Check the label on the stewed tomatoes and the picante sauce for added sugars. Otherwise, the recipe looks great for phase 1.

thanks for the reply. The picante sauce shows no sugars, I have to check the stewed tomato's. Is there an exceptable level of sugar content or should there be absolutely no sugars added?

thanks

tomatoes (and many veggies) have naturally occuring sugars.
