I think if you took a survey of overweight people you would have a hard time finding one who got that way by eating too much fruit. I find that I can eat as much fruit as I want (maybe 3 a day?) and not gain weight. When I start eating candy and junk I pack on the pounds immediately. I've also found that I can eat as many nuts as I want (maybe 1/2 cup serving?) and not gain weight. I eat them roasted but unsalted. I think you need to eat based on how your own body reacts to foods and not worry about so many strict rules. I don't worry so much about natural foods but try to avoid the processed stuff.
