Lazy Loading Items in Entity Framework

Question

I have two objects that have a many to many relationship with each other.

I'm using Entity Framework in a Database First approach.

My Database Profiler is showing that everytime I fetch one set of objects A, it loads the other set of object B for each element in A. I assumed that with lazy loading, this wouldn't happen, or that B would be fetched when accessing via the navigation property.

The code to access the objects uses a generic approach, where entities is my DbContext

public virtual IQueryable<T> GetAll()
{
    IQueryable<T> query = entities.Set<T>();
    return query;
}

Both navigation properties are implemented as virtual ICollection<T> and I have Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = true explicitly set in my DbContext constructor.

Am I missing something, or approaching this the wrong way? Should I just remove the navigation properties and explicitly load what I need via other queries?

In the presence of the experts I am reluctant to ask this :) but would setting ProxyCreationEnabled=false on the DbContext not help in this case? Sorry if this is too "newbish" of a point
