) related to obesity outweighs the risks of rapid weight loss. However, this is something that is up to you and your doctor to decide.

Why do we recommend slow and steady weight loss

As Fat loss experts we recommend gradual weight loss because is more realistic and achievable. We do not ask you to drastically cut calories or remove whole food groups off your diet. Instead, we set a steady pace and help you instill simple healthy habits — such as swapping fizzy drinks for water or taking walks after dinner — these habits will benefit your health in the long term.

There are many options and routes to get active and eat clean. We help you find the route that fits you best, it is not one size fits all. When you’re happy, your goals are easier to stick with and achieve.


Pros
• You learn the importance of healthy habits. A benefit of gradual weight loss is that you learn the hard changes that will give you the body you want. In this case, hard changes refers to adopting healthy lifestyle habits affecting the mind, body and diet.

Over time, these seemingly “hard” changes get easier as they become second nature. In a 2007 *review of 80 weight-loss focused studies, researchers found dieters that lost an average of 11–19 pounds in six months were able to maintain an average loss of 6.5–11 pounds, even after four years, with continued lower-energy diet and exercise.

These results were consistent with the weight-loss recommendation of 1–2 pounds per week.


• You’re better nourished. Very low-calorie diets increase your risk for nutrient deficiencies since it would be difficult to obtain all essential vitamins and minerals through food alone.


• Better body composition. Gradual loss ensures that you’re mostly losing fat instead of muscle or water. Eating fewer calories consistently is fundamental for weight loss, but it’s a fine line to make sure you’re not overdoing it. Chronic undereating can be detrimental to your health goals because it can push your body toward starvation.

• Deal with issues beyond eating habits. Gradual weight loss gives you the time to assess your behaviors or personal issues. Typically, calorie-restrictive diets lead to hunger, and hunger leads to fatigue, irritability, anger and deprivation — moods that can lead to emotional overeating. A gradual weight-loss strategy with an emphasis on mindful eating allows you to go at your own pace, eat what you like and tune into your body’s hunger signals.

Cons
• It takes time and dedication. Losing weight — and keeping it off — is hard. It requires you to try new things and make changes. It’s not easy to take what you’re used to and flip it 180 degrees. By losing weight at a slower rate, it gives you time to adjust and cultivate healthy lifestyle changes in your eating habits, physical activity and daily life. Over time, these changes get easier and less intimidating.

      I’m going to recommend this website! ## 文章 5：團隊協作無遠弗屆——如何使用 WPS 雲端實現多人編輯

      隨著混合式辦公與遠距協作越來越常見，選擇一套能夠即時同步的辦公套件變成團隊的迫切需要。WPS Office 繁體中文免費版內建「WPS 雲文檔」服務，支援多人同時在線上編輯同一份文件，徹底解決傳統透過郵件反覆寄送附件的痛點。

      要啟用雲端協作功能，使用者首先必須完成 WPS 帳號登入（以確保文件存取權限）。進入軟體後點擊「雲文檔」面板，選取「新建」檔案，無論是 Word 文件或 Excel 試算表都可進行協作；亦可右鍵選擇想要分享的現有文件，點選「協作」按鈕。此時系統會提供連結或電子郵件邀請，團隊管理者可設定參與者的權限層級為「僅檢視」或「可編輯」，同時保留詳細的修訂記錄與註解，確保機密或重要檔案免遭隨意修改。

      在協作進行中，數名成員能同時編輯。每個游標與修改內容在彼此螢幕上即時呈現，避免了版本覆蓋與合併衝突。即使工作團隊一邊開會討論，一邊在校稿，也不必擔心誰蓋掉誰的更新。WPS 雲端平台還支援無限次版本的歷史保存，假若發生意外誤刪或內容錯誤，可隨時回溯至前次安全備份。這對於進行集團財務預算編列或大型共同報告相當實用。

      再來，雲端文檔的便利不僅局限於個人電腦。WPS 支援 Windows、Mac、iOS 和 Android 等多平台跨端存取，在家中使用筆電登錄相同帳號後，文件自動同步最新進度。即使團隊成員分布在三個不同的時區，都能藉由 WPS 雲文檔保持資訊同步與透明掌握。對於開會後的分工案頭，可以啟用評論功能並標記負責人，跳過層層訊息傳遞。WPS 雲端服務的高度整合，將辦公協作從一人獨自奮戰轉變為高效率的即時互動空間。

      文章 2：免費策略全解析——WPS Office 免費版到底能做什麼？

      許多人在接觸 WPS Office 時，最關心的問題莫過於：「免費版真的夠用嗎？會不會用沒多久就被強制付費？」事實是，WPS
      Office 推出了一套非常明確的「基礎免費、進階付費」策略。個人用戶只要下載免費版，就能長久使用日常文書處理的核心功能，完全不必擔心突然被中斷服務。

      免費版涵蓋 WPS 文字、試算表與演示三個最常用的辦公組件，能順暢建立、編輯及輸出 Microsoft
      Word、Excel、PowerPoint 格式的檔案，無縫兼容主流辦公生態。在文書處理方面，WPS 文字支援標準字體、段落排版、頁面分欄與插入表格等多項功能；試算表則可進行多重排序、公式計算與圖表繪製；演示工具可設計專業投影片，並支援豐富的轉場效果與動畫設定。對於一般上班族、教師或學生來說，這些功能已完全可以應付學術報告、商業簡報與日常統計作業。

      更具魅力的是，WPS 免費版內建大量實用工具，遠遠超出一般人的認知。例如，使用者可以直接在軟體中雙擊 PDF 進行編輯，包含 OCR（文字光學識別）功能，無需再另行購買其他 PDF 軟體。其智慧填充與排版功能，可以協助快速完成公文或論文的格式調整，甚至符合國家標準排版。海量的稻殼範本庫也開放大量免費範本，從履歷表到公司會議記錄單，通通一鍵套用，大幅節省從零開始設計的時間。

      當然，免費版還是有一些使用限制：初期僅提供 1GB 的雲端儲存空間，且部分進階 AI 功能與專業範本需要會員資格才能存取。同時，在部分舊版本的初始設定中，軟體可能會推薦付費內容或出現少量廣告橫幅。不過根據官方資訊，如果使用者不登入並在設定中關閉推薦，廣告情況會有所改善，操作介面保持高度整潔。總體而言，WPS
      Office 免費版的設計初衷即是讓「輕中度」使用者不須花錢就能享受穩固的辦公體驗。對學生、家庭或小型團隊來說，這套軟體顯得格外划算。
