This piece from the London Times discusses the ins and outs of switching to a raw food diet -- meaning, according to the article, a raw vegan diet, cutting out “meat, fish, eggs, dairy foods and cereal grains.”

Raw-food followers maintain that the diet can help you lose weight and feel more energized. The author of this article recommends mastering a “nutritionally complete vegan diet before progressing to raw food,” and possibly taking a vegan-approved vitamin and mineral supplement for micronutrients.
