Most foods that aren't processed will have little or no added sugar.
Fresh meats, fruits and veggies. Fresh cuts of meat as opposd to meat
"loafs" like balogna, weiners, etc. I try to minimize pre-prepared
sandwich meats. I use real meat instead, like chicken salad
sandwiches, roast beef sandwiches (on whole wheat or whole rye of
course). Fresh fruits and veggies as opposed to canned stuff, or
worse, that fruit roll-up crap. A lot of canned fruit have a lot of
sugar added. If you can see the part of the fruit where it was
attached to the plant, then it's pretty wel assured that it's good and
healthy. The fresher the better. Fresh eggs are extremely healthy.
Fresh fish is extremely healthy. Fresh lettuces are great, the darker
the green the better. Fresh olive oil and butter are extremely
healthy.
I drink water for the most part and when I want a treat I have a diet
soda. I would rather have a bit of aspartame every once in a long
while than have sugar every day.
I don't understand why people insist on having to have a sweetened
drink every time they have a drink. Water is god's gift to us, and its
free, unless you insist in buying it by the bottle. But it is by far
the healthiest thing you can drink. Yes, even better than those
"sports" drinks, which are just sweetened and salted water.
I avoid the sweeter fruits that have been selectively bred to be
sweeter, like corn and bananas. I also avoid large amounts of potatoes
and starchy tubers. Pretty much everything else goes.

yes I am learning this.... and slowly eating more fresh
natural foods. Not buying processed foods such as TV
diners any more.

Wow. Bananas have been bred to be sweeter than normal
in nature? Didn't know that!
