Brand names not strictly needed (I know this is not what you asked for). There is no secret, it's just good dietary habits.
Fresh fruit is a source of natural (sugar) sweetness and is a good part of any diet:
raisin
banana
mango
strawberry
orange
etc etc
Avoid packaged goods: protein bars, granola bars, etc. Anything wrapped in plastic with brightly-colored labels should be considered "bad".
Don't drink calories: coffee with "creamer" and sugar, soda, sports drinks, alcohol (hot topic with some people).
Cooked vegetables when caramelized have natural sweetness:
onions
carrots
squash
Natural sweeteners such as maple syrup and honey are better than cane and beet sugar, and far better than artificial sweeteners like aspartame.
Sugar is not bad. Quantity of sugar might be bad. It's up to you to decide what works best for you. I have a sweet tooth and on many health/fitness KPIs I am well into the "good" zone. Weight and blood labs are good.
