• Edit about the 30-40g of fat anf 30-40g of protein per day... it might be actually less than that when I feel best. I have to do some experimentation on my diet and how I feel.

• Exactly, all raw fruits are meant for us humans, they don't harm us. It's when you process the raw fruits that makes them harmful. I wouldnt worry too much about the GI of raw fresh fruits.
