Great question! I have just the right answer for you friend...transition the child into eating just raw fruits and veggies. No need to calorie restrict or have portion control because fruit does not make you fat! I have been vegan for over 5 years and still was unhealthy. It wasn't until I went raw for me to lose weight and feel the best I felt in my life.
Use ripe bananas and dates as the staple in the diet. You can blend fruit for breakfast and have a big salad with fruit for dinner. It is very important to eat as many calories as they can to gain best results for nourishment and detox of fat.

You certainly could lose weight on a vegan diet if you choose to, but going vegan won't guarantee that you will lose weight. You can still over eat even if everything you are eating is vegan.
Most likely
It depends on what you eat. Purely becoming Vegan does not ensure weight loss. In order to lose weight, you will need to burn more calories than you consume in a day, so even if you eat Vegan, you could still be eating unhealthy food. Here is a link to a "skinny" Vegan diet that should be able to help you lose weight. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/skinny-diet-not-big-on-meatw-sweets
They lose weight and get sick less!
Probably not. Especially not if you are using the salad's dressing. Eating a food will not make you lose weight, but eating the right food will lessen the weight you gain. Exercise will help you lose weight.
you should eat up to two hundred calories
Yes! You will want to make sure what nutrients you are missing when you eat an all vegan diet and make sure that your children get these vitamins and nutrients in other foods. It can be very safe and healthy!
If you want to lose weight, you should do this gradually in time because a quick fast weight loss program may not be healthy on your body, and sometimes is least effective.
It depends on what surgery you have undergone. Generally people that have had surgery do lose weight but this is not necessarily beneficial. The speed can be automatic and immediate, should you require amputation for instance.
An 11 year old should not be trying to lose weight unless it's for medical reasons and a doctor is following the weightloss
Keeping weight on is a challenge for vegans--I personally have never seen a fat one (perhaps they do exist, however).
You should never drop weight fast. In most cases, if you are not aided by a doctor during your weight loss, it can cause bad things to happen. Your body will not know what to do. However, if you do want to lose the weight, you can try the Hollywood Diet. It's a drink supplement that says you can lose weight quickly by drinking only that with water.
