Are there any obese vegetarians?!
Answers: Cows.
Yup! Unfortunately, I am one!
I know two. They eat lots of junk food and pastas and drink lots of sugary drinks
I don't know of any. But you can become obese, even if you are a vegetarian... There is all kinds of sweets, pasta and similar things that can make you fat... Not only meat...
Yes there are I know of at least 3, Its because of their calorie intake the same as anyone else
Ever seen a gorilla?
Yes, for sure!
Some vegetarian diets (like the Punjabi/Indian) diet are high in fat content.
And if you eat too much cheese...
a vegetarian diet is generally healthy but not all veggies stick to it. i know someone who lives on chips, crisps and chocolate. she is obese.
yes, i've met one.
but only one.
The majority seem of average weight and build.
I was one.. weighed 206 lbs, when my healthy range is 106-139..had been vegetarian 16 years when I weighed 206
I am now 132, though.
too much junk food, pasta, breads, etc..
It makes no difference if you are vegetarian,vegan or the average meat eater there will always be some that are obese
Of course. Anyone not eatting a balance diet & putting in more calories than out put(exercise) will be obese or at least fatter than they should be.
A you forgetting all those tastey pastries, junk food etc that are not animal based?
Slainté (to your health)
of course! there are junk food junkies, and people who eat more calories than they burn off, in every dietary category. even vegans can get fat if they don't eat right.
yes, lots! i know several vegetarians who have really bad diets. they never eat vegetables and instead just gorge on cheese all the time! terrible behaviour. it just won't do, i tell you.
Yes, it's not what you eat, it's how much. More than is needed gets stored.
Of course, and that is because there is no meat in a Krispy Kreme doughnut, and there is no meat in beer!
Of course. Omni's don't corner the market on cake and cookies, potato chips, donuts, soda, processed foods or anything like that.
Shelly---congratulations....keep up the good work :-)
yes, my cousin is a vegetarian who eats very healthy foods, she just has a slow metabolism and likes to snack a lot. but she never eats junk food, so it kind of makes me wonder why she is overweight! I believe it has something to with genetics or something with her digestive system is messed up. not necessarily her diet. anyone can become obese or overweight though.
Sure. Aside from poor eating habits, not leading an active lifestyle, or any other of a number of reasons people can become obese; there are a great many metabolic disorders and diseases that cause obesity. Vegetarians aren't excluded from these things just as meat-eaters aren't. Junk food can make you fat and it really doesn't descrimiate based on meat prefrence.
cheese is the veggies downfall quite a lot of them are quite unhealthy and have far too much saturated fat so i guess the answer is yes.
As Erma Bombeck so aptly put it, the cheetah eats nothing but meat and is very lean. The hippo is a vegetarian...!
I am a vegetarian/vegan and I struggle with my weight (not obese, though!!) Even if you are a vegetarian or vegan, you still need to make healthy choices. I always say, there's no meat in potato chips! Besides that, I think the only way to keep your weight in a healthy range for meat eaters and non meat eaters is to consume an appropriate amount of calories for your body type, make healthy food choices, and exercise.
anybody can be obese. it's not limited to specific people. :P
how the heck can you be obese and be a vegetarian, wow i cant even imagine how you would look if you weren't .....wow...creepy
Yes I am one cause I have an addiction to perogies and also to icecream! I'm also a great cook. When I can afford it I'll open up a
Veggie Corner Cafe! right now rents are far too high!
Yes. Just like there are thin omnivores. Contrary to popular belief we don't eat just vegetables.

Yes there are... sadly.
Yes. I know some overweight vegetarians. Too many starches and empty carbs can lead to weight gain in anyone. Some people just gain weight quickly no matter what their diet, just as some can eat whatever they want and stay thin.
Yes. Vegetarians can eat junk food too you know! They need to watch what they are putting in their bodies as much as anyone else.
yea
