If you're 50-100lbs overweight do the atkins with water based workout. Will lead to quick weight loss and is easy on your joints until you get your weight down enough to start running.

and what research have you done? do you have any first hand knowledge? what about anecdotal evidence? have you held double-blind trials?
there are some people i know who when trying to do the initial two weeks find themselves to be very lethargic. but i know other people who feel like they could run forever. and i have personal experiance of that. but yeah, if you're only 15 pounds overweight, you really shouldn't be doing it.
