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

    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 (yeah right!)

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

    I've had people tell me I look like a high school student last year, when I was 23.
    On October 9, 2005, I became a raw marathoner!

    On October 22, 2006, I became a two-time raw marathoner!

    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!!

    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.

    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'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 ... lol

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

    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.

    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!
