The two articles sound like a hybrid of the Raw Foods (vegan diet) and the 6 week body makeover diet by Michael Thurmond. Both experience very good weight loss if done properly. In the two programs they stress either no animal protein (vegan) or in small amounts 3 to 4oz in 5 to 6 meals per day (6 week body makeover). The Thermal calorie burning is key in both programs.

If the body is allow to burn or uses all the calories taken in at one meal before the next, weight loss will happen. Protein is much harder to metabolize than fruits and vegetables, so eating less protein allows your metabolism rate to go up. Higher the Basal metabolic rate the more calories burned and the more weight that is lost.

The important thing to remember with a strict Raw Food diet is? Because of reduced levels of calcium, iodine, and vitamins B12 and D, vegans are encouraged to take dietary supplements. On the minerals, salt should not be uses during weight loss. Any salt intake retains body fluids which hurts your weight loss program. The quicker you show weight loss the longer you will stay on the program.

No matter what diet you use Water is the key part of any successful weight loss program. The liver plays the main roll in the metabolism of fat in the human body. If the kidneys are deprived of water the liver has to pick up part of the kidneys functions, which in turns lowers the efficiency of metabolizing fat. You need at least 64oz of water a day for the human body to run like a fine tune machine.

This is a fine example of someone taking two weight loss programs and making one that works for them. Human body types are like cars, some run ok on cheap gas while others become clogged and breakdown. Not every diet fits every body type, so do the research and find out what works for you.
