Experimenting With Medjool Dates

[Poppy]

I’ve been playing around with these. Sticking with one per day. They’re extremely nutrient dense. Probably make a good weight gainer if eaten in quantity.

My dad eats them and then shits all over the toilet

Haha you certainly won’t be stopped up.

 

[Poppy]

Can’t tell a difference…I crap a lot!!!

 

[NeuroRN]

Sammmmme. It’s so bad everyone at work assumes that’s what I’m doing if they can’t find me.

I love dates, just so damn calorie dense . I make these nut balls with dates, peanut butter, oats all blended up dry. Roll into balls and cover with shredded coconut

I love them I also like being full however and can’t stand how calorically dense they are. Never had a problem and they taste like candy!

@Kad1 @Future_ifbb_pro14900

Yeah that’s why I’m only eating one a day. I can see where I could wreck my a1c and pack on 10 un-needed pounds quickly.

 

[Poppy]

Those sound delicious. Calorie bombs. Hahaha

 

[Poppy]

I understand that. They eat easy and I could probably put ten of them away easy. That would kill my dietary restrictions for 2 or 3 days.

 

[Future_ifbb_pro14900]

I totally understand, I can’t have them in the house because I’ll get carried away. Keep us posted on any benefits you notice, I’m curious after reading the article you linked!

 

[Poppy]

Will do!

My next dr’s appointment with labs is the end of july. Might push it back a week or two due to vacation. So we should have a pretty good idea of what it does.

I’ll know if they’re turning me into a fat azz before that. Just got to limit to one a day along with one slice of whole grain bread and one table spoon of olive oil.

Cheez louise my life just blows sometimes.

 

[Poppy]

I could see where these could be helpful to the fellas that need to pack on some weight.

They are very calorie/sugar dense so when I have them I do so around the training window. They are a useful snack to have on hand especially when using insulin.

 

[Poppy]

I’ve been playing with them…one for prewo

 

[herrubermensch]

One of the greatest things in life: Bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese, then baked. I could eat twenty of those things!

 

[Poppy]

Sounds over the top delicious

I’d eat em
