In other words raw saturated fat-intake  is fine but not cooked saturated fat-intake. And, raw, aged saturated fat-intake is the best of all, possibly even reducing the negative effects of a cooked diet, to some extent.

Carbs reduce the action of vitamin D, while fats increase it.

I have noticed that women who wear any makeup at all, get to a point where they have to wear it because the faces get so badly pock-marked.

being pretty will only get you so far

One other point is that using make-up ages your face. I always remember a middle-aged woman writing in to the Daily Telegraph, boasting about how she looked much younger as she hadn't damaged her skin like most of her female contemporaries by using make-up and exfoliating etc.

Do you girls like a man who wears make-up?  I used to wear it all the time back in highschool....

Black sesame seeds are nice but I'm not sure about eating lots of them. If my meory serves they have lots of calcium...

I read a book recently by Frederic Patenaude, who is a raw vegan who does 80/10/10 and says to be doing it extremely successfully based on a few changes he had to make due to a very failing of health. I found it useful for many tips, although my diet is much different than his. It was also a neat story to read about his involvement in the California raw food movement (he met many of the raw "guru's").

Among some of his suggestions were not to snack on fruit all day like most people were doing. He says you need to cram in enough fruit calories in 2 meals, and then have something like a big salad with avocado or a few nuts or something like that. The key is to eat enough fruit (and enough greens!) Most people don't, and think they do.

He claims that the benefits of this diet don't come from the raw foods. They help, but the main benefit comes from abstaining from cooked foods, and unnatural, harmful foods. I agree with many of his ideas, but I personally don't think a diet of mostly just fruit is healthy (and would be very unsatisfying). It has deficiencies unless you supplement.

Another recommendation was to brush 3 times a day, for a total of about 10 minutes, very gently. In his younger days he ended up destroying his teeth (basically 40 fillings within 5 or 6 years). Now that he does what he does, he has no problems with his teeth.

He started at about 18 I believe, and had always been very underweight until he made changes to the diet which a lot of the raw vegan guru's disagreed with (their advice was never working for anybody in the long term). Nowadays he's 34 I believe, and looks healthy and youthful. He's a regular weight now, and from what I've seen from him looks toned.

He's not 100% strict, preferring to eat cooked food a few times a week in the form of lightly steamed vegetables or cooked potatoes, claiming that some cooked food isn't nearly as bad as others and that to be successful in the long term you gotta give yourself some breaks like these.

I think he'll actually continue to do very well on this diet, simply because he's careful to get everything and enough of what he needs. Big green smoothies are an important and easy way he gets nutrients and calories.

Testimonials by people claiming to have adopted his techniques and tips report an 80/10/10 very much a success whereas before they only had a declining of health.
