Please do not entice with these temptations (Rooh Afza). In my olden days, when I did not have to watch my weight, I would have Rooh Afza and shakes made from dates, mango, avacado and so forth. But now, it is not possible. And yes, 4 dates a day would not make you fat. But you dont put only 4 dates in the shakes. Besides, it is not the dates only which you consumed during the course of eating.

Tinkerbell: I am sorry to inform you but the only allowed beverage if you are on a diet is plain water or lemonade (without sugar) sweetened with artificial sweetner. It actually helps to decrease your appetite and burn your fat thereby further increasing you chances of success.
