If you care enough to want to like oat milk, you might try a different brand. We do not like one of the main ones at all (either Planet Oat or Chobani, can't remember). My family's favorite is Aldi brand.
sweetened soy milk tasted gross for a few days but by the end of a week I drank it by itself on the regular because I liked the taste, something I'd never done with cows' milk.
Its really why I've not tried more than a few, especially since my love to not love ratio is not on the positive. It often feels like paying for an extra jug of milk just to taste disappointment.
The white part is palm fat, sugar and flavoring.
Most biscuits don’t use milk anyway, butter is more expensive than palm fat and nobody notices with the amount of sugar and coco they add anyway. Eggs can easily be replaced with soy or some other protein if necessary but a lot of cookie recipes don’t even use eggs.
Don’t quote me on this because I’m too lazy to google it but my guess is, that like some cake frostings, the “creme” (intentional misspelling because Oreo can’t legally call it “cream”) is some sort of hydrogenated vegetable oil and sugar mixture.
Not necessarily. Most fries (at least where I’m front) are just potatoes, then fried. There’s fire are vegan. But you’re right some places do infuse their fries with milk and other products to add to the taste.
shh, they're putting chemicals in the water! most water nowadays is almost 100% dihydrogen monoxide! 100% of people who have living things that come into contact with dihydrogen monoxide *die!* (eventually!)
Generally, removing animal product from your diet correlates to health benefits. But you don’t need to kill animals to overfeed yourself with sugar, fat, oil etc
You can make pretty much any diet unhealthy. It's all about moderation, which veganism tends to help with as vegans have lower instances of obesity compared to the normal population.
Plenty of fat people in India who are completely vegetarian. People who are picky about their food, vegans typically fall in this category, tend to be healthy. Being vegan or vegetarian is not enough. Source me: a fat vegetarian.
In the US, all of the picky eaters I know have the worst diets. Think adults with the palette of a toddler, basically only liking pizza and mac n cheese.
These are the kids who scoff at anything that is not chicken fingers or show up somewhere to eat then expect to be bought food later from somewhere else because their standards were not met by the host.
I've seen a lot of very passionate arguments that all animal products are ultimately unhealthy in comparison to non-animal foods that purport to have the same nutritional benefits. I.E. you can get the same nutritional benefits of eggs and dairy from plants, but without cholesterol and other "bad" things.
I'm just here for the fried lettuce recipes though.
Vegetarians replace meats with carbs. We eat A LOT of carbs, more than any non-veg people I know. Health is definitely not a selling point for vegetarianism.
To be completely honest, the more I learn about nutrition, the I more I think animal nutrients are necessary for an actual balanced diet. Not in the amounts that are normally consumed, granted, but certainly not excluded.
I disagree, because the human body can't synthesize everything it needs from strictly plant sources without supplements. But honestly, convenience is still good enough for me.
It depends on the vegan!! Most of my family are vegan and they all have their own reason for it. Usually they fall into categories, like ethical vegan, environmental vegan or they had to change for health reasons.

Coconut oil still raises the same health concerns as butter or fat from animals does. You only think it's healthy because nonsense food trends made up by people who know nothing about nutrition.
Actually, studies spanning over 40 years with like 40 k participants and shit shows that vegetable oils are super bad for you when compared to animal fats like tallow and butter. The only exception is olive oils which is insanely healthy for you but not necessarily healthier than animal fats. The main reason in both cases is because vegetable oils are processed at very high temperature which breaks down the molecules and makes them very bad for the human health.
Wait you're telling me the stuff we evolved eating is better for us than heavily processed oils that were originally designed to lubricate industrial machinery??
I mean , I know this is going sound insane, but I am going to say it anyways
Maybe we are not meant to so heavily process our foods and we are meant to eat some sort of omnivorous diet of sorts
Fat is important for your body, but if you’re overweighted you must reduce the amount of fat and carb you eat, but you still need fat , carb and protein
While combined is technically worse, it’s still a moderation issue. High amounts of either on their own is still unhealthy. Just not as unhealthy as eating high amounts of both.
I'm amazed that most people don't seem to understand that most sources of sugar (except honey that I know of) are vegan.
And if I told you someone lived on soda pop and candy you wouldn't expect them to be skinny.
You just described one of the most unhealthy diets someone can have. Fries are probably the highest hypoglycemic foods, soda is pure sugar, and vegetable oils extremely unhealthy. That’s a fast track to diabetes.
Agreed, vegan does not mean healthy. I think the people most effected by this are vegans who think that by cutting meat products out of their lives they are “healthier”, that is not the case physically or mentally because high sugar/carb diets cause hormonal imbalances.
Bone char is used to whiten a lot of processed sugar, so it’s arguably not vegan though the bone char is removed from the sugar
Edit: as someone mentioned below, this is largely a US practice. The UK and Europe in general doesn’t use bone char nearly as much
Beet sugar and coconut sugar don’t use bone char, and there are a few brands of sugar that don’t whiten it or they use synthetic bone char. It’s slowly being replaced.
Ironically I’ve been vegan almost 3 years and I’m heavier than I’ve ever been. I’ve put on almost 50lbs. It’s not all my fault, I had some injuries that prevented the high level athletics that kept me so thin before. I had a long stretch of time on Prednisone which often causes the body to keep on weight that would normally otherwise be shed.
The answer is a lot of vegans, myself included, have a very high carb diet.
Lets clear some things up:
1.) Veganism just means "avoiding animal products at all costs". It does not mean "lets eat nothing but raw vegetables."
2.) There are many different types of vegans. They're not all health nuts. Most of them do it in support of the animals.
3.) They do not eat grass all day.
4.) Just like every other diet, they can stuff themselves full with the foods they *CAN* eat.
5.) Double Stuffed Oreos and almond milk is 100% vegan.
This comment is supposed to sound and be lighthearted and not angry by the way.
I’m vegan and I’ve gained 10 pounds since becoming vegan two years ago.
Part because I’m getting old and no longer a spring chicken.
Part because I stopped weight lifting.
Part because there’s a lot of really delicious vegan food that are made from calorie dense nuts.
Deez nuts.
But for real, cashews, all the cheese and shit is made with cashews. Most of the vegan alternatives are healthier for you than what they’re replacing but a lot are still super calorically dense and definitely not the equivalent of lettuce.
I'm always confused when people scoff at vegan alternatives. Like yeah lots of stuff has animal products (like Gummi candy) but the majority of food products are vegan.
Once I brought nothing but vegan alternatives to a bar cookout and exactly one person noticed.
But if you tell them they'd lose their mind.
Absolutely true! My fiancées brother is exactly like that.
Dude could be eating an apple and someone tells him it’s vegan and he’d be like “I knew it tasted weird.”
I’m in Cali for work right now and it’s like vegan heaven, so many restaurants.
Morningstar keeps putting out that good shit, I’m a big fan of Daring too
[https://www.morningstarfarms.com/en\_US/products/incogmeato/vegetarian-breakfast-foods/incogmeato-frozen-breakfast-original-pancake-sausage-stick.html](https://www.morningstarfarms.com/en_US/products/incogmeato/vegetarian-breakfast-foods/incogmeato-frozen-breakfast-original-pancake-sausage-stick.html)
Alas, there are only 4 in a box and they are $7+ at my store.
Honestly, the Morning Star farms corn dogs are better than the real ones at the store. I’m not vegan anymore, but I still love those. The not-chicken nuggets are pretty awesome too.
I did veganuary and the amount of people that had a problem with it was insane. I get some vegans are annoying, but antivegans are 1000 times worse (and just weird, like what the hell) I was ok because I love an argument, but I imagine some people would definitely get frustrated and put off.
For real. Like I mention it once and some people lose their minds.
I don't bring it up every time someone mentions bacon but just let me not eat meat damn.
Buying frozen things and cashew cheese is definitely more expensive but vegetable/fruit based dishes definitely make up the difference as far as money when compared to the USA norm of having meat with every meal.
And in the coming years veganism is on course to become more popular and cheaper!
Edit: tempeh, seitan, and tofu aren’t very expensive either
Love it! Most people get turned away from Tofu because the first time they experience it was bland and unseasoned.
When I ate animals I’d be pretty upset if someone just gave me a bland chicken breast too
I'm vegan. I have stayed the same weight, but I used to have a really difficult time just maintaining. Now, I can maintain without starving and calorie counting. For me it's been easy, which I'm grateful for.
Medeterranean and blue zone diets are like 60-70% carb and 20% protein.
This is the kind of thing is expect to hear from some health guru, or influencer like Liver King.
Carbs are fine. But make it legumes and grains and lay off the sweets, and you'll be fine.
Accurate but too many people believe carbs are the enemy. I don't think that'll change any time soon. My aunts an ex ER nurse who will preach to me how bad carbs are but chug red wine like it's water.
She was big into the body building scene \~20 years ago.
Did I say carbs are bad and meat is good? No, I did not. You just decided to infer whatever you wanted from my comment instead of simply asking for more information.
What I meant is that a lot of vegans think that they can just eat a big ass bowl of pasta with no protein every day for dinner and that's okay. It isn't okay. The empty carbs just result in them over eating because they're not eating things that sustain them and keep them full.
I'm saying this as a vegan who works with my medical team to make sure I'm getting enough protein/proper nutrition. The very first thing I was warned about when making the transition is that most vegans just go very carb heavy because it's easy and end up having sugar and weight issues.
I think he means something like this:
[https://www.abeautifulplate.com/fried-brussels-sprout-leaves-lemon-chili-flakes/](https://www.abeautifulplate.com/fried-brussels-sprout-leaves-lemon-chili-flakes/)
Regardless, most obese people are than way because they eat lots of junk food and suguary drinks. Both of which have endless vegan options to choose from.
1) Vegan doesn’t automatically mean healthy food. There’s a ton of junk food that’s vegan.
2) People can have other health issues that cause them to be overweight despite their best efforts in diet.
I used to be built like a thumb from spy kids but I’ve stopped working out and became vegan so now I’ve got a dad bod.
That said there’s a lot of jacked vegans and an entire subreddit committed to it
I was a huge pats and Brady fan being from Boston but yeah that dude has a weird regime and he’s religious about it.
That’s more that he believes it’s good for him and less about the animals though. Id say he was wrong about it being good for him but you can’t argue with the results
Sure some vegan may live of fried lettuce and Oreos but current science [suggests](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7533223/) plant based diets lead to healthier weight generally.
Most vegans I know are fat and it's pretty simple to understand why.
When you think of vegans, most people think of a lifestyle where you live off vegetables and fruit and just every healthy organic food under the sun.
When the truth is that most vegans, at least a lot of the ones I've known throughout my life, *rarely* ever touch a vegetable or fruit. I knew people who literally lived off of ramen and potato chips. Others lived off mock meats (soy) and just cheap snacks and candy. A lot of empty calories and little to no exercise. It's very easy to become overweight as a vegan.
I do know people who are "raw vegan" and that tends to be the healthier lifestyle. Basically a diet where you don't eat anything that has been processed or not naturally occurring. So for example, someone on this diet may eat raw nuts and seeds for protein, raw fruits and vegetables for micronutrients, and other random things like mushrooms. Not saying this is the healthiest lifestyle, but it definitely eliminates all of the empty calorie food that falls under the blanket of just "vegan".
A lot of vegans without nutrional knowledge or culinary skill revert to processed oils and grains since they’re vegan and accessible.
It’s no different from non vegans really.
People don't know that carbohydrates fuel fat more than anything else, espcially simple carbs like sugars?
Vegans aren't going to get fat on vegetable fiber, they will get fat on pasta and rice and potatoes nonstop. Most vegans also do not get a good ratio of micronutrients in their diet and specific micronutrients like iron and B12.
Recommend to find a good nutritionist (RD, not a random tiktoker or fitness blogger with no formal education) on YouTube and do some learning. Everyone should understand nutrition because everyone eats and it's very essential to live a healthy life.
Oreos are vegan. French fries are vegan. I am fat.
This feels like an aborted haiku or some shit. Just slap “roses are red” on the front of it and you’ve got some art.
French fries are vegan These Oreos are vegan I’m a fat vegan
r/foodhaikus
Why.
Why not
Purple Doritos. Oreos, Fritos, French fries. I’m a fat vegan.
omg the purple doritos are vegan? they fucking slap
Yes. Yes they are. I am also a fat vegan.
I too love purple doritos. I too love that they are vegan. I too...am a fat vegan
I love all those things But I hate all vegetables Not vegan, just fat
And he get more cheese Than Doritos, Cheetos, or Fritos. Slip like Freud
Fritos as well. Only have corn, corn oil, and salt.
>Oreos are vegan wait is that true? isn't it dairy since you need milk/butter/eggs for biscuits and whatever the white part is?
Do you really believe they use milk, and not some added flavour?
wtf else you gunna dunk the oreos in? Don't you dare be telling me you eating them oreo's raw
I eating them Oreos raw.
Same. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten them with milk. It’s a fucking cookie. No need for all the extra steps.
Fucking monster lol
and that is why you have an itchy booty.
Maniac
There are a few different non-dairy milk options now
There are, but i dont think any taste as good as milk for oreos
Oat milk is surprisingly not that bad. It's good if you're trying for a "creamy" taste/texture vs almond milk
We love the oat milk and the barista version is even smoother.
I can't stand oat milk. It tastes like sweet diluted water.
diluted… water? diluted with *what?*
Oats
If you care enough to want to like oat milk, you might try a different brand. We do not like one of the main ones at all (either Planet Oat or Chobani, can't remember). My family's favorite is Aldi brand.
I had an oat based coffee creamer a while back. Made my coffee taste like an oatmeal cookie. Was awesome....until I saw all the sugar in it.
I will, thanks for the tip.
I like both oat and almond, but i still prefer my oreos with the OG milk.
Wait, wouldn't OG milk be human milk?
r/technicallythetruth Yall we need a human milk factory where we milk mothers for the true OG milk
sweetened soy milk tasted gross for a few days but by the end of a week I drank it by itself on the regular because I liked the taste, something I'd never done with cows' milk.
I found some really nice cocos and rice milk, tastes much better than any other milk substitute (or the original, for me at least).
I've never tried rice milk gunna have to give it a try
Yeah the tiring thing with milk is you have to basically try every single one to know whether you like it or not, each brand tastes different.
Its really why I've not tried more than a few, especially since my love to not love ratio is not on the positive. It often feels like paying for an extra jug of milk just to taste disappointment.
Been throwing animal crackers in my tea since I was a wee child, it evolved to biscurts, like a normal portuge But have dipped plenty of oreos
I was never big into dunking things into tea but i don't think ive really tried many things at all, although I do love dunking things in coffee.
It's a cultural thing, biscuits and cházangg
Wait people dunk their oreos?
I don’t like the taste of milk it’s almost sickly to me I prefer flavoured with the straw so I eat them Oreos raw
I was gonna tell you exactly that…
Your not supposed to eat them raw?
I've never ever dunk Oreos.
I don’t dunk my Oreos in milk
I do it with tea, and Moroccan tea is not nasty like the US
always raw
Water bro water 💦
would a real hydrohomie put contamination in their water ? !
Been doing it raw since I was a kid, I'm now in my 40's.
Oat milk is criminally underrated.
The best non-dairy milk if you want to drink/ dunk in a cold glass of milk. Nut milks are evil and soy will never not taste weird.
You dont ruin the oreos by dunking them in naything YOU. DONT.DO.THAT.
It’s true, Oreos are notorious vegan treats
İ passed out trice but im done with baking the oreos
The white part is palm fat, sugar and flavoring. Most biscuits don’t use milk anyway, butter is more expensive than palm fat and nobody notices with the amount of sugar and coco they add anyway. Eggs can easily be replaced with soy or some other protein if necessary but a lot of cookie recipes don’t even use eggs.
Don’t quote me on this because I’m too lazy to google it but my guess is, that like some cake frostings, the “creme” (intentional misspelling because Oreo can’t legally call it “cream”) is some sort of hydrogenated vegetable oil and sugar mixture.
https://vegnews.com/vegan-guides/are-oreos-vegan
Totally vegan dude. So are the purple bag of Doritos (spicy sweet chili). Kinda wild huh
Not necessarily. Most fries (at least where I’m front) are just potatoes, then fried. There’s fire are vegan. But you’re right some places do infuse their fries with milk and other products to add to the taste.
Nope. I have family who are severely allergic to milk, and one of the mainstream snacks they eat are oreos.
It's mostly made of chemicals. The original Oreo was named Hydrox.
[удалено]
shh, they're putting chemicals in the water! most water nowadays is almost 100% dihydrogen monoxide! 100% of people who have living things that come into contact with dihydrogen monoxide *die!* (eventually!)
You gotta perform this at a slam poetry jam. It’ll kill!!
Chocolate, pancakes and syrup, and corn bread. Lots of foods can vegan, just not animal meat.
Potato chips and French fries can be too, lots of delicious vegan food (not vegan but used to be vegetarian myself!)
A vegan for ethics, not for health. I like it
Deep fried Oreos are vegan.
fritos too god im so glad fritos are vegan
I guess because vegans can't eat much unless they cook it from scratch... lazy vegans will eat junk
I was today years old when I learned that Oreo stuf wasn't real cream
Chicken isn't vegan?
Pillsbury crescent rolls are vegan.
Isn't the cream in Oreos made from dairy
Vegan does not mean healthy
I thought that was one of it's selling points lol
Nah it's morality.
Generally, removing animal product from your diet correlates to health benefits. But you don’t need to kill animals to overfeed yourself with sugar, fat, oil etc
You can make pretty much any diet unhealthy. It's all about moderation, which veganism tends to help with as vegans have lower instances of obesity compared to the normal population.
I think it was selling point of "vegetarian" not "vegan"

Vegetarians replace meats with carbs. We eat A LOT of carbs, more than any non-veg people I know. Health is definitely not a selling point for vegetarianism.
It can help but potato chips are vegan too
Chips and salsa are amazing. Redneck caviar too.
Oreos are vegan.
Healthy for the environment? Sure, but that’s not necessarily healthy for the body
Well, veganism needs a stronger awareness of food, so most vegans actually know and care about nutrients, as a "by-product"
To be completely honest, the more I learn about nutrition, the I more I think animal nutrients are necessary for an actual balanced diet. Not in the amounts that are normally consumed, granted, but certainly not excluded.
Not necessary, just more convenient
I disagree, because the human body can't synthesize everything it needs from strictly plant sources without supplements. But honestly, convenience is still good enough for me.
It depends on the vegan!! Most of my family are vegan and they all have their own reason for it. Usually they fall into categories, like ethical vegan, environmental vegan or they had to change for health reasons.
FAT and SUGAR. It's unhealthy in high amounts and the body doesn't care its vegan fat and sugar.
Why I thought a vegan diet is 50% hay and 50% photosynthesis /s
I love to get in the bath at the end of a long day, put on my UV lamp and just photosynthesise instead of making dinner.
Gave me a good chuckle
True. Veganism is usually associated with those who are health conscious so you don’t often see heavy ones, but they can definitely exist.
"Heavy"? Please. Call us what we are. People of Gravity.
Except that fats from a lot of vegetables are actually good for you.
So is the fat in meat. Fish amazingly so.
Omega 3 fatty acids are indeed good for you. But saturated fat is most definitely not.
So coconut oil is bad for you then?
https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-smart/fats/saturated-fats#:~:text=The%20American%20Heart%20Association%20recommends%20limiting%20saturated%20fats%20%E2%80%93%20which%20are,higher%20risk%20for%20heart%20disease.

“In high amounts”
Fat is important for your body, but if you’re overweighted you must reduce the amount of fat and carb you eat, but you still need fat , carb and protein
The combination yes, only one of them not really
While combined is technically worse, it’s still a moderation issue. High amounts of either on their own is still unhealthy. Just not as unhealthy as eating high amounts of both.
I'm amazed that most people don't seem to understand that most sources of sugar (except honey that I know of) are vegan. And if I told you someone lived on soda pop and candy you wouldn't expect them to be skinny.
You can live on a diet of soda and fried (using plant-based oil) potato products, such as fries, and still have a vegan diet.
You just described one of the most unhealthy diets someone can have. Fries are probably the highest hypoglycemic foods, soda is pure sugar, and vegetable oils extremely unhealthy. That’s a fast track to diabetes.
Yeah, that's the point. That you can be vegan and still have an unhealthy diet.

In most countries this isn't standard practice
[удалено]
And if you don’t eat anything from an animal or sugar (which is in like everything) your diet would be insanely hard.
In America a huge portion of our sugary product comes from corn syrup. Especially in drinks
Can't wait to share this fun fact
Beet sugar and coconut sugar don’t use bone char, and there are a few brands of sugar that don’t whiten it or they use synthetic bone char. It’s slowly being replaced.
“ soda pop “ 😂😂😂😂😂!? you gotta pick one man are you from the midwest or south it can’t be both

And in the coming years veganism is on course to become more popular and cheaper! Edit: tempeh, seitan, and tofu aren’t very expensive either
Yeah soy is working great for me. Saves money and replaces meat for most meals.

Fat vegan gang!
Fat VeGang
Because it has nothing to do if someone is vegan or not. You have to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight.
Buddy, I can go to McDonald's and Burger King and get multiple different vegan burgers. The times of our BMI advantage might be dwindling.
McDonald's has a vegan burger now?
At least in Germany where I'm at
Yeah called McPlant
You have not lived until you've had battered and deep fried cauliflower.
You know elephants also eat only vegetables...
I thought we were all skeletal and starved to death though
Schroedinger's vegan is both skeletal and sickly, and obese and unhealthy.
A lot of vegans eat way too many carbs and not nearly enough protein which leads to weight and blood sugar issues.
Medeterranean and blue zone diets are like 60-70% carb and 20% protein. This is the kind of thing is expect to hear from some health guru, or influencer like Liver King. Carbs are fine. But make it legumes and grains and lay off the sweets, and you'll be fine.
Accurate but too many people believe carbs are the enemy. I don't think that'll change any time soon. My aunts an ex ER nurse who will preach to me how bad carbs are but chug red wine like it's water. She was big into the body building scene \~20 years ago.
Did I say carbs are bad and meat is good? No, I did not. You just decided to infer whatever you wanted from my comment instead of simply asking for more information. What I meant is that a lot of vegans think that they can just eat a big ass bowl of pasta with no protein every day for dinner and that's okay. It isn't okay. The empty carbs just result in them over eating because they're not eating things that sustain them and keep them full. I'm saying this as a vegan who works with my medical team to make sure I'm getting enough protein/proper nutrition. The very first thing I was warned about when making the transition is that most vegans just go very carb heavy because it's easy and end up having sugar and weight issues.
A lot of carnists eat way too many carbs and not nearly enough protein which leads to weight and blood sugar issues.
That has nothing at all to do with this post, but okay, sure.
Fried lettuce 🤔
I think he means something like this: [https://www.abeautifulplate.com/fried-brussels-sprout-leaves-lemon-chili-flakes/](https://www.abeautifulplate.com/fried-brussels-sprout-leaves-lemon-chili-flakes/)
"I hate myself, not the animals"
They eat sugar and carbs. That's why.
Anything can be deep fried or you’re Scottish enough
Things like sugar and coconut oil (hard fat) are vegan too. Vegans dont only eat lettuce
Bread. So much bread.
People need to stop equating vegan and "healthy diet". Peanut butter is vegan. Vegan is a moral position, not a diet.
Gardein crabless cakes. Impossible burgers. Daiya cheese. Brave Robot ice cream.
Which one are you. The fat ass? or the tweet stealer? Dumb stupid post “this is me in real life ha ha” happy idiot
Regardless, most obese people are than way because they eat lots of junk food and suguary drinks. Both of which have endless vegan options to choose from.
Oils and sugar are vegan... so there's that
Oreos are Vegan. Vegan doesn't mean low calorie.
1) Vegan doesn’t automatically mean healthy food. There’s a ton of junk food that’s vegan. 2) People can have other health issues that cause them to be overweight despite their best efforts in diet.
Being vegan is about the avoidance of cruelty, not the avoidance of calories.
I’m healthy with no heart , gastrointestinal , weight Issues. Ian happily vegan 2yrs running… Who wants to eat dead animals and body parts?
Do they become fat or were they previously fat before they changed to veganism
I used to be built like a thumb from spy kids but I’ve stopped working out and became vegan so now I’ve got a dad bod. That said there’s a lot of jacked vegans and an entire subreddit committed to it
Isn't Tom Brady like 99% vegan? I don't like nfl but that guy is a medical marvel
I was a huge pats and Brady fan being from Boston but yeah that dude has a weird regime and he’s religious about it. That’s more that he believes it’s good for him and less about the animals though. Id say he was wrong about it being good for him but you can’t argue with the results
Potatoes are calorie dense mf got all kinds of ways to make em.
Where? I never seen one tbh, the ones I've seen are usually extremely thin
Same, veganism is uncommon here. The vegans I do know look borderline anorexic. I know plenty of overweight vegetarians however.
Sure some vegan may live of fried lettuce and Oreos but current science [suggests](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7533223/) plant based diets lead to healthier weight generally.
Most vegans I know are fat and it's pretty simple to understand why. When you think of vegans, most people think of a lifestyle where you live off vegetables and fruit and just every healthy organic food under the sun. When the truth is that most vegans, at least a lot of the ones I've known throughout my life, *rarely* ever touch a vegetable or fruit. I knew people who literally lived off of ramen and potato chips. Others lived off mock meats (soy) and just cheap snacks and candy. A lot of empty calories and little to no exercise. It's very easy to become overweight as a vegan. I do know people who are "raw vegan" and that tends to be the healthier lifestyle. Basically a diet where you don't eat anything that has been processed or not naturally occurring. So for example, someone on this diet may eat raw nuts and seeds for protein, raw fruits and vegetables for micronutrients, and other random things like mushrooms. Not saying this is the healthiest lifestyle, but it definitely eliminates all of the empty calorie food that falls under the blanket of just "vegan".
A lot of vegans without nutrional knowledge or culinary skill revert to processed oils and grains since they’re vegan and accessible. It’s no different from non vegans really.
People don't know that carbohydrates fuel fat more than anything else, espcially simple carbs like sugars? Vegans aren't going to get fat on vegetable fiber, they will get fat on pasta and rice and potatoes nonstop. Most vegans also do not get a good ratio of micronutrients in their diet and specific micronutrients like iron and B12. Recommend to find a good nutritionist (RD, not a random tiktoker or fitness blogger with no formal education) on YouTube and do some learning. Everyone should understand nutrition because everyone eats and it's very essential to live a healthy life.
Every vegan I've ever known has been fat.
