| Thanks DD and John, I suspect that the strict vegetarian diet does not lead to obesity and that for the vast majority of the population, it is the refined carbs (most likely culprit being HFCS) that are the issue. I also suspect that some/many of us are more reactive to carbohydrates in terms of weight gain and need to be more vigilant as a result. I guess in this thread I am most interested if there are any currently or previously overweight vegetarians who have gone through the "induction" phase of a very low carb regime and if so what did they eat?
