What about sugar, sweets, and desserts? Am I allowed to eat them again?

Most people like the taste of sweet foods.Small amounts of foods that contain sugar can be part of a healthy meal plan. Desserts such as cakes, muffins, pies, cookies, and ice cream contain a lot of fat as well as sugar.

If you choose to eat any of these sweet foods, just have a small amount at the end of a healthymeal. Have a piece of fruit if you are still hungry. Avoid regular soda, sweetened fruit drinks, and sports drinks as they are all high in sugar. Drink water instead.
