I bought some Medjool dates, did what Rener said to do in the video and BAM! -fell in love with a fruit. Love them. Totally trying to do this Gracie diet...waiting for an update @ Gracie Academy. I need more info, this is good stuff!
I actually just tried Medjool Dates for the first time in my life as a result of watching this video. And let me just say, brother, you weren't lying. These things are HEAVENLY with just a spread of cream cheese on saltines. At first I thought it might taste weird but the combination actually works for the same reason cheesecake tastes good: the combo of sweet, savory, and rich. I definitely recommend everyone watching this video try these things out. You will NOT be disappointed. :)
I love you Rener ha you make a health lesson hilarious just the way you get so excited about it is hilarious. Oh yeah dates actually are so good i tried them after i watched this a year ago
Hey can I give you a suggestion? I always eat dates, I've been eating them everyday for the past 3-4 months. I start off my day with dates, nothing better than the energy you get from eating them. Try cutting the dates into small pieces, then put them into a blender with warm milk and enjoy. It's got a GREAT nutritional value, it's amazing.
despite having a break between cooked meals and fruit meals, plus i am assuming you re working out inbetween, but fruits will always digest faster than anythin cooked, due to water content, so is fermentation over night and causing issues? do you have a fruit meal later to sleep lighter? not sure of your diet logic here but good date info, one of the highest calorie fruits, amazin! peel to reduce fibre, important!
While the Japanese had Japanese jiu-jitsu, the Gracies decided to create a whole new art, which is Gracie jiu-jitsu, also known as Brazilian jiu-jitsu since it originated in Brazil. So Gracie jiu-jitsu is Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
We don't have date palms in Brazil, açaí (Euterpe oleracea) is wide spread though...100g of the pulp gives around 250kcal....rich in iron, calcium, fiber, vitB1, B2 and C.
@ItsMeDaveMan Yeah he did...my issue is that Rolles, although family, is from a different lineage than Rener. The lines have been drawn for a long time. Rolles & Renzo follow the Carlos Gracie...while Rickson, Royce, Rener, etc follow the Helio Gracie Way..same family different philosophy.
They are good i went out and got me a box of dates at a local farmers market and they taste great : ) only thing is i warmed my water on the stove instead as i dont like using hot tap water i do wonder why certain items dont mix with others in this Gracie dies thou id wish theyd explain that.
I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm not comparing the fructose in dates to HFCS. I'm simply talking about the high amounts of concentrated sugar.
+zach spriggs In an interview I`ve heard they are strict vegetariens, though only pork is forbidden in the Gracie Diet. They also dont`t drink coffee at all.
he was just saying you don't have to the skin itself is some what flavorless so there's no point when you're going for sweets its also where any chemicals that were sprayed would land sogetting rid of it is good
eating sea vegetables should be concept of gracie diet, along with eating protiens /carbs/ fats separately due to different digestion times i eat some purple kale while rollin up dat purple haze daily lol at californian dates being best in world, iranian dates are where itz at ,eat sum jackfruit homie now dat's a real treat
The gracie invented gracie jui - jitsu, based on street self defence. brazilian jui jitsu is the name given by people who do it for tournament where there are rules.
OK, so I went out and got those exact dates (medjool) today and couldn't wait to try them. I had them just now with cream cheese and wheat crackers and they were awesome! Mine didn't peel as easy as Rener's did, but mine we're frozen, only cold from the fridge. Anyway, they were great.
Wondering why no one got word of DietOramy diet regime program? I was aimlessly exploring Google and discovered it - I have to admit it truly is the very first diet programs that I've experimented with that doesn't cause me to feel persistently hungry, and I'm nevertheless losing body weight.
AWSOME VIDEO...try cold watermelon with medium salty goat cheese (preferably Haloum)...you'll thank me and eat ur fingers afterwards...its typical iraqi desert.
I know what Dates are, but the biggest problem is that I just don't like them (Alone!) Next best way for me to eat is to them would be Date balls, they're okay. Could the cheese block the taste? Its just the taste that I don't like.
Gracie jiu jitsu comprimises of all of helios standing self defences to grabs headlocks striking clinching including jiu jitsu philosophy all there to protect against punchs and be safe. Brazillian jiu jitsu is generally all ground work with moves like jumping guard, spider guard etc etc where there is no disregard for distance management. in a street fight you would stand a better chance than if you knew nothing but your more likely to get punched because your not taught distance management.
Okay, I love the videos, I love doing GJJ...but someone has to make the joke about how the perfect date has no skin...there's a Silence of the Lambs joke there.
A low glycemic index ? Now I understand where your confusion stems from. Not all fruit has the same level on the the glycemic index. Dried dates are very high and will absolutely spike your insulin level. I like dried dates but I don't eat them in large numbers or as a meal.
you don't really need to worry about calories if you stick to natural plant based foods, now if you bring meat in the diet then you have to worry about calories...
+Ing. Angel Aragundi (Sonus Acústica y Sonido) Of course you are right, it was more a general statement. I`ve done some personal changes in my Gracie Diet: no coconut-water (low quality + highly expensive in central europe), no dates at all, only few bananas from time to time, oranges only as whole fruit (not juiced). Sometimes I add some fresh ginger to fruitmeals and drink green or olong tea between meals. That works for me very well!
David J sugar doesn't cause diabetes. You should check out the research into the relation between high fat diets (like the standard American diet) and diabetes. There's a reason people on the standard American diet get diabetes in record numbers and vegetarians, vegans, and low fat diets like the Gracie diet remain healthy into old age.
Хобби
Do any of the Gracie family suffer from Diabetes? I would be interested to know their blood glucose levels after consuming sugary foods.
I agree you should definately write a book i would definately buy it..
This video is where I first heard of and learned about Medjool dates. This was years ago. Thank you Rener!
You should really get out more...oh wait...it's lockdown
I bought some Medjool dates, did what Rener said to do in the video and BAM! -fell in love with a fruit. Love them. Totally trying to do this Gracie diet...waiting for an update @ Gracie Academy. I need more info, this is good stuff!
Always great stuff. Hey Rener, when you gonna write a Gracie Diet book? That would be great!!
I do enjoy these videos
@defunes. How do the philosophies differ amongst the lines?
Saltine crackers are usually made with oil. Would that not go against the combination rules?
guys what does the gracie diet mainly consist of?
What should I do after I picked them from the palm?
Thy
u guys def. need to write a book on that diet.

Honestly, this is some of the best snack i have ever eaten. But i actually used feta cheese instead of cream cheese.
Thank's Rener
@GracieAcademy this in portuguese means Tâmara. Is it right?

make a vid on the grouping for meals and what to eat plzz

When the Gracie Diet suggests fresh cheese what does that cover?
I figured it out. The last time I googled it all I could find was queso fresco. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
mmm love dates. Should have got some when I was out today.
I would use this with Ezekiel bread toasted. Nutritious sprouted grains, dates, honey, cottage cheese. Yummy
doesn't freezing the dates affect their nutritional value a bit?
While the Japanese had Japanese jiu-jitsu, the Gracies decided to create a whole new art, which is Gracie jiu-jitsu, also known as Brazilian jiu-jitsu since it originated in Brazil. So Gracie jiu-jitsu is Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Theese are the greatest!
Thank's for the tip ;)
Just tried dates for the first time because of this video.......it was great. OOrah!
rener is awesome
haha i love it its like a jiu jitsu lesson in eaten dates for the sweet tooth thumbs up mate
protien please.
thats a bad ass hoodie

awesome
I would be a little bit jealous and a little bit envious
I wish I had the money to buy food like that. I cant afford to shop at Whole Check. Rener should make a video how to eat on a budget.
How caloric are dates?
Depends on the date, but they are good for you.
damn I want that hoodie !!!
I hadn't thought about chemicals to be honest. Good point.
Mahajohl Dates (Phoenix Mahajol) are sweet and good!!!!
try fresh barhi dates :D you can get them at indian markets certain times of year
Medjool dates are the best.
Try this wrap...
Lettuce, banana, medjool date and a pinch of ground almonds... Heaven!!!
They are good i went out and got me a box of dates at a local farmers market and they taste great : ) only thing is i warmed my water on the stove instead as i dont like using hot tap water i do wonder why certain items dont mix with others in this Gracie dies thou id wish theyd explain that.
Agreed.The taste is better than almost any candy.Even caramel is less sweet than dates :D.I eat5 or more right after training.
I eat them whole (well,without the nuts) . The skins are not a problem at all.
@thunderballzz You're forgetting Ralek...
@taxiquoter Rolles is from the Carlos Gracie line not the Helio Gracie! They train for points, the real gracies train for the street!
I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm not comparing the fructose in dates to HFCS. I'm simply talking about the high amounts of concentrated sugar.
@thunderballzz He doesn't "think he's some kind of expert" nor is he claiming that he discovered this. He's just sharing nutritional knowledge.
That's a lot of fruits and sugar in the Gracie diet. No wonder he's always talking to fast :P
Medjool is not a brand is a type of dates! (as other types or varieties are Deglect Noor, Amir Ajj, and a lot more!)
they usually say that watermelon should be eaten alone or left alone.
Rener, are you and Ryron vegetarians? You guys never mention eating meat in anything. If you are vegetarians what are your main sources of proteins?
+zach spriggs In an interview I`ve heard they are strict vegetariens, though only pork is forbidden in the Gracie Diet. They also dont`t drink coffee at all.
Isnt 25 or 30 dates wayyyy to much for one person considering the sugar
ooohhh like that.. And does it fill you? How long do you stay full after it?
+DEMT Engineering it's pretty filling. it's a meal. 30 of them would be about 600 calories. they taste great
"UNBELIEVABLE" hahahah
he was just saying you don't have to the skin itself is some what flavorless so there's no point when you're going for sweets its also where any chemicals that were sprayed would land sogetting rid of it is good

lol at californian dates being best in world, iranian dates are where itz at ,eat sum jackfruit homie now dat's a real treat
they make you go poopie
The gracie invented gracie jui - jitsu, based on street self defence.
brazilian jui jitsu is the name given by people who do it for tournament where there are rules.
holy shit these are so good! althought they shoulda said 2-4 cuz i cant even finish 3 dates haha
Dates are great without washing and peeling. These gracies put so much discipline in everything, too bad they haven't won an mma match in years
Bu they are at least champions with millions of fans, and you?
OK, so I went out and got those exact dates (medjool) today and couldn't wait to try them. I had them just now with cream cheese and wheat crackers and they were awesome!
Mine didn't peel as easy as Rener's did, but mine we're frozen, only cold from the fridge. Anyway, they were great.
like the vid, Rener could sell a bucket of dirt to a farmer. Sold me on the dates!
dates are like the toffee of the fruit world.

try sukkariyya dates if u looking for the sweetest
UN- believable :P
Medjool dates are high in fructose.
@AllahMadeYou
so why do they hate pork?
The Gracie's invented Brazilian jiu jitsu. Helio Gracie.
Rolles is a fine example of a gracie and its diet..lol
UFC 109 ..lol

dates.... ^__^ lots here in UAE.
medjool is a type of dates not a brand
but i have to say i love dates. eating some right now.
Okay, I love the videos, I love doing GJJ...but someone has to make the joke about how the perfect date has no skin...there's a Silence of the Lambs joke there.
Unbelievable

think blue!!!!!!!!
you don't really need to worry about calories if you stick to natural plant based foods, now if you bring meat in the diet then you have to worry about calories...
medjool dates are great when you can get them. raw honey is great because it's always ready for you, i always have some around.
gsp eats meat world champ!!!
lol compared to what eddy and ari eat lol like chiba hut and bugger king :P
the only thing i dont like about honey is that i cant have bannanas when i have honey cheese and toast
lol im confused? gracie diet lets you eat meat.
Rolles clearly did not follow the gracie diet during his training
date taste like syrupy honey pouches :D
he should go on Martha Stewart, and fight with her in a cage-match, and I gotta hear more about this diet
Thats my only problem with the Gracie Diet: Some of their meals are full of sugar!
+peter pichel you can have a tea instead of dates and that's it, it's still a group C Gracie diet meal.
+Ing. Angel Aragundi (Sonus Acústica y Sonido) Of course you are right, it was more a general statement. I`ve done some personal changes in my Gracie Diet: no coconut-water (low quality + highly expensive in central europe), no dates at all, only few bananas from time to time, oranges only as whole fruit (not juiced).

Diabetes is on the way with this diet.

Too much sugar causes a fatty liver, don't know much do you.
Spoikers: It's impossible to "melt fat". Tumors, too.
I could use a date...
What kind?
perfect dates... i have never had one lol jk
you can eat the skin....don't worry lol
Dates aren't sweeter than figs.
Maybe it depends on the variety of date. Every date I've had has been sweeter than any fig I've had. I used to order 15 lbs boxes of ~4 varieties.
Wasting so much water brah!
@thunderballzz the gracie's do gracie jui-jitsu, not brazilian jui-jitsu, go get some education muppet.
dates are a very high-Glycemic index food, might as well just eat pure sugar
pure sugar? you are clueless.
Dates = good, cheese = bad
no hes just trying to be imformational to help his follower don't watch no one cares if you don't internet tough guy
