The High-carb Raw Vegan Diet ...

The high carb raw vegan (HCRV), or 80/10/10, diet is based on the health benefits of eating only the most nutrient-dense foods available to humans: "eat as much fresh fruit as you want, and as many leafy greens as you care for". The diet gained popularity through the book "The 80/10/10 Diet" written by Dr. Douglas Graham. He states that the caloronutrient ratio—the relationship between carbohydrates, proteins, and fat in our diets—is a key factor in gaining and maintaining a healthy and fit body. He recommends that at least 80% of total calories consumed should come from carbohydrates, 10% or less from protein, and 10% or less from fat. While the percentage of protein doesn't seem to vary dramatically across human diets (it is mostly in the teens), the carbohydrate-to-fat ratio does. The proponents of this diet claim that when the carbohydrate intake exceeds 80%, a wide variety of health issues—including heart diseases, diabetes, overweight, auto-imune diseases, and digestive disorders—go a way. In addition, it seems to be beneficial to mental health and physical performance. Research especially in sports sciences seems to agree, and a number of high-performing athletes are now following this diet.

Criticism

80/10/10 a.k.a. LFRV was created by Doug Graham. HCRV is Harley's variation of the 80/10/10 diet. The main differences between the two is that the HCRV advocates eating a high amount of calories (as much as you care for), while the LFRV diet advocates eating a sufficient amount of calories depending on your gender, activity level and your body composition goals.

I would advise that you write two separate wiki pages, one for the LFRV diet/lifestyle and the other for the HCRV diet/lifestyle. Both pages could reference each other where applicable.
