I pay some attention to what I eat, but I'm definitely not counting the amount of macro-nutrients or micro-nutritions I'm eating to make sure I'll get enough of everything. I do make sure to eat a lot of green vegetables, lots of beans/lentils, some legumes, and using several different protein-sources for every meal. (And B12 supplements of course). Common sense really.

Didn't know about the B12 issue for vegetarians. Just googled it - interesting.

I was thinking about fat vegetarians and it struck me that the highest concentration is probably in middle class communities in large parts of India, where religion makes vegetarianism mainstream and there also seems to be high social respect, even encouragement, for plumpness (I am aware that I am at risk of racial stereotyping here, but I think that's objectively quite accurate.). I also guess that some of the counter-culture strongholds of the US (Vermont, Oregon, northern California, etc) have their fair share too ... decades of munchies equals a lot of cake.

This is true of many third world diets. Most being very high in starch (rice/maize et al) and short on protein; if not entirely vegetarian.

I had a vegetarian colleague who,went to the docs and said "I eat healthily whole grains, no meat and lots of vegetables but I can't seem to lose weight . He said try putting less in your mouth love.

Wot Matt said. I've visited India a few times and my family go there regularly. People are either stick thin or obviously overweight (generalisation sure, but accurate). Masses of starch and a love of dairy. Indian sweets are fucking delicious btw. Has anybody ever tried this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barfi - Delicious!!

I read an article somewhere about Asians needing a different BMI scale (I know,  I know)  because they could be dangerously obese without breaching the normal limits.

On the rigs in Malaysia,  having a wobbly pot belly was all the rage! It's all sugar and rice - I put on weight every trip out there and was always craving food...
