Umm... Kaz... those dates may not have been a good choice. I realise that for most people, fat is a bigger problem than sugar, but for me with my PCOS and insulin resistance sugar is EVIL! 3-4 pitted dates contain 4.5 teaspoons of sugar, which is really rather a lot when you think about it. Add to that they have a GI of around 100 which means they have a MASSIVE impact on your blood sugar levels. I know they may not be as bad for some as they are for me, but I thought I'd let you know. For me, chocolate is the better choice, as long as I limit it.

Still haven't weighed in. DH has put the scales in the bathroom cupboard and then put a child lock on the door. With my hands being all arthritisy lately I can't even get them out!

Surely chasing Sam around is burning off some energy, right?
