I am on a diet. Is it okay to eat honey?

I am on a diet and have cut out all sweets, sugar. Is it okay to eat honey? Does it metabolize into fat? I know it is 70 calories per tablespoon, and each has 15 grams of sugars, and I know bears eat honey to get fat for winter... but is it bad to consume a lot of honey when on a diet? By the way, the honey I have is raw, uncooked and unstrained, right from the hive.

The sugar in honey metabolizes the same as sugar from any other source. It is no better or worse to use honey as a sweetener than to use sugar. The processing (or lack thereof) is immaterial.
