I'm a vegetarian. Yup, a rather plumb vegetarian at that. And one thing people keep asking me in NS is that, "If you're a vegetarian, how come you're still fat?"

Well... to answer all those questions once and for all, here's my simple :

4 Step Guide to Being a Fat Vegetarian

Step 1 : Eat at Vegetarian stores

Yes, its true. Eat at vegetarian stores in hawker centres or food courts often, and you're guarenteed to be fat. Strangely enough, many vegetarian stores in Singapore are more unhealthy than chinese cooked food stores. For one thing, if you look at what's on offer(especially those selling rice and dishes), for some reason there is usually very few vegetable dishes. Usually, 70% of the dishes are fake meat, more often than not fried with plenty of oil, or worse, deep fried. Of course, there are a few shops who actually offer heathy vegetarian food, but they're few and far between.

Step 2 : Potatoes (preferably deep fried)

If you want to get fat while being vegetarian, potatoes are your best friend. No, i'm not talking about steamed potatoes. I'm talking about things like french fries, wedges... deep friend, oily and full of fat. If those are not good enough for you, potatoes chips will do just as well. Eat potatoes often, and soon you'll be putting on the kilos.

Step 3 : Snacks

Snacking while watching TV, or for the sake of it is a great way to get fat, even if you're a vegetarian. Snacks available to you may have been cut a lot, but there are still a wide variety. Corn snakcs, tapioca snacks... the list goes on.

Step 4 : Don't Excercise

Regardless of what you eat, if you don't excercise, you will get fat. Especially with a diet mentioned above.
