Eating them too much can as they have high gylcemic index(which quickly increase blood sugar level),thus causing increase in weight.

Hi,
Eating dates in moderation is not doing any harm. But lack of exercise, poor water intake & irregular sleep patterns lead to other disorders like weight gain, belly fat & disease based problems.
Next Steps
Keep your body overall on good track.

Hi, yes dates are pretty high in calories and sugars where as they are very good for healthy blood production. You may have them thrice a week. Apart from that there could also be many other reasons for your weight gain. If you want to have a detailed discussion kindly msg me directly.regards.
