you are looking at it the wrong way. Do all you can do, not just the bare minimum. 15 minutes is nothing for you. If you don't put in effort, such as pushing yourself when you feel like quitting, you won't reap any benefits. "Make it count"--one of Nike's slogans, for good reason. I think you should start by dedicating 30 minutes of your day to cardio, like jogging . Remain at a steady pace until you feel you HAVE to walk; catch your breath, go again. It sounds easy, until you start to consider things you'd rather be doing, ahem sitting down. You simply have to get used to challenging yourself and do it consistently.
Obviously, junk food will not help you, and can likely make you feel incredibly lazy. After people start working out, even if they don't immediately modify their diet, I've noticed that eventually they just...do it willingly.
Don't attempt to change your lifestyle overnight. I think that's the worst approach because it makes maintenance 400% harder, and quitting all the more likely.
How often do you work out?
