Re: Aloe vera juice
It's not exactly disallowed. Dr. Atkins never mentioned it. It's a cactus and could be considered a veggie, so I don't see why not in less than large quantities. Maybe the experts can tell you a little better than this.
According to food.com, one cup has 3 calories and less than a carb (0.8g)

People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

Re: Aloe vera juice
Thanks, Sunny. Now that I got it though I'm not sure what to do with it
It's pretty strong tasting. I tried mixing it in with a veggie shake and I couldn't handle the taste.
