Reema asked me to help her loose weight in her comment on the article about losing weight without slowing your metabolism. You truly can lose weight by increasing your metabolism and still eat well.
I really need more information about your specific situation Reema. You said you were 37 and weighed 90 KG, that would be about 198 pounds. I can not tell how much weight you would want to loose to be healthy without more information. Your height is really what determines your ideal weight range. When we know your height and weight we can calculate your approximate BMI which is your Body Mass Index. Your body mass index or BMI is a measure of your weight relative to your height. It measures fat. BMI is a reliable indicator of your total body fat percentage, which is related to the risk of disease and death.
For example I am 54, which really has nothing to do with my weight, and I weigh 135 pounds or 64 kilograms. What determines my BMI is my height. I have a BMI or body fat percentage of approximately 21% which is ideal. You can calculate your BMI or body fat percentage at http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
Once we know how much you need to lose it is easier to determine a weight loss program. In order to lose weight you will need to burn more calories than you consume. One pound of fat is worth 3500 calories. 1 half of a kilogram is equal to approximately 3500 calories. So, in order to loose a pound (a half kilogram) per week, you will want to consume 3500 less calories than you burn. It doesn’t matter if you are burning a pound of fat or consuming food to create a pound of fat, it is still a value of 3500 calories. It is 3500 calories going in as food and 3500 calories going out as exercise. If you eat 3,500 calories more than your body needs, you will put on about 1 pound or half of a kilogram. If you use up 3,500 calories more than you eat, you will lose about 1 pound in weight or half kilogram. The ideal way to lose weight and keep it off is to lose only 1 ½ pounds or .7 kilograms per week through simple metabolism lifestyle changes. This means that in order to loose .7 kilograms or a pound and a half per week you will want to have a deficit of 5250 calories per week. You can accomplish this through eating less calories and burning more calories through some exercise or activities.
