Sugars to Avoid:  No artificial sweeteners are allowed such as Splenda. Basically if you eat something sweet and it is not fruit or dried fruit you cannot say you had no sugar that day.  Also, if the food comes in any kind of a package or bag, can, glass or plastic jar, you must read the food label to make sure it doesn’t have any of the following ingredients in it.  You are allowed to sweeten baked goods with bananas, apple sauce or dried fruit in moderation.
