Well, actually there is (or could be). We know there is know miraculous method of losing weight so obviously it is difficult magic - lets assign it a penalty of 15W
so thats a contest of "Make Jane Slim" (Psychology 10w2, Weight Loss Magic 9W2) - very little difference - especially since, as we all know, Gloranthans don't know the numbers, so (except in the case of obviously widely different chances) can't easily compare which is the "best" method (which is another reason why there isn't one, universally agreed dietry regime that will work for everyone)
