I'm not sure. I personally was overweight as a child and obese at 23. I never really attempted dieting because it was always presented as a complicated process which was rarely successful. Only after someone else experienced success on Atkins and explained the ease of the process to me did I attempt it on a whim one day. It was difficult for the first two weeks but quite straight forward afterwards, and I have never looked back.
