Why are vegetarians always so slender?!
Vegetarians always seem to be thin or fit!. I've never met a slightly overweight or obese vegetarian!. Why is this!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I've met some really fat vegetarians!. How long they've been vegetarian, I don't know, but it's possible!. I'll bet it's pretty easy -- just don't exercise and eat lots of cheese, butter, junk food, and etc!.
But, most vegetarians might also be more aware of general ingredients such as chemical additives, food colouring, msg, and all that junk -- I mean, they generally eat pretty healthy!. So, if you eat generally healthy, your body will go to it's optimum weight!. Look at the native people all over the world that generally live they way they've lived for the last 1000 years!. They are not fat, nor too thin, they are just right!. That's what happens when you eat properly etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

actually, my dad is a vedgaterian, and he's kinda plumpish!.
anyway, it's cuz lots of meat has fat in it, and also that vedgitarians normally don't eat fatty food, and like lots of fruit and vedgitablesWww@FoodAQ@Com

cause there a low calories in vegies and fruit compared to the procesed food people eat!. we add lots of unheathy stuff 2 our food without knowing it!Www@FoodAQ@Com
There isn't a lot of fat in vegetables!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Not true!. My parents are veg and they're huge!.
Everyone's excuse: less fat from not eating meat!. Those who choose to be veg tend to be more health conscious to begin with and will fit into the healthy lifestyle anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I actually have known some slightly overweight ones!. I'd say because animal meat has a lot of fat and calories (besides lean meat) and usually if you're vegetarian you are forced to search for other ways to get protein and vitamins which are generally healthy!. I would think it would be the opposite because if I couldn't eat meat I'd have pasta and pizza every day haha! But yea I'd say it probably just makes them more conscious of what they eatWww@FoodAQ@Com
They are probably fitness buffs who decided to go the extra mile and change their diet dramatically as well!. Being a vegetarian doesn't necessarily make you lose weight, it just helps you to control your diet, which will allow you to make better decisions on what to eat!.
Plus, half the time you'll end up starving because you can't find anything to eat!. Haha!.
I've been a vegetarian for a while now, and I haven't gained or lost a single pound!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Typically a vegetarian diet has less fat (way less saturated fat) and more fiber!. Food with high fiber aids in digestion and gives you a filling of fullness!.
(I became a vegetarian six months ago!. I am in the best shape of my life!. I finally lost that last ten months after two years of trying!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

IDK but my high school biology teacher was vegetarian and one enormous woman!
Generally though it's because veggies are low in calories and fat in comparison to meats!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I can't comment on your experience really, because I've met plenty of plump vegetarians!. Oils come from vegetables, and cheese and dairy might also be allowed on their list of foods, since they're not meat, and those are all very fattening!. So are avocados and nuts, for example!.
If there is a reason for the vegetarians you know being thin, it could just be that they're more health conscious, so watch their fat and calorie intake in addition to being vegetarian, and make sure to take enough exercise!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's because they have an unhealthy diet and they are slowly dying, to make a long story short!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Not all are, but a Vegetarian life style can be very healthy and low in calories!. The main reason is meat contains lots of saturated fats!. Of course the more vegetables, salads and fruits you eat the healthier and fuller you become, leaving little space for high calorie items!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
when I'm on diet i eat lots of meat and protein , its the best way of losing weight and keeping strong and healthy ( also there are some veggies who are fat ) you just have to avoid eating chocolates and fats ( in meats ) to stay fit !.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's not true-I had a weight problem before I quit eating meat and have not lost any weight-but my cholesterol and triglycerides have dropped even lower than they were!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have - I don't understand why pple day that all the time!.!.!.!.I know a lot of veg's who are big!.!.!.!.its prob bc they eat a lot of junk food too or stuffWww@FoodAQ@Com
they are out there, I know a few that are overweightWww@FoodAQ@Com
Its because they are so health conscious!. I am the exception to the rule I am a cuddly vegan, (this is entirely on purpose I do not like being skinny - makes me look odd, I was made for curves)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I know some fat vegetarians!.!.!.
That's just a stereotype!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarians are not always so slender!. We are statistically more likely, as a group, to maintain a healthy body weight and are statistically less likely, as a group, to be obese!. But statistics don't say anything about individuals and there are certainly overweight vegetarian individuals!. I myself am on the high end of the healthy BMI range!. My vegetarian boss is about 40-50 pounds overweight (dude eats a LOT and has a penchant for heavy, creamy sauces!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com
Not always!. I could stand to lose some weight; I've always been pretty plump!. I know several vegetarians and vegans who are by no means slender!.
But hey, if anyone worries about getting enough to eat, I can stand my size 14 bod in front of them and ask if I look like I have trouble getting enough to eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They lack the neccesary protein that promotes muscle mass and/or body fat!. If you pay close attention most vegetarians are not very strong, have actually more body fat than a person who eats meat and also has more dental problems because our teeth are designed for ripping and tearing not mainly for grinding like what is required when you eat vegetables!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
