Foods without refined sugar include fruits such as apples, berries, and oranges, which are rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just beware of dried fruits and fruit juices, which often contain concentrated or added sugars.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_one_banana_a_day_too_much_sugar\"><\/span><strong>Is one banana a day too much sugar?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, one banana a day is not too much sugar, if it\u2019s part of a balanced diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bananas are rich in natural sugars, as well as potassium, fiber, and vitamin B6.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fiber present in bananas, like that in all fruits, helps slow down sugar absorption, making them a healthier choice, especially compared to ultra-processed, sugary foods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_eat_honey_on_a_no-sugar_diet\"><\/span><strong>Can I eat honey on a no-sugar diet?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey is generally not allowed on a no-sugar diet.

These foods provide complex carbohydrates, including fiber, as well as many essential vitamins and minerals.
