How do vegetarians get fat?

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

My friend recently got married. His wife is a vegetarian, the kind that gives you shit for eating "corpses" and insisted on the entire wedding dinner being vegitarian.

She's also really fucking fat. Like 250 pounds at least.

How the fuck does that happen?

 

[peggy18]

meat is taken out of the equation but that does not mean they dont eat a lot of junk

 

[The-Patriarchy]

Pizza and Beer - both vegetarian!

 

[Cheerlead-in-Chief]

Eating nothing but sugar and ignoring that it's not fucking vegan.
Example: Two bowls of sugary cereal with chocolate milk

Edit: For the question - LOTS OF FROZEN VEGETARIAN TASTELESS CRAP
2nd Edit: Was told today that protein helps absorb nutrients that would otherwise go straight to the bloodstream.

Meat doesn't make you fat.
Carbs make you fat. Vegans often gorge themselves on organic whole wheat bread and farmer's market fruit thinking that's a healthy lifestyle when they're really just consuming calories far in excess of what they need.

 

[Medulseur]

Say it with me everyone. Just because something is vegan/vegetarian it doesn't make it healthy.

with due respect, you friend is an idiot, hit him from me

 

[Wine em Dine em 69 em]

Too much carbs

I am assuming that there is cake at this wedding.

Vegetarians still consume fatty foods. Alcohol is fattening too. I've encountered a lot of fat vegetarians. They ate a lot of pasta dishes with cheese sauces, ice creams and cake washed down with sugary sodas and alcohols.

 

[HullDown]

Chips, alcohol, pasta, and cheese for vegetarians. Plus, with a badly planned out vegetarian diet, you'll also not have much energy during the day, and anyone will get fat if they stay in bed all day,

 

[Aunt Carol]

Oreos are vegan.

 

[Jennifer Lopez]

The most popular meat replacements are basically dense, wet bread so I’m more surprised when they’re not fat tbh.

[The Wicked Mitch]

Because they're consuming an unnatural and highly unfavorable diet high in sugar.

It would be one thing if they were vegetarian India style but 99% aren't. Not only are you getting swindled from a profit margin perspective when buying "meat replacements" but you also have to be an absolute mongoloid to believe a product containing 98% transmuted-rehydrolysed twice baked canola oil is healthier than an egg.

 

[Sarcastic sockpuppet]

1/ You can get fat first and become vegetarian after
2/ A vegetarian diet isn't that restrictive. Cheese, eggs, olives, nuts, vegetable oils in general, sugar, processed cereals, processed bread, candies, sodas, vine, beer are all vegetarian options and if you eat too much of it and don't work it off ...

The vegetarian lifestyle isn't more unnatural than the average american diet. The average veggies in the US isn't swapping good quality animal products for over processed fake meat, it's swapping overprocessed meat mixed with additives, soy, corn, canola oil and wheat for something pretty similar with just the small percentage of meat removed.

We can get a lot of great nutrients from meat and fish, but we certainly not evolved to eat it everyday like we do on average. It does clog our arteries to eat as much animal products as we are currently doing, not to mention the problems with overfishing and lifestock burping so much it's ruining the atmosphere.

Your fat vegetarians probably have an issue with portion control.

Because they are mindless trend followers who have no clue about nutrition and can't cook. So they go to the "natural" food store (which has 7/8 of its shelf space devoted to chips, trail mix, sugary snacks and pills, and maybe one pathetic aisle of overpriced organic produce) just because they're labeled "vegan." And they eat at taco bell because rice and bean burritos are healthier somehow than a hamburger. And they wouldn't know a vegetable if it walked up and bled on them.

You want to be vegetarian and healthy? Read Diet for a Small Planet and understand the whole concept of essential amino acids and how to combine foods to get the right proportions to sustain life.

Beans made from scratch are lovely (Instant Pot makes this fast and easy). Combine with rice, or corn, or tortillas and you have ample protein. Add in fresh made Pico de Gallo and guac maybe some grilled squash and onions, and that's one delicious and healthy meal.

Indian cuisine is healthy enough to sustain a billion vegetarians who eat rice, lentils and chapatti. And it's delicious too.

Too much starch will put excess weight on anyone. Combine that with too little protein and your body starts scavenging its own organs to create that famous vegan death pallor. It's possible (actually quite easy) to be malnourished and obese, because junk food fucks up your glucose metabolism and insulin levels, and vitamin deficiencies esp B12 which only comes from animal products screw up your metabolism even more.

But they're saving the planet, so there's that.

Every vegetarian I knew was constantly drinking large amounts of soda.

Say it with me everyone. Just because something is vegan/vegetarian it doesn't make it healthy.

The calories have been calculated wrong.

Carbs 4 calories per gram, fat 9 calories, protein 4 calories.

OG = 49 * 4 + 18 * 9 + 28 * 4 = 470 calories

Pod Food = 58 * 4 + 34 * 9 + 25 * 4 = 638 calories
