Too FAT?

[SnowMan]

Hey Rip,
I have some info for all the knuckleheads out there who, like me have transitioned to an intermediate program and want to cut down on the chub. I am currently doing this (losing fat) by eating over 3,000 calories a day and making steady gains on the Texas Method. This is all due to following the dietary advice on this site: http://www.paleonu.com
It is a site you had linked to previously.

Thanks Rip.

A good link. We'll put it up.

This guy sounds like a bit of a nutjob to me.

"Most modern fruit is just a candy bar from a tree. Go easy on bags of sugar like apples."

An apple has like, what, 70calories?

It sounds like he eats zero vegetables.

I think his point is not that we should completely avoid eating fruit, but rather that we should realize that most modern fruit has been bred to have much higher concentrations of sugar than normal. Therefore, if your diet is intended to reduce insulin spiking, most fruits should be eaten in moderation.
