So if you start raw in your twenties....

[PasRenee]

Will you start to look like your 10? LOL

Seriously though, for those who are starting raw at a younger age, have you noticed that you look drastically younger?

And... for everyon else... Have your wrinkles disappeared? How much younger do you look?

Thanks!! Need inspiration... ;)

im 2 months shy of 20 and been on the raw path for a year

how i look has changed a lot. maybe because ive matured physically but probably bc my face is a lot thinner. but i dont look 10 lol

starting this young im sure will have fantastic benefits in 20 years. i personally hope to break the 100 mark :)

I'm not in my twenties (I'm 35) but I get a lot of folks telling me I look really young...some say 25, some have said 17 and one woman (who was actually meaning it in an insulting way) said I looked 12 :rolleyes: (yeah right!)

I don't think I look like a teenager, but I think I could pass for being in my mid-twenties *shrugs*

[yeahbethany]

I've had people tell me I look like a high school student last year, when I was 23.

[JennaBoBenna]

I'm 19, and because I'm short and pudgy, I look younger than I am. People have guessed 15 and 16 as my age! Heck, I'm playing a 12 year-old in the play that I'm in!!
I think I look my age when I'm raw because my face gets thinner.
But it also depends on the time of day. I look really young in the morning and then older at night. I'm really hoping the longer that I'm raw that I'll start to look my age

I went raw in July, 2006. So far this month, a lady thought I was born in the late 70s. I was born in 1969. Last week, a lady thought I was my 8 year olds sister!! Not only do I think I look younger, but I FEEL younger!!

[Bobbie]

I started at 14 and within a few months I looked 10.

[sungoddess]

I am 18 and after 2 months I look like a 25 year old with a 13 year old's cystic acne. I am hopeful though. This is just wayyy rough.

[Goldsplinter]

I look a bit younger. I'm 17, 18 in december.


But one notable difference is, I feel and act younger... sometimes my friends ask if i'm high/hyper or something. I bet a lot of raw foodists that are in their 30s-40s get asked for ID when buying ciggarettes and alcohol. :)

I wonder how many raw foodists actually BUY ciggarettes and alcohol :p

[sunflowery]

i'm 23 and people say i look 15 or so. i'm 4 months 100% raw, vegetarian for 7 years, so i'm used to hear 'you look 13' when i was 17, or 15 when actually i was 19.
it's cool, i think looking younger reveals the inner health and well-being of the person.
the only bad thing with this is that more teenagers than older boys could ask you for a date (personal exp :o ... lol

[Goldsplinter]

Or maybe, the SAD diet people look too old (or getting old too quick)

[sunflowery]

i think that's true

[Goldsplinter]

i remember a long time ago, about milk n stuff, and I think it also included obesity, how girls (the fatter ones) are getting their period much earlier in life.

[dreamrawalwz]

Well. When I was 12 people said i was 14. From ages 15-17 I was thought to be 15. At 18 I was considered 14, and at 19 I'm also considered 14, but sometimes "middle school" age. A customer came in to Kohl's when I was working there said "wow, I can't believe they let middle schoolers work these days!" I did't know how to respond lol. Kind of embarassing at this point, but I know when I'll get older it'll be great! I just hope I don't look any younger right now haha!

[Brianna]

I'm 19 and I work at Hippocrates Health Institute. Guests ask me often, "How are you working here? You're not old enough to work are you?" Most people guess that I'm anywhere between 12 and 17, though I don't think I look 12. Everyone thinks my 18 year old brother is older than me (he's on a terrible diet.) I used to get offended when people thought I was younger than I am, though that didn't happen often. Most people used to think I was a lot older than I was. I hope I stay looking this young for a long time!

Question ... is there a certain way a person is supposed to look at a certain age????

[Goldsplinter]

What if really do start getting our body-age reversed and we turn into little babies!

(That was like a twilight episode I think)

No .

Or beyond that, into gnoolies!

[PasRenee]

I don't think anyone is "supposed" to look a certain way at any age. However, we are used to the changes we seen in people like wrinkles.

If there is a way to look way younger than your years but have the same brain... That would be great!

I am 26, my husband saids I look 19, people always assume I'm younger. I recently met a 27 year old and I was shocked! I kept thinking, is that going to be me next year? LOL

[Angeline]

My husband and I were both born 1-20-69. He is 45 min older than me. He was raised as a vegetarian and now eats meat since he was 16. I was raised eating meat and became a vegetarian in my late teens, then became vegan and now since 9-11 eating 100 percent raw. I've had people mistake my daughter and I as sisters, and once my husband was asked if his daughters needed a ticket when we were getting raffle tickets. I don't really put much stock in how old or young I look, because I still feel the same as when I was a kid. I think it's the attitude that keeps you young, not the absence of wrinkles.

[eatyourbroccoli]

I am 18 and after 2 months I look like a 25 year old with a 13 year old's cystic acne. I am hopeful though. This is just wayyy rough.hunny im right there with u with the skin problems. im 19 and my body should be over this puberty hormone crap already. but raw just brought it back :(

[eatyourbroccoli]

and does maybe how old you look have to do more with facial bone structure and body shape?

...maybe? (...please?) :)

just wondering because everyones saying how people tell them they look so young and im 19 and people always think im 24 or 25

i AM 5'9 and 135ish from italian/norwegian decent and do have a bit of..uhh.."curveage" goin on

yea..THATS my defense. my genetic curveage. :rolleyes:

you guys have me scared that im gunna look stereotypical 40 at 34 :eek: lol

[PasRenee]

Has anyone had any spots/scars clear up since starting raw?

[vgloveforlife]

I'm almost 27 and since going raw people have said I look 18. When I was very high raw in the summer I had teenage guys hitting on me!! Every time I go back to partial raw with more cooked though I'll have older guys hitting on me instead of the teenagers.

I think going raw has made a few of my smile lines more noticeable which I hate. I think it's because my face has lost a lot of fat.
