Neither is "more efficient"...It depends on how hard you are working...That said, it is much easier to slack off using the eliptical...if you set the resistance and incline on your elliptical to the point where you feel like you are working as hard as you would be if you were running, you will probably burn about the same number of calories....

In the end, running is the best for weight loss, but running is not the best exercise for everyone and there are many reasons to not do it. The elliptical can be very effective as long as you do it right and for enough time.

The real answer is that different things work for different people.
