If you are looking to lose a few pounds in order to get your best beach-ready body, then perhaps you should consider adding some aloe vera gel to your diet. Aloe vera juice is not often advertised as a weight loss aid, but it should.

In fact, chances are excellent that you have one of these plants in your garden or on your kitchen windowsill for burns.
