Anyone else notice that their sense of beauty in the opposite sex has narrowed CONSIDERABLY since they started this diet?
I wonder if it has something with the senses being more acutely aware, but I seem to consider most women to be somewhat unnattractive as compared to before (even those who many would consider to be attractive by conventional standards).
Thoughts?

Thomas, can you think of any particular reason for this to be the case? Perhaps watching those around you consume cooked junk that you know is full of toxic rubbish?
Slightly off-topic. but I live in a shared house with over fourty people - given their nationality, the majority consume rice as their staple. I am not terribly fond of rice anyway, yet can barely watch people reheat this already 'dead' food in the microwave.
Anyway, to return to your original question, perhaps it is because my senses are heightened upon maintaining this raw lifestyle, however I must say I find the smell of cigarette smoke - and particularly those smoking - almost nausiating.
Take care,
James

i find a lot of women start to feel insecure around me, bc i look younger and more slender. in a sense, I'VE become less attractive.
i'm having some doubts about the diet.
i don't think i was eating enough. but the problem is i didn't feeling like eating ever. i was paranoid that an excess of munch food would make me break out. i was so susceptible to acne in my teens and in my early twenties. on the diet, i was depressed and sluggish all the time. drinking juice, even with a ton of olive oil, i was fuzzy all day, irritable, and exhausted at work. and my job is not very demanding.
but something happened last week. i was pretty good for a while. not super strict like some of the people here. i'd have very few break outs; a zit here and there. nothing major, but i'm 28 and i look like a teenager (my main problem is huge clogged pores on and around my nose)
there was some fried chicken in the fridge, and i started pigging out. i remember thinking to myself "f@@# it! i'm too old for acne!!"
i felt immediately better. a little full, but more energy.
since then, i've been pigging out almost every meal. i know it's not good for me. i've gained like 7 pounds in ten days. i 've only had one new pimple, which is the same as on the wai diet. but i feel totally energized, unfortunately with a growing gut. there's gotta be some sort of healthy medium.
i'm half awake right now, so i'm sort of babbling. maybe we need to eat this crap to survive in this artificial world. the fruits were good enough to get us out of the jungles. and in a utopian society where we're not sitting in cubes all day and staring at computers, maybe a fruit diet would be perfect. but maybe an unnatural diet is what's needed in this unnatural world. that we're not supposed to live a lot longer. imagined if everyone lived a lot longer. chaos.
i'm starting to thinking all the "evils" of this world are done for some greater good- namely population control. it helps me sleep better at night.
i've become like a paranoid freak, looking for the propaganda in all media, not being able to enjoy anything. maybe we just need to surrender to the commercialism and the sitcoms and all the bs. like that movie the matrix.
ok i need sleep.
keep eating fruits, guys. i'll get back on the horse in a few days. just got a new juicer. it's awesome.

bc it was there.
it didn't stop with the chicken. hot dogs, ribs, enchiladas, eggs, bacon, sausage, hamburgers..
i only sort of missed the taste. i missed more of the freedom. i was eating wai style out of fear. not bc it necessarily made the most sense, bc it doesn't.
i also missed having energy. i know i probably wasn't eating enough fruit per day; but that's just it. i didn't want to eat anymore after a while.

I think the diet makes perfect sense when you follow the 'rules' (and preferably 100%).
Doing something out of fear never works, because you're not convinced you're doing the right thing. You will consciously or unconsciously try to prove it wrong, and in the end that will always succeed, because that is what you want.

Thomas,
I have definatley noticed this as well. When I look at a man now, I see thier diet errors in thier eyes and skin. Silly I know. I'm finding it harder to find a man attractive, expecially my age. I still look like I'm 25 and they all look 45-50!!! I'm 36. I'm dating a man that is three years younger and everyone thinks he is a lot older than me!! Acutally, I look at everyone this way. When I see a woman/man overweight and dull ugly skin, I want to tell her about why she looks that way. Of course I don't because no one really wants to hear it. People always give me compliments, but when they ask how I do it, they say "I could never do that!" End of conversation. It also seems that people are aging faster these days. What a shame. Sometimes I wish I didn't know any better but deep down I am glad that I do.
