I am obese and want to start dieting and exerciseing. first i want to detox my body, how long can i safely try the chicken broth & water diet

Balanced diet: Avoid extreme diets. You basically need to burn more calories than you take in. Increase your exercise, choose healthier, less-caloric foods and drinks. The nice thing is that if u build more muscle you will even burn more calories while you sleep! and don't focus too much on weight. Focus more on pants-size, etc. Muscle weighs more than fat but that's ok--its good wt.
