Some of my information comes from ayurvedic workshops as well as my interest in metabolic typing which I've also done and know many others. Both fields have research on the subject. And you're right many vegetarians bulk out on carbs, in fact most don't know how to eat right. Some think they can "eat Indian" and get sick that way. There are light vegetarian regimes and heavy vegetarian regimes and of course in-between. Those have carb-protein-fat ratios that are different. The reason I brought up Cousens who is a pro-vegan practitioner is his questionnaires especially for the oxidation types are geared for people who have been trying to eat right over the years. Some of the oxidation research was done by Dr. George Watson at USC and he published a couple books on it. We're just all different and I don't have much regard for philosophical vegetarianism which can not only have a devastating effect on the mind as well as the body just as much as someone eat burgers and fries every day can have problems.
