Dates

I'm loving the new raw cashew and date bars (158 calories) I've found, but they're very sweet and I'm worried I'll start craving them and/or get blood sugar spikes which will re-start the general sugar cravings. How dangerous are dates in this regard? Has anyone had trouble with them? Thanks for the input!

Unless u have diabetes dates are really good source of sugars and vitamins and fibers. I've been eating them daily for more than i remember and still good, u better take them before u hit the gym will give u energy boost4

Plain dates make me crash.
I haven't had those bars - how much carbs and protein do they contain? High sugar/low protein makes me crash.1 -
That's interesting, I'll have to check the proportions tomorrow. Yes, I like the fibre element. Perhaps it's like anything - ok in moderation. It's just that moderation is so bloomin' hard to do!0

Larabars! Love them. Full of dates. Lots of lasting energy. Lots of different flavors. My favorite is the peanut butter choc chip. They're a bit pricey but I believe you definitely get what you pay for.1
