Doing the Four Hour Body, paleo, troglodiet (tm), I can't eat enough. In fact, the more I eat, the more body fat I lose. It's crazy. I even managed to convince my gf, who now eats with abandon, and she's lost 30lbs so far.
Ferriss warns in an early chapter that you will eat more than you've ever eaten before. Chomping thru 3 yummy kale salads (or equiv) per day, I stop eating when I'm tired of chewing. My salads are stuffed with calories, like bacon, turkey, avocado, tahini, craisins, etc.
Back to the fructose...
All I know comes from Lustig (sorry, I'm still not a biologist), why refined foods like HFCS are bad. The different metabolic pathway for fruit juice vs fruit. The sucrose splits into fructose and glucose. Body needs glucose whereas fructose is poison (just like alcohol). The fiber found in fruit et al blocks digestion of the fructose.
I don't have any cites for how fructose is crack for cancers. I assume it's true. Diabetes, hypertension, and obesity are reason enough to avoid fructose.
(Further, I vote with my dollars. Screw the corn lobby and their market distorting subsidies.)
Lots of veggies, some fruit, nuts, meat. Four Hour Body throws in slow carbs like legumes (black beans). Ferriss also advises one "cheat day" per week, for eating treats, for both psychology and something about hormones (which I don't understand). This week it was cheesecake and croissants.
Not all calories are the same.
