Thank you Joey! It's never easy man. I was just watching your second video at the pride march in London and it's so great. What you do is amazing man. I love the idea of catching people in situations where they are clearly supporting all the things veganism represents but for a different cause then you hit them with the fire! Haha, keep it up.
Your comments about carrying on the spirit of a loved one (human or animal) that has passed away, by emulating the traits your most admired about them, is profound and insightful. I’m very sorry for your loss, it’s never easy. ❤️✌️
Such genuine raw emotion in this video which a lot of "Influencers" would try and hide. It's so refreshing to see such honesty and I truly feel for your loss. My cat misty was my best friend. Sending lots of peace and love ❤️✌️
I am so sorry Derek for your loss. I have six cats. I know how much you must hurt. It is just fine to cry. Please don’t feel you have to hold back. I have had to put 3 dogs down in the last three years, so I understand your grief. Their ages were 16, 19, and 19, so it was very difficult for me. I still have moments when I still cry about them. God bless you two. 😢😢
I lost Phil last year. He was 17 years old. I had him with me for almost half my life. It almost killed me. I am so sorry for your loss. Phil was just a happy, friendly, funny guy.
Dang, I'm so sorry to hear. That must be Phil in your profile pic. A beautiful cat he was! Yes coco was funny too! I love animals with a sense of humour. Much love friend.
I just love how perfectly honest and real you are. I know the pain of losing a companion animal, and I know it hurts really bad. I seriously just shed a tear along with you watching the video , Coco was really sweet and I hope that you can, over time, take some small comfort in the time you shared with him. My most heartfelt condolences to you and Crystal. I love your videos and I hope you get even more popular and influence as many people as possible with your kind heart. A lot of love to you, my vegan brother.
Again, so sorry for your loss Derek. Coco was an amazing cat and loved by so many. Thanks for always being so genuine. Keep on doing what you're doing. #Respect
@@Simnettnutrition You're welcome, hun! Don't feel bad at all for getting so emotional. Thanks for expressing yourself so openly and not editing it out. :-)
Hey Derek! 👋🏻 sad to hear about your cat ☹️. I just want to let you know I watch your videos to help with my nutrition. I am a strongwoman competitor and MANY of my fellow competitors eat a normal meat diet. I can still retain muscle on my pescatarian diet, however, I would love to go vegan one day!
Why wait? You can do it! Your body will thank you every day! Derek himself, but also many other vegans show that you can build muscle on a whole food plant-based diet!
Noud Smeets I definitely agree with you! I have never really enjoyed eating meat, HOWEVER, I do love fish and find it hard not to consume it. I am an avid Fisher here in Canada and try to eat locally caught fish etc. Still working on things and becoming more aware of my carbon footprint. 👊🏻
@@KeelanTatarliovvvvv A good place to start (because of the sensible advice) is Joel Fuhrman's paper called 'Fueling the Vegan Athlete'. It is easily found online.
In September a new documentary called Game Changers is coming out about high-level vegan athletes. You should look up the new trailer that came out a couple of weeks ago!
i feel so sorry omg i actually cried with you. but i loved this video anyway because you put so much energy and passion on what you’re doing and that motivates me so much! love from italy🇮🇹❤️
Thanks for sharing about Coco on here. My cat of 9 years died suddenly a year ago next week, I know how you're feeling. Keeping a memory of them with how you act is a great way to honor those we lost.
I'm so sorry about Coco :( I started crying along with you. Sending lots of love to you and Crystal ❤️ I can definitely relate as I lost my two kitties 3 years ago. When Hector died, it seemed like Rita somewhat gave up as well and she got sick too. They were 14 and 15 years old. I grew up with them, so they were everything to me. I miss them so much. Our pets always stay in our hearts ❤️
So sorry about coco. Know the pain too well I've lost 2 cat babies one 15yrs one 20yrs just recently. Ralphie n Rosie. Animals teach us so much. They are pure n unadulterated. My Ralphie was a joker n loved hugs n was a scared cat but he was huge. (Norwegian forest cat) his mum Rosie was gentle so I tune with my feelings when I was ill or upset. She was brave n ran off foxes. Thanku for sharing your love n wonderful life journey with coco. Xxxxxx 🙏💗💗💗💗
Oh my goodness, Derek I’m SO very sorry about Coco! I can’t imagine what a difficult week it’s been for you and Crystal. My dog passed last year and I never knew how much it hurts to lose a pet! I cried so hard for that dog in a way I’ve never mourned another human. Sending you love and peace and my deepest gratitudes for what you do for the world! You inspire us all! ❤️
rip coco all the love goes to you manand stay strong derek stay strong man you have a lot of people who looks up to you so lead him the right way in all the obstacle and pain that they get in life.
I'm so sorry about Coco 😟😟 And I appreciate that you are still taking time to post this video for us. I love how you show that vegans eat a ton. Sending you and Krystal so many good vibes.
Yes of course. I should have posted it for the weekend but we actually had a wedding to help at and attend. Lots going on lately, but I suppose that's a good thing. Thanks for the good vibes. :D. And yes, I eat a lot. Haha, you should see Crystal!
So very sorry to hear coco is no longer with you, its incredible how they touch our hearts, i lost a dog last year and it felt like i'd lost a child but its a good thing to grieve and i completely agree with your philosophy on honouring their lives by us being a little more like them every day, much love to you both❤❤
Condolences on for your loss. Nothing can prepare you for furry family members passing. 😢 It's great at least that Coco was surrounded by all that love.❤️
🥺😭😭😭😭 I am so sorry Derek and Crystal. I love my Talibot my lilac point blue eye beautiful Cat that my husband gave me for our Anniversary I just can't imagine losing him. 😓 🙏 praying for comfort for your heavy hearts. Sending good vibes your way. Thank you for all of your videos so personal and helpful ❤ you both inspire everyone with your great souls ❤❤. Oh man! I got so mushy lol I am sorry. 😅
Hi Derek, I just have to tell you that since watching one of your "What I eat In a Day" videos 6 months ago I have become really into Calisthenics, I have been skateboarding for 15 years but Calisthenics is a whole new challenge, your videos have inspired me to live a fitness based lifestyle instead of just skateboarding but also using my body weight to get stronger! a few weeks ago I couldn't even do 2 pull ups but now I can bang out a whole bunch (my goal is the muscle up) and I know il get there soon, what i'm saying is your content is very valuable to me and i'm so grateful to have stumbled across them, I have been plant based for 4 years but since I took out the added oil and fatty foods i'm really feeling the benefits thanks to your information, you may not know it but your videos are a breath of fresh air and exactly what I needed a few months ago and I have Never felt so good. I saw Coco in the first video of yours that I watched and I never thought I would see him go, you gave him a great life and made him feel safe, thats what matters, and I believe his kind spirit will live on through you, Thank you Derek and Crystal! rest easy Coco ✌️
thank you for being so real and for being unafraid to show emotion. thank you for sharing how we can honor our loved ones by carrying on their good qualities. i hope i imbibe as many qualities as i can from the sweet 17 year old little dog i live with.
I love seeing you enjoy your food Derek. Everything that you ate looked amazing. And I don't mind if you chop your vegetables sometimes it's relaxing to watch someone else do it Lol. And Coco will be missed. ❤ We lost our cat Wyatt to kidney disease in 2012. we did everything to help him but unfortunately he didn't make it. I am happy you are back with a new video.
Thank you. Sorry to hear of your loss too. Dang, those little kitty kidneys go through a lot. That's how we lost Coco a few months back. Much love from us here.
Loved seeing Coco. He/she will be missed. I lost my Lucy, a Bichon about a year ago. We had almost 14 years of loving together and I still miss her. Appreciate all your videos. You are an inspiration!
Oh no😭💔💔💔We feel for you. That's what I do in remembrance of my dad: personify my favorite characteristics of his. Thank you for your strength and dedication to us all. You are an inspiration❤
Our animal friends are as much our family as human ones. Hugs to you both x I cried buckets when I lost my last dog to cancer. He taught our family about the huge capacity for love out of adversity (he was a rescue and we were his third family).
Tons of love and hugs to you and Crystal. I lost my kitty Gracie a few months ago. They touch us in so many ways, what a blessing to have them in our lives.
I am SO sorry for the loss of your cat. May she rest in power. Loosing someone close to your heart is always devastating. No matter if human or animal. I wish you strength happiness and all the best 💜.
It's been 2 years since I lost my kitty friend of 16 years and I still get choked up when I see his pictures, videos, or hear stories like this one ... Lots of loving vibes for you ❤️
My condolences, Coco was such a good kitty❤️ Just to let you know, your videos have helped me so much. I’ve been vegan for 5 years, but I’ve been the unhealthy type. I never knew how to cook so I would just eat frozen fake meat and only packaged vegan products😬 Since watching your videos, I’ve started cooking all my meals. I’ve not only felt better, but I’ve saved a ton of money! Keep doing what your doing!!
Much love for you and Kristen brother! RIP Coco❤️ And thx for sharing you raw, unedited emotions this video! I teared up right along with you and appreciate seeing your vulnerability!
When you were cooking and Coco jumped on the counter and you’re like “coco!!” That was my fav memory. I love your way of saying we should remember qualities of loved ones. I think about that with the recent passing of my mother. You know what helps me through my day? Food. Cause of you I can cook good food and keep strong. Thanks Derr!
💗💗💗 It's never easy losing a fur-baby. You're right that it's important to stick with the healthy habits even when feeling sad, because taking care of one's physical self fosters healing in the heart, mind, and spirit 🙌 I just found your channel the other week and Coco definitely solidified my decision to subscribe. So happy I did because your nutritional knowledge and positive energy has been wonderfully helpful on my vegan journey. Much love 💓
I’m so sorry to hear about your baby boy! It’s always hard losing a family member!! Sending lots of love and positive vibes to you guys!! 🖤🖤🖤 great video as always!
RIP Cocoa, My husband and I in our 48 years have been lucky to have many cat fur babies , so I know what you were feeling, I’m sorry for your loss. We have cried many tears as well, it’s good to cry, it helps with the grieving process. I believe we see our fur babies again, they are there to greet us Our fur babies Brandy,Buddy,manny,Frankie,Franny, and now Stella, we rescued her two years ago
Hi guys, I wanna start this messenger saiyng sorry for my bad english, I'm from Brazil and my english skills are a little rusty haha, but when a sew you crying in this video this browken my heart, but you know something? I'm shure that you little cat are happy in the cat's havens, plaiyng with another pet ho became little angels, and Coco was a lucky one because in his life he felt how be love looks like, be in peace, you and Cristy done something bealtifful, and know that you will meet again, one day,
So sorry for coco. Growing up I was always irresposible with the animals that accompained me and 2 of our family dogs escaped and ran away from me. Now I have a dog thats been in the family for nearly 5 years, I couldnt imagine how would it been to lose him, he is so happy always. On a more positive note, your shirt at the beggining is really, really cool!
You made me cry! I understand how much love you can feel for an animal until you have that bond there is no way to explain it. Very brave of you to show the good and the bad, honestly I appreciate it so much since most of the people sharing content online prefer to deal with bad stuff behind closed doors (which I get), but you even being a guy (stupidly, society punishes vulnerability in men) decide to share your emotions and honor your loved one...so admirable. I have been a fan for a long time, but today I admire you! Thank you for being real! Hope you are feeling okay today, and Im really sorry for your loss. RIP Coco!
I'm so very sorry for yours and Crystal's loss. I'm a single mom with a daughter who has autism, and our cat Puffy, has and does help her and me in so many ways. Our animals are our family. Loosing them is heartbreaking. A couple years ago my father was murdered and it changed our lives in such a drastic way, it's hard to put in words, but there was our sweet Puffy, being a beacon of hope and comfort to us. We absolutely love animals, and your videos are extremely inspiring. Thank you and Crystal for all your positivity. ❤️
So sweet that you had the courage to talk about him in the vlog I would had bawled my eyes out, you were a champ! Rest In Peace coco you will be missed❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss! ❤️ Coco was a part of your family, and will live on forever in your hearts. Thanks for being so genuine and human and sharing your very raw emotions.
RIP Coco, get the rest you deserve buddy ...😢. I love the resilience you have to push forward Derek. Losing a family member (person or pet really hurt) but it shows just how strong your character is and that my friend I have to say I respect very much.
I am so sorry for your lost Derek, it happened to me 7 years ago with my Anselmo, he was such a lovely cat but we couln't do anything with the strange disease he was struggling with. We make sure that he could have a decent and good life the whole year he lived with us. I send you lots of support and a big hug, I know it hurts a lot, all we can do is keep the good memories with us forever.
I am so sorry to hear about Coco. I always loved seeing him in your videos. You are an amazing person and I know you guys made his life so wonderful and comfortable!
Derek my love is with you and Crystal right now. I lost my cat Molly who was 18 years old back in March it was really hard and I spent like a week non-stop crying so I know how it feels but it makes you cherish how wonderful life is in these moments and how loving animals can be. Hope you're both doing well.
Oh Derek, my heart goes out to you and Crystal. I love Coco and immensely enjoyed seeing him in your videos; he was a big part of our Vegan family and he always will be. I’ve rescued cats my entire life and wouldn’t be alive right now if it weren’t for them. They have an amazing tendency to pull you out of even the toughest hardships and pain and I owe everything to companion Animals because of this. Obviously the hardest part of having a companion Animal in our lives is when they inevitably have to leave us; but they are entirely worth it. In my experience, they give life meaning. I’m so glad I got to be even a small part of Coco’s family while he was with us and I know he’s touched so many lives, as have you and Crystal. Thank you for sharing this with us, it means the world to me that you have such empathy and compassion. It gives me hope and it truly reaches us all. Sending all my love to you both. We love you Coco, rest in absolute peace, my friend.
I know this video is 5 months old now but it’s brand new to me and I wanted to send my condolences I’ve been watching you guys for a few weeks now and you’ve been a huge inspiration to me . Not only with nutrition and exercise but I love How honest , real and passionate you are about what you do and how you guys share your lives with us . It inspired me to be a better person Looking forward to more videos Sending love from Nyc
So sorry for the loss of your beloved Coco, it is never easy having to say goodbye to cherished furry kids.... be in the comfort that one day you will see him again sending both hugs and love from England to both you and Crystal 💖💖💖
its always best to get it out, never feel like you have to hide it from anyone. love your vlogs and hope the sorrow turns into nothing but healthy and happy memories.
Rip Coco :( Sorry to hear bro. Condolences to you and your lady.
Thank you Joey! It's never easy man. I was just watching your second video at the pride march in London and it's so great. What you do is amazing man. I love the idea of catching people in situations where they are clearly supporting all the things veganism represents but for a different cause then you hit them with the fire! Haha, keep it up.
I loved the idea to think of one good characteristic and then trying to adopt it a bit!
@@Simnettnutrition ...just out of curiosity, what diet did you feed Coco???
Im sorry a out your cat bro, ive got 5 of them myself
So sorry about Coco, it's never easy. I'm in Nanaimo, where do you buy the miso from Vancouver, please? TIA
simnett buddy i just lost my dog of 17 years, it's okay to cry. they're family, man.
Sorry about Coco ☹️. We love you for putting up content.
Thank you. I love you for watching my content! Haha. ;)
Your comments about carrying on the spirit of a loved one (human or animal) that has passed away, by emulating the traits your most admired about them, is profound and insightful. I’m very sorry for your loss, it’s never easy. ❤️✌️
Thank you
😭😭😭 this made my boyfriend and I tear up! What a lovely sentiment.
Such genuine raw emotion in this video which a lot of "Influencers" would try and hide. It's so refreshing to see such honesty and I truly feel for your loss. My cat misty was my best friend. Sending lots of peace and love ❤️✌️
Thank you. I think showing vulnerability is important sometimes. Ohh misty, so sweet I bet.
So true I love him for that
Especially from a man, refreshing :) Sorry for your loss
At 83 I have outlived quite a few pets. It’s hard every time, I sympathise.
Ohh, I had to cry too! 😞
An animal can give us humans so so much. Coco is at a better place now.
Takes balls to cry like that in front of the camera brother? Respect ✊💪🏼💪🏼👊😘
@Col83 shut the fuck up
@Col83 idiot
Such a man ❤️
Leave Col83 alone guys he has a lot of growing up to do before he understands what it really means to be a man:)
Wow!!!! Your a cold hearted MORON TO SAY HE HAS BALLS!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, HE JUST LOST HIS BABY YOU MORON!!!!!!
Knowing how much you loved your kitty makes me respect you even more
I like that you appreciate and adopt a quality from a loved one that’s passed. That’s a very sweet way to remember someone
Sorry to hear about Coco, he was such a sweetie. Sending hugs and love to you and Crystal💕❤️
I am so sorry Derek for your loss. I have six cats. I know how much you must hurt. It is just fine to cry. Please don’t feel you have to hold back. I have had to put 3 dogs down in the last three years, so I understand your grief. Their ages were 16, 19, and 19, so it was very difficult for me. I still have moments when I still cry about them. God bless you two. 😢😢

I think about that with the recent passing of my mother. You know what helps me through my day? Food. Cause of you I can cook good food and keep strong. Thanks Derr!
I'm sorry my dog passed away July 3rd 2019 Im still crying and miss her.
💗💗💗 It's never easy losing a fur-baby. You're right that it's important to stick with the healthy habits even when feeling sad, because taking care of one's physical self fosters healing in the heart, mind, and spirit 🙌 I just found your channel the other week and Coco definitely solidified my decision to subscribe. So happy I did because your nutritional knowledge and positive energy has been wonderfully helpful on my vegan journey. Much love 💓
If you're in Canada you can order vivo life from a site called nutracrave. Sorry for your loss Derek
So sorry about coco! Its really hard to lose someone that’s been a part of the family for so long. ❤️ big hugs
Your cat was dope and a lovely cat, so refreshing to see a man show emotion that he is feeling...and never heard of pokeball lmao
Thank you Derek for sharing that with us. It is good to see you open up like that, not being afraid of showing your emotions! Keep being amazing!
I’m so sorry to hear about your baby boy! It’s always hard losing a family member!! Sending lots of love and positive vibes to you guys!! 🖤🖤🖤 great video as always!
RIP Cocoa,
My husband and I in our 48 years have been lucky to have many cat fur babies , so I know what you were feeling, I’m sorry for your loss.
We have cried many tears as well, it’s good to cry, it helps with the grieving process. I believe we see our fur babies again, they are there to greet us
Our fur babies Brandy,Buddy,manny,Frankie,Franny, and now Stella, we rescued her two years ago
Hi guys, I wanna start this messenger saiyng sorry for my bad english, I'm from Brazil and my english skills are a little rusty haha, but when a sew you crying in this video this browken my heart, but you know something? I'm shure that you little cat are happy in the cat's havens, plaiyng with another pet ho became little angels, and Coco was a lucky one because in his life he felt how be love looks like, be in peace, you and Cristy done something bealtifful, and know that you will meet again, one day,
So sorry for coco. Growing up I was always irresposible with the animals that accompained me and 2 of our family dogs escaped and ran away from me. Now I have a dog thats been in the family for nearly 5 years, I couldnt imagine how would it been to lose him, he is so happy always.
On a more positive note, your shirt at the beggining is really, really cool!
"People think I'm dirty for letting u b on the counter... but in not!"
You made me cry! I understand how much love you can feel for an animal until you have that bond there is no way to explain it. Very brave of you to show the good and the bad, honestly I appreciate it so much since most of the people sharing content online prefer to deal with bad stuff behind closed doors (which I get), but you even being a guy (stupidly, society punishes vulnerability in men) decide to share your emotions and honor your loved one...so admirable. I have been a fan for a long time, but today I admire you! Thank you for being real! Hope you are feeling okay today, and Im really sorry for your loss. RIP Coco!
Holy guac what a beautiful way to perceive life and death. You are awesome. My condolences 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm so very sorry for yours and Crystal's loss.
I'm a single mom with a daughter who has autism, and our cat Puffy, has and does help her and me in so many ways.
Our animals are our family. Loosing them is heartbreaking.
A couple years ago my father was murdered and it changed our lives in such a drastic way, it's hard to put in words, but there was our sweet Puffy, being a beacon of hope and comfort to us. We absolutely love animals, and your videos are extremely inspiring. Thank you and Crystal for all your positivity. ❤️
So sweet that you had the courage to talk about him in the vlog I would had bawled my eyes out, you were a champ! Rest In Peace coco you will be missed❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss! ❤️ Coco was a part of your family, and will live on forever in your hearts.
Thanks for being so genuine and human and sharing your very raw emotions.
Coco sure seems to have had a great life with loving persons like you around him.
I’m sorry about coco’s passing. So Sorry for your pain, and your loss. It’s nice that you had him in your life.
Thank you for letting us remember Coco with the community. I rescued and got a kitten adopted out about a month ago. Those emotional ties.
So sorry for your loss...prayers on the way ❤️🙏🏽
RIP Coco, get the rest you deserve buddy ...😢. I love the resilience you have to push forward Derek. Losing a family member (person or pet really hurt) but it shows just how strong your character is and that my friend I have to say I respect very much.
I am so sorry for your lost Derek, it happened to me 7 years ago with my Anselmo, he was such a lovely cat but we couln't do anything with the strange disease he was struggling with. We make sure that he could have a decent and good life the whole year he lived with us. I send you lots of support and a big hug, I know it hurts a lot, all we can do is keep the good memories with us forever.
I am so sorry to hear about Coco. I always loved seeing him in your videos. You are an amazing person and I know you guys made his life so wonderful and comfortable!
Derek my love is with you and Crystal right now. I lost my cat Molly who was 18 years old back in March it was really hard and I spent like a week non-stop crying so I know how it feels but it makes you cherish how wonderful life is in these moments and how loving animals can be. Hope you're both doing well.
Oh Derek, my heart goes out to you and Crystal. I love Coco and immensely enjoyed seeing him in your videos; he was a big part of our Vegan family and he always will be. I’ve rescued cats my entire life and wouldn’t be alive right now if it weren’t for them. They have an amazing tendency to pull you out of even the toughest hardships and pain and I owe everything to companion Animals because of this.
Obviously the hardest part of having a companion Animal in our lives is when they inevitably have to leave us; but they are entirely worth it. In my experience, they give life meaning. I’m so glad I got to be even a small part of Coco’s family while he was with us and I know he’s touched so many lives, as have you and Crystal. Thank you for sharing this with us, it means the world to me that you have such empathy and compassion. It gives me hope and it truly reaches us all. Sending all my love to you both. We love you Coco, rest in absolute peace, my friend.
Heart goes out to you and Crystal on the loss of Coco 💜
Sorry for your loss, as I see Coco had amazing life surrounded by love.
I know this video is 5 months old now but it’s brand new to me and I wanted to send my condolences
I’ve been watching you guys for a few weeks now and you’ve been a huge inspiration to me . Not only with nutrition and exercise but I love
How honest , real and passionate you are about what you do and how you guys share your lives with us .
It inspired me to be a better person
Looking forward to more videos
Sending love from Nyc
