The aloe vera juice can be taken from tubules of the plant, and help you to concoct a miracle drink packed with vitamins and minerals. The juice can treat illnesses such as ulcerative colitis and constipation. While it makes for a conventional medicine as well as a cosmetic, it could be a weight loss aid too, according to thehealthsite.com.

Aloe vera's amazing properties include laxative chemicals to improve the digestive health and cleanse the body, contributing to weight loss. Aloe vera juice can increase metabolism and burn the stored fat in a body. It also has natural antioxidants that prevent the growth of free radicals in the body, which in turn can steady the body mass index (BMI).

Aloe vera burns the energy from carbohydrates and fats stored in the body. Ayurvedic experts say that aloe vera juice consumed through the week is like multiple workouts, according to homeremediesforlife.com.

There are also lots of protein collagens that help in the growth of muscles, while extra energy can control the body's weight. Drinking aloe vera juice will add vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E, folic acid and niacin to your body, with the vitamins helping you to burn calories and maintaining perfect health.

Follow a healthy and balanced diet even as you consume the plant juice. Whole grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy, nuts, vegetables and fruits can be consumed to make you feel sated for longer periods, so that you can take in fewer calories. Regular exercise too can be followed.

The best way of extracting aloe vera juice is from the leaves, which need to be washed thoroughly, after which you can remove the upper skin of the leaves. Grind the leaves and extract the juice, filter and refrigerate it. As it tastes bitter, you can mix it with honey, both of which help if you are experiencing indigestion.

Make sure you buy organic, concentrated aloe vera juice.

Drink just one teaspoon of aloe vera juice about 15 minutes before a meal for effective weight loss. You need to follow this course for a week or two.
