I guess then vegetarians aren't obese unless they eat a lot of seeds. Funny story, I was ~60lbs overweight as a vegetarian who maybe ate peanut butter a couple of times per month. The problem was the quantity of starch, pasta and sweets and lack of variety. Swapping them for fruits, vegetables and nuts and reducing my portion sizes, I lost all 60 in about a year and have kept it off for about 11 years. Quality of your diet, portion size and patience is how you manage your diet. There are no silver bullets -- only lead ones.
