No I am not a raw vegan and yes I eat quite a lot of fruit. My diet consists mainly of vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains, some fish, some dairy.
Fruits like kiwi's, pears, apples are only 5 GL. Most vegetables are very low on GI and GL. So I think it would be possible.
But maybe you feel fine on a daily GL of 150. I have not found many online resources on recommend daily GL. Just this one of dutch food expert that I trust who recommends 100 (not for a raw vegan diet). If finds good online resources, I would like to know.
One thing about your diet: I personally prefer to eat 7 times on a day. I believe in eating many small meals/snacks.
