RULE #4: DON'T EAT FRUIT.
Humans don't need fruit six days a week, and they certainly don't need it year-round.
If your ancestors were from Europe, for example, how much fruit did they eat in the winter
500 years ago? Think they had Florida oranges in December? Not a chance. But you're still
here, so the lineage somehow survived.
The only exceptions to the no-fruit rule are tomatoes and avocadoes, and the latter should be
eaten in moderation (no more than one cup or one meal per day). Otherwise, just say no to
fruit and its principal sugar, fructose, which is converted to glycerol phosphate more e ciently
than almost all other carbohydrates. Glycerol phosphate triglycerides (via the liver) fat
storage. There are a few biochemical exceptions to this, but avoiding fruit six days per week is
the most reliable policy.
But what's this "six days a week" business?
