Max Zero Fuel Weight and G Force

Is the maximum zero fuel weight in aircraft calculated as the forces acting at the max design load limit?

If this is so, and this is purely theoretical and I would be sure entirely illegal in the real world, then if the aircraft was rated to +4G then if one was to overload the aircraft past its max zero fuel weight (but still within MTOW) and the flight was a silken ride with no more than say 1.5G being applied then what are the actual mechanical / structural implications?

Google has let me down on this one
