Ive watched your videos for a little over a year now, despite not being vegan. I maintain good diet, but I don't work out nearly as much as I should. Starting tomorrow I'll be attempting to workout at least 5 days a week, and go completely vegan. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep cranking out great videos my guy : )
Remember it's all about the long slow burn with both fitness and diet. Creating sustainable habits and consistency is where the results come from. Way to go, all the best to you man! Keep us posted!
Ambitious project my man, good luck! Compromise intead of giving up if the order is too tall. Gamechangers and Mic the vegan helped me a lot to switch Vegan and Derek helped me execute. Look it up if you ever need information or motivation!
I don’t know why you say your meals don’t look appetising, that dinner looks amazing! Mine usually looks like I’ve thrown up on the plate 😅 still healthy though 👌
Always great to see another post from you Derek, I generally eat pretty well but now with your help and seeing the game changers I have completely overhauled my diet. For an old guy being 60 it makes me excited to see what is happening to my body and my friends are wondering if they too can do this vegan thing. I bet you are inspiring people all over the world. Keep up the great work.
I have written 2 vegan songs ruclips.net/video/NSGfQdZKd_Q/видео.html and other songs on my channel. This one is called Rebels 🌱🌍💕🐖🐄🐓🍓 It would be amazing if you could give it a listen and comment your thoughts in the comments on my RUclips videos!
As always Derek, you were reasonable and encouraging. I love the positive and compassionate vibes you send out to the universe. You and Crystal are so classy and elegant. 💚💚🌱🌱
Thank you so much Derek for sharing recipes! I am not a body builder but am a beginner plant based whole foods eater. I love you're energy and willingness to help others!
Hello Buddy I just started my journey into the Vegan world. My wife and I did Keto for 2 year. We saw awesome result but now we want to go more healthy eating. I like your information. Please keeping posting more awesome ideas. Again thank you
Hi Derek! I’ve never commented on a video before but I thought I would for you! Just thought you should know that I have been plant based for a little over a year and a half, and it’s all thanks to you! I went vegan because of your videos and you helped me understand how to pack nutrients in my diet and be healthy and that it is possible! Thank you for every video they are all GOLD! Thanks for the kindness and the inspiration:) Kelsie
Thanks for posting. My wife and I are looking to understand where to start with a vegan diet. To make sure we are getting all the nutrients we need, this is a great start.
You’ve got a lot bigger my friend! I’m a vegetarian at this point because where I live we don’t have much vegan options and different fruits and vegetables but will turn vegan in a year or so! Keep making these videos man! So informative and helpful thanks a lot 😊
Hi Derek, I just wanted to wish you and your girlfriend a merry Christmas. I really appreciate the work you do in helping people around the world. Thank you brother. Ronnie, from the United Kingdom.
Wow ! You my guy make my day whenever you post a video , you are always starting a video with a smile on your face and I always feel good vibes watching you , God Bless You!!!
I have written 2 vegan songs ruclips.net/video/NSGfQdZKd_Q/видео.html and other songs on my channel. This one is called Rebels 🌱🌍💕🐖🐄🐓🍓 It would be amazing if you could give it a listen and comment your thoughts in the comments on my RUclips videos!
I literally CANNOT stop watching your videos. I am an avid RUclips watcher and watch everything from vlogs to recipe vids to informational vids, I watch it all. But your videos are my absolute favorite because it's an all in one. Vlogs, recipes, workout, interviews, travel, personal, informational and you are absolutely a pleasure to watch and a fellow Canadian to boot. I am so happy I have found your channel, keep up the amazing work Derek Please do another spotlight video on another amazing food, I love those
Derek, you always say plating is not your strength, but I think you are really good at it. Your plates/bowls look amazing and inspire me to make these recipes. Thank you!
Great video! My two favorite points were you making the banana, date and cinnamon water for your oatmeal and pouring vegetable broth over the rice to moisten it. I like your attention to flavor!!
I love your show. I have been on medication battling with high blood pressure for the past few years. Recently, I developed an allergy to the various medicines. I am trying to lower my weigh and change my eating habits. Your videos are not only inspirational, but also full of great and simple ideas to cook healthier. Than you so much!
YES! That is the idea. It wouldn't help many people if I was like, "okay now I am going to use this rare ingredient that you can only get at this one store near my house" Haha, maybe I do that sometimes though. Thanks for the kind comment.
Thank you for the comment Alex! Yes, I hope the new camera is better and especially the audio. It's a bit harder to use, but I think it's worth the extra quality.
Another winner-winner, stir-fry dinner. I'm always down for simple meal ideas. I keep telling anyone who doesn't run away from me that the older I get, the more trouble I seem to have cooking for myself. I get so caught up in all the info and ideas out there and the idea of getting something perfect. So your excellent reminders of how to take care of my damn self without make a huge production out of it are always, always welcome.
I got a Vitamix recently and I also find a rinse is all you need, except with flax. They stick to the inside, so I need to blend hot soapy water to clear that.
I have a vitamix too, rinse with hot water from the tap. Takes 20 seconds for a thorough rinse 😉 or put a drop of dish soap or baking soda and vinegar in 16 to 32 ounces of hot water and blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds for it to self clean.
I can't wait for another one of these videos! I love the "What I Eat In a Day" ones because when it comes to creativity with making my own food... I don't have any lol I think you're a very good role model when it comes to food!
I like how you often use a combination of greens, beans, veggies, and avocado, and the putting it together in a bowl. This is my go-to combo every day. Please do more videos with these bowls.
Great video, thanks for the inspiration. I eat a lot of soups, stews, porrige cooked in pressure cooker during cold months. I try to eat only sesonal veggies from the garden and also what I stored. This time a year I have leeks, kale, turnip, raddish, salad, spinach, celeriac and pea shoots in the garden. As well as fermented turnip and sauerkraut, stored pumpkin & squash, potato &sweet, potato and two 400litre freezers full of veggies and fruits. And homegrown walnuts😀
Great video Derek 😊 I've been watching you for 6 or so years now, you helped me go vegan. These stir fry meals with your sauces are still a staple for us and they're so delicious. Thanks for all you share, you help so many people ❤
Awesome video! It's so great to watch these! I bet they help a lot of people learn what to eat on a plant based diet! Your videos always inspire me to keep posting more on my channel!
These videos are awesome! My wife and I were vegan for a year and loved it. When I started a new job that consumed more of my time we stoped because I didn't have time on the weekend to do all the meal prepping that I used to. These videos made me realize I don't have to make elaborate meals. It is all about making a variety of flavorful sauces to keep meals interesting. Now during the week we usually just eat kale, tofu, and sweet potato and all of the flavor comes from fresh herbs and spices I blend up together. Also, my workouts are feeling great. Thanks for inspiring us to try again!
You have really helped on my start at a vegan diet. I am three weeks into it and can already see a reduction in inflammation and joint pain. I am 54 with bad knees. I would really love to see some workouts that I could possibly do. Anything sitting with weights for my upper body, extremely low impact to my knees, a gentle, but movement workout that I can still get some cardio benefits from. I have a number of coworkers and friends who are in their 50s and early 60s and are looking for the same things. I get in about 8000 steps a day, but that is about all I’m doing so far. Just looking for the next step I need to take, which is exercise, and I want to regain some physical strength that I have lost. I listen to your videos every morning as I get dressed and they get me on track for the day as far as my thinking for nutrition. Much thanks for the information and motivation! Oh, and I am addicted to your tahini dressing!
I would love to add wall flipping machine to that title too. ;) You will have to teach me that someday. I have it on my trampoline but it's so different in real life. (Trampolines aren't real life lol)
I love looking at every meal now as a way to love my body...I think when you go WFPB you tend to do that more! Love your channel. I really feel at your age you gotta lot figured out that it took me a bit to learn - but glad I stuck with it
Is this for real, hundreds or grams of sugar, well over 20 ingredients shipped from all over the world, repeat after me I am saving the planet... I am healthy.
Great video! An health tip I got from someone else: never mix food in an aluminum pot with an aluminium spoon, it will inevitably scratch the pot releasing aluminum particles into the food. Unfortunately aluminum is incredibly easy to scratch. As soon as it will come in contact with your stomach acid, it will make it a bit more alkaline, worsening your digestion (interferring with the sodium-potassium pump). Wooden spoons are best for cooking.
Thank you but my pans/pots are stainless steel. I know stainless steel contains small amounts of aluminium, but they certainly aren't aluminum pots. I will take your warning though, thank you.
i just started eating vegan last month and im alwayse on the hunt for interesting ways to add protien and nutrients in tasty ways. love your chanel dude!
Ive always been told that vitamin D3 may lower levels of melatonin, and that it is best to take it in the AM. Do you notice a difference in sleep quality when taking it at night?
I've never looked into it, but I could totally understand that theory. I don't notice any difference in my sleep quality, but I will start taking it in the morning as that makes sense to me.
Hey Derek, since you eat stir fry most nights, a good tip would be to precut the broccoli 🥦 or any other cruciferous veggies that morning or during lunch for that sulforaphane goodness 👍
Jdchan I was going to comment about chopping it up first and letting it set while doing everything else - your suggestion is probably better if you can pre-plan!
Thank you. I will definitely try to get another upload before Christmas. Maybe an AMM with Crystal. Any suggestions? We wanted to do a Christmas meals video but I might not squeeze that in in time.
Yes. Question please. Are wedding bell's ring just as Christmas one's. Lol 🤔 Looking forward to any uploads & always good with Beautiful Crystal. Much Love & support Brother. 💪🏾😎🤙🏾
I just recently went vegan, like 3 weeks ago. I am absolutely loving how easy and quick meal prep is. Thanks for sharing! A big hi from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have family in Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Love it there! Keep sharing more recipes 😄
I get that. What I usually do (or did when I was commuting to work and school) would be to cook a whole bunch of rice, beans, lentils, sweet potato, etc. the stuff that provides a lot of calories but takes a while to cook, then put that in the fridge and just make quick meals with that. It doesn't take long to throw some greens and chop veggies into a tupperwear container, then add the stuff you already cooked, throw some sauerkraut on there, maybe some hemp seeds or something, then some leftover sauce from last night and bam, you are the envy of everyone in the lunch room.
meals look incredibly healthy with all of those vegetables. seems like your food is allowing you to be really happy and im super happy for you that you're enjoying life
It's such a treat to wake up to a new video from you, Derek. It's 5 am here in Texas, and I'm off to a great start, thanks in part to your upbeat personality and fun style. I always enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing!
This is my first time watching a video on your channel, and I will be back. I’m 53 and trying to work my way back to healthy...using intermittent fasting to help. I appreciated your informal approach and not as much “science” as other channels I’ve seen. Thanks for your efforts!
Tory L I’ll believe the American Dietetics association when they say that a well-planned vegan diet is nutritionally adequate for all stages of the life cycle, from childhood to adulthood and for pregnant women and athletes. You’re right, I shouldn’t believe random nobodies on the internet, thanks Tory L!
Hey Derek, if you got a squeeze bottle for your sauces it might be an easy way to significantly improve the presentation of your dishes. Thanks for all the great content!
How many thousand calories do you typically eat? I am an ex runner too and I've just started back at the gym, but I'm not a big eater. I can't image eating bowls of food that big as I don't usually have much of an appetite. I'm hoping the workouts will make me hungry in general and my appetite increases.
Watching your video makes meal preparation seem so easy. Every time I try it, it ultimately feels like a massive undertaking whether it is breakfast prep, lunch prep or evening prep. Here's hoping you have a most energetic 2020!
Hmm good call. You might be right, it probably does technically break my fast, but it sure doesn't feel like it. There is no nutrition label on this (I guess because it's a supplement) so I couldn't tell ya how many calories/carbs it has. I can tell if I have something like some banana or a date I definitely feel different. I guess "working out on an empty stomach" would have been more accurate. It isn't very sweet so I wouldn't imagine it contains much carbs or energy, but good call on that one.
Simnett Nutrition Just thought I’d ask! Beets aren’t crazy high in calories, so might be in the clear! Either way; if you’re getting benefits from it, that’s more important 😁
I am a meat eater..urgg. ha but not for long. I'm going to get healthy and go on the wfpb way of living. I'm so excited to change for the best that I can be ! I love all the food options I never heard of before that you mention in your videos. I'm glad you added things that we can add to our food for better health. Thanks so much ! Wish me luck...
@@Simnettnutrition Oh no, I meant every word lol. Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes. Try not to sell your self short, you ARE good looking and you offer helpful info on nutrition to boot!
Hey Derek, I’ve been following your for a few years now. Big fan. The onions...when you chop them, skip the first horizontal cut that you make. You just need the vertical cuts and then the final one across and it’ll dice just fine. Saves you a step.
Ive watched your videos for a little over a year now, despite not being vegan. I maintain good diet, but I don't work out nearly as much as I should. Starting tomorrow I'll be attempting to workout at least 5 days a week, and go completely vegan. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep cranking out great videos my guy : )

@@lionelridge2552 weak b8 m8 ... Try harder
Derek saying “please, please, please” when opening the avocado is very relatable.
Why do people always have to squeeze the AVOS! A pet peeve of mine, fer sure
Hahahahahah for real
It sucks when you you see any black when opening the avocado for your salad..if so.. then it's destined for the blender
@@rickattard2339 When life gives you bruised avocados, make guacamole!
Look for avocado that still have the stub at the end it's almost a grantee it will be green
Am I the only one who found watching the vegetable chop time-lapse segment so mesmerizing?
I don’t know why you say your meals don’t look appetising, that dinner looks amazing! Mine usually looks like I’ve thrown up on the plate 😅 still healthy though 👌
I guess I just have high standards after everyone is always posting such sexy looking meals on Instagram. Haha.
I think they always look amazing too!
I'm up for trying vegan sausages.
@@Simnettnutrition Would you recommend Ezekiel Bread?
He should see mine. I could apply for a job as a cook in prison.
Was going to bed... see Simnett upload.. now I cant. Thanks for ruining my sleep derek
Haha Jon, you are too kind. Like you aren't sick of me and my vids yet!?!?! You should watch in the morning that way Noah can see! ;)
I’m glad to see you two are such sweet vegan bros 🌱🥰
You gotta get that rest, Jon. It's important for them gains :D But yeah, who can turn down a Simnett vid.
Hahaha, same here. I saw that it got uploaded on IG and had to binge 😁💯🔥💪🏾😁🤙🏾

Bro you can eat! Love how you just did you, instead of a major staging thing. Love to see the real thing in action!
I think most of Derek's life goes in cleaning the mixer 😂
You know what, I just rinse it with the sprayer most of the time. I wish we had a dishwasher though.
I got a Vitamix recently and I also find a rinse is all you need, except with flax. They stick to the inside, so I need to blend hot soapy water to clear that.
I have a vitamix too, rinse with hot water from the tap. Takes 20 seconds for a thorough rinse 😉 or put a drop of dish soap or baking soda and vinegar in 16 to 32 ounces of hot water and blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds for it to self clean.
I was literally thinking that lol. One of the reasons I don't make smoothies often. It is a lot easier if you rinse right after you use it, though.
@@DH-uw3us can't slack off, use a dish, wash a dish. Discipline is the ultimate freedom 😉

I just recently went vegan, like 3 weeks ago. I am absolutely loving how easy and quick meal prep is. Thanks for sharing! A big hi from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have family in Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Love it there!
Keep sharing more recipes 😄
Them beets biceps are lookin THICC 🔥 💪🏼
I love thick shafts.
Is there any meals you would recommend to cook in bulk for the week and most people don't have to time cook every meal.
Thanks 👍
I get that. What I usually do (or did when I was commuting to work and school) would be to cook a whole bunch of rice, beans, lentils, sweet potato, etc. the stuff that provides a lot of calories but takes a while to cook, then put that in the fridge and just make quick meals with that. It doesn't take long to throw some greens and chop veggies into a tupperwear container, then add the stuff you already cooked, throw some sauerkraut on there, maybe some hemp seeds or something, then some leftover sauce from last night and bam, you are the envy of everyone in the lunch room.
@@Simnettnutrition top man 👍
Thanks
Alot of meats and potatoes lol
This was great, thank you! I’ve been vegan for almost 13 years but you’ve given me some fab new meal ideas 👏
meals look incredibly healthy with all of those vegetables. seems like your food is allowing you to be really happy and im super happy for you that you're enjoying life
2020 the vegan diet will be the new normal. :)
Your delusional
first! Derek you're a livin legend man!
It's such a treat to wake up to a new video from you, Derek. It's 5 am here in Texas, and I'm off to a great start, thanks in part to your upbeat personality and fun style. I always enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing!
This is my first time watching a video on your channel, and I will be back. I’m 53 and trying to work my way back to healthy...using intermittent fasting to help. I appreciated your informal approach and not as much “science” as other channels I’ve seen. Thanks for your efforts!
I've tried working out in fasting. I didn't do well.
You look like you’ve put more muscle on recently
Thank you! I'm trying hard but the scale doesn't seem to move haha. The scale doesn't matter though, I feel great!
@@Simnettnutrition scale is misleading dude! Its all about the measurements but you know that already lol
He always looks like he put on muscles! :)
Tory L I’ll believe the American Dietetics association when they say that a well-planned vegan diet is nutritionally adequate for all stages of the life cycle, from childhood to adulthood and for pregnant women and athletes. You’re right, I shouldn’t believe random nobodies on the internet, thanks Tory L!
David Williams what do u mean scale is misleading, it's all about measurements?
Hey Derek, if you got a squeeze bottle for your sauces it might be an easy way to significantly improve the presentation of your dishes. Thanks for all the great content!
This whole days worth of meals was really enlightening! I am reAlly enjoying your channel!
just what I need healthy and delicious👍
How many thousand calories do you typically eat? I am an ex runner too and I've just started back at the gym, but I'm not a big eater. I can't image eating bowls of food that big as I don't usually have much of an appetite. I'm hoping the workouts will make me hungry in general and my appetite increases.
Les Jackson have the same problems...
Watching your video makes meal preparation seem so easy. Every time I try it, it ultimately feels like a massive undertaking whether it is breakfast prep, lunch prep or evening prep. Here's hoping you have a most energetic 2020!
Your food are always colorful and vibrant .
I’m trying to do more plant based meals. Thanks for the meal ideas.👍🏾
I'm curious about the beet root crystals....do you know if that breaks a fast or no?
So how do you train fasted if you have beet root? Does it not break your fast?
Hmm good call. You might be right, it probably does technically break my fast, but it sure doesn't feel like it. There is no nutrition label on this (I guess because it's a supplement) so I couldn't tell ya how many calories/carbs it has. I can tell if I have something like some banana or a date I definitely feel different. I guess "working out on an empty stomach" would have been more accurate. It isn't very sweet so I wouldn't imagine it contains much carbs or energy, but good call on that one.
Simnett Nutrition Just thought I’d ask! Beets aren’t crazy high in calories, so might be in the clear! Either way; if you’re getting benefits from it, that’s more important 😁
try beet powder in oatmeal with dried cran berries soak over night with oatmeal cook in morning. and splash of milk.
I am a meat eater..urgg. ha but not for long. I'm going to get healthy and go on the wfpb way of living. I'm so excited to change for the best that I can be ! I love all the food options I never heard of before that you mention in your videos. I'm glad you added things that we can add to our food for better health. Thanks so much ! Wish me luck...
I recently subbed to this sexy health dude. Am not disappointed!
HAha, I think you're commenting on the wrong video lol. Jks, welcome, thanks for the sub.
@@Simnettnutrition Oh no, I meant every word lol. Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes. Try not to sell your self short, you ARE good looking and you offer helpful info on nutrition to boot!
he's the best
Sexy and seemingly great personality health dude... that's him! :D
i just chew the dates and spit them out into my oatmeal then cook it lol. saves time from having to wash a blender..
You are so kind
Such a sweet man
Respect brother👋
Thank you for sharing your recipes I have been looking for new healthier creative dishes to make. Have great day.
I love you
I can appreciate that.
I’m surprised. You eat avocado toast and yet you still managed to become a homeowner.
😂😂😂😂
Your channel is amazing and very helpful for a vegan beginner!🙏🏾
Hey Derek, I’ve been following your for a few years now. Big fan. The onions...when you chop them, skip the first horizontal cut that you make. You just need the vertical cuts and then the final one across and it’ll dice just fine. Saves you a step.
