Can you eat dates? Can you eat Agave syrup?

My doctor told me that I can consume natural sugars from fruit and diet artificial sweetner only.

My problem is that I hate the taste of diet sweetners...I always opted for natural alternatives such as agave or use dates to sweeten recipes.

Have u tried any of them in your diet?

I have been fine so far and terrified of risking an episode.

    I love dates! I don't eat them often because of the sugar/carbs, but I do eat them regularly. My new favorite way is to dip them on Peanut Butter.

    Excellent question that I should have thought to mention. I am a year out and at most... MOST... I will eat 3 dates. They are so rich and sweet that it causes dumping. If you haven't experienced that yet, read up on it. It's awful.

    Oh, and i just remembered; my wife has been using agave for a long time and I never noticed it. So I can tolerate both of then just fine.
