This is easily achieved by simply eliminating free fats such as butter, margarine and oil, and limiting your intake of fatty foods such as avocado, olives, nuts, etc!. Moderate use of fat-free dairy products is allowed depending on whose program you are following!. Three well-known advocates of this diet are Dr!. Dean Ornish - vegetarian, Dr!. Joel Fuhrman - pure vegetarian, and Dr!. John McDougall - pure vegetarian!.
Raw vegetarian/vegan - As the name suggests, this is a vegetarian or a vegan who doesn't eat cooked food!. Dehydrated foods are often used as a substitute for cooked items, and in the colder months, soups and tea that have been warmed gently are a treat!. As long as food is not heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit, it is considered raw!. The most common foods in a raw diet are fruits, vegetables, greens, nuts and seeds, and sprouts!. Some raw foodists eat soaked and sprouted grains and beans, and some eat raw dairy and eggs!.
Fruitarian - A fruitarian is a raw foodist who only eats fruit, greens, and some nuts and seeds!.

Although this might not directly answer your question, I almost feel as if your looking for a label for yourself!. If that's the case, I was very much like you when I started out over 12 years ago!. I was vegetarian for many years!. Then I moved to HI and started eating fish once in a while and I have continued to which boots me out of the vegetarian club!. I do very little dairy but once in a while, I enjoy a slice of NY pizza!. So, you know what!? Eat what YOU want and forget about labelling yourself!.
The best advice I have is to educate yourself and start eating what makes you feel best!
