My Co-Worker Is A Fat Vegan

How the fuck does that even happen?

I can see a fat vegetarian but a vegan?

Vegans can eat carbs. Carbs are VERY calorie-heavy. Bread, pasta, rice, donuts, etc.

Yea, carbs. This thread is dead.

Hey Ossoff, stop posting about me on Datalounge! We've got work to do!

Vegan smoothies and vegan brownies can pack it on.

Lizzo is vegan. Thread closed.

But vegans don't eat milk or butter which limits carbs like bread or potatoes because they aren't good alone.

They also don't eat eggs, so most desserts are out. No honey either.

R6 ever heard of soy milk, almond milk?

R6 You don't need honey when you have sugar. Honey is basically glorified sugar (with a slight taste) stolen from bees.

My sister-in-law became vegan while trying to lose weight. She's become more obese since then. Lots of Oreos and peanut butter.

R10 Studies have found that vegetarians are on average the least weight.

Probably binges on Oreos on the DL.

This is a silly thread. Nothing about being vegan means you can't eat like a pig and still be fat.

Sugar is vegan. R13 is fat.

R15 No, they don't have to cheat to be fat at all - it's very easy to be fat and vegan. I forgot to mention oil. Oil is also high calorie and very, very tasty when paired with carbs. Oil that comes from sunflowers, rapeseed, olives, etc.

The fat vegans I know have all been very into processed foods, especially potato chips.

Even 'chicken flavor' ramen noodles are vegan.

A distant relation is a fat vegan along with his fat young son who has had veganism forced on him by his fat ass father. He will probably become a serial killer.

There's nothing worse than a sanctimonious, aggressively preachy vegan who is also a fat pig. But it's also the karma that they deserve.

Sugar + tons of calories from eating too much due to hunger cravings caused by sugar.

yep r16. It's oily foods. Nuts and seeds are hugely calorific.

Sometimes vegans and vegetarians don't include enough protein in their diets. Years ago some friends, decided to adopt a vegetarian diet for health reasons. They both exercised and were trim people. A few months into it, they noticed they were getting flabby without weight gain. Easily fixed by adding tofu, setan, and legumes. A person deprived of protein and eating crap like chips and oreos? Tub 'o lard.

Seriously doubt it is nuts or oils or fats - they satiate - not make you fat or Atkins wouldn't work. Excess sugar/carbs - yes! Don't for excess booze. That shit will make you fat - vegan or not.

Eating lots of nuts. Also, vegan junk food is everywhere these days.

Nuts do not make you fat.

In true Datalounge fashion, vegans are bashed as intolerant and controlling without saying a words I am not vegan. However, a coworker just lost 25 pounds in two months on a vegan diet - leading an office full of doughy white men to try going vegan a few days a week.

Nothing tastes better than being thin, bitches.

In many instances 'vegan' doesn't mean the person is giving up diary or junk foods.

I know lots of people who basically gave up meat and poultry yet they continue to consume eggs, milk, butter, carbs, cake, cookies, ice cream etc. AS long as their diet doesn't include meat and poultry they call themselves vegans, it's a joke!

These idiots think because they've stoped eating meat and poultry, they are vegans. True vegans don't eat diary or any kind of junk food.

R29 I knew "vegetarians" who claimed that eating bacon was okay because bacon was a "seasoning" so didn't count as a meat. I also knew vegetarians who ate fish.

Don't forget the fat-fest that is the meatless burger. Most "meatless" meat is pure fat and carbs.

Beyond Meat will make anyone fat.

Vegans typically are hyper-aware of and obsessed with food. That often causes disordered eating.

Nuts, Nut butters, beans, avocados, Crisco, Oils, Sugars and syrups, alcohol, grains, potatoes are all permitted in the vegan diet.

Isn’t Alec Baldwin a vegan?

Al Sharpton before he became a vegan.
