Wow, we certainly have different body types.  I love fruit, and I'd eat it
all day long if I could.  I put on weight like nobody's business when I eat
multiple servings of fruit per day.  Like you, vegetables do not give me
what I need.  Fruit gives me most of what I need, but not all of it.  I
also have to eat some complex carbs at least once per day (a couple of
potatoes with dinner usually does it).

To lose weight, I have to reduce calories and reduce carbs (both fruit and
complex carbs).  However, when I develop software, it is almost entirely
impossible for me to not consume large amounts of food.  Part of me wonders
if it is emotional in nature (release of pressure, feel-good food, etc.).
