Increase Innate Attractiveness?

[applequist]

I read an article about a woman who began a raw food diet. When she began she was severely overweight. The article says that within one month of beginning the diet she had a date for the first time in five years. I would assume that getting this date was not due to a dramatic improvement in her physical appearance since she had not had sufficient time on the diet to lose a great deal of weight. Is it possible that raw food diets make people more attractive to members of the opposite sex for reasons other than improvements in physical attractiveness? Do other members have personal stories to tell?

Oh my God I was just talking to a good friend of mine about this very subject last night. I was trying to decipher the recent increase in male attention I've been receiving. I believe it has to do with how I'm feeling. I feel great! I think people pick up on this and it's powerful stuff. It's not just about the physical, I think it has more to do with I'm feeling alive, energized, healthy, creative and all of those good things. And this usually generates a spontaneous smile within and without. I smile a lot and perhaps this is also why I'm viewed as approachable. But it is interesting. I look forward to hearing what others are experiencing.

I totally agree with apple! Considering the depth of pureness raw foods possess we can't help but give off a different, more positive and uplifting vibration. It's like reaching up into the sky or cosmos and getting a dose of energy..directly from the Source. :)

I am more unshakable in most areas of my life, bounce out of bed, though I smile anyway I do smile more readily and it's not forced, and even when I think I look a hot mess, men still look or it's just something they see in me and I can tell that they see it in me, if that makes sense.

I'm not exactly an expert on the subject, as I've never had a date/boyfriend in my life, but I bet it has a lot to do with how you feel about yourself. If you feel the raw power, and if you feel confident...it will show!

I think all of that is true. I also believe that by eating our food raw we capture all the electromagnetic "vibration" in the food, which in turn enhances our own magnetism and brightens our aura.

There is really no other way for me to understand why more people look at me so intensely when I'm raw. It's not just my perception, it's real.

We've all heard that beauty is more than skin deep. True beauty starts from within and shines outward.

scent is a powerful attractor and i wonder if, after a month raw, her body was running in a more efficient manner and she was emitting a higher amount of pheromones.

raw just also makes you feel great, too, which im sure shone through.

I feel more trusting of other people since going raw. I used to be guarded and wondering what people wanted or if they were friendly. I had trouble saying no if someone needed something, so I avoided people all the time. Now i am more relaxed. I have stronger boundaries. I don't care what they think of me, and I feel warmer toward others.
I feel that men and women are just being nicer and more respectful of me. Of course, it might just be that I am feeling more respectful towards myself!

I have absolutely noticed that people were responding to me, to "something" that I was putting off. It's been wonderful, yet also very scary for me, I see in retrospect. I just spent a couple of days eating SAD stuff after 5 weeks raw...:(

To be honest, the attention brought up alot of fear and some sadness and I *think* I pushed it away/sabotaged it by eating SAD. It's not that I didn't get attention before, b/c I did. I'm reasonably attractive, raw or not, but the attention I was getting on raw was really kicked up a few notches and I just didn't know what to DO! I feel silly saying that at almost 45, with a loong history of relationships behind me. I guess the last breakup was so difficult that I've not wanted any attention. I just wanted to feel safe and off the radar. I should journal or talk about this. Oh wait, I AM talking! To you guys. I'm sorry to go on and on. I'm a bit surprised that so little time on raw left me feeling so, well, RAW.

That is all. :)

Rawsweetie, I went through a big turmoil when I'd been raw for a number of weeks. I was up and down and crying and afraid. It does get better! These are the trials involved in remaking our bodies and our lives! It is so worth it!

I think raw really does increase one's innate attractiveness.
I haven't lost a pound on raw (was already at a healthy weight). For many months, my acne didn't improve either (at times it was worse). Yet, for some reason, when I am raw, I have to fight the guys off with a baseball bat! (just kidding about the baseball bat. . . I'm a very peaceful person)

also with being RAW, you'll have the energy to run from the hordes of males following you. after a while, sometimes you just need some time away. :)

Thanks, Shashibala :) *HUG* I have been really up and down! It's amazing...and you are right. It's worth it.

I keep thinking about Angela Stokes' book RAW EMOTIONS. I should get that. Plus, I love her and would like to support her efforts, as I would Alissa's.
