Hi is it safe for me to use aloe for weight loss while im breastfeeding a 2 year old baby?

Better option: The best way to lose weight is by adopting a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruits, veggies and lean protein (plant based proteins are ideal) and regular exercise. Aloe can cause diarrhea and there are not good safety data for nursing moms.
