The v8s - try to find the ones that are only juices without any added ingredients and be sure htey have no added artificial sweetener - some of them have sucralose (Splenda) in them

Chocolate is fine, dark chocolate may actually help. The thing with sweets is that you can have them (I assure you I've always eaten tons of sweet stuff and gotten boy after boy doing so) but it's not the best way to "spend" your calories. And since people can end up gaining too much weight on HE Diet if they aren't careful, it's just better to focus on things that aren't just mostly empty calories
^^ and this kind of includes bananas too - there are other fruits out there much more nutrient dense than bananas that have equal or greater potassium so don't get so focused on the bananas that you can't eat berries and stuff like that.
