Proceeding contribution from Lord Darzi of Denham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Obesity.


Obesity

My Lords, my noble friend raises the very challenging issue of calories-in versus calories-out. The difficulty with that scheme is that it all depends on the size of the engine. The basal metabolic rates of biological beings are very different and this will remain a challenging problem. My advice would be to have a personalised exercise scheme to fit the individual’s age, weight and cardiovascular status.
