I obviously am not stoked on the whole situation although I don't feel like I have much to say that will add anything to it either. I still have no doubts that the vegan diet is healthful. Of course I will take into account him and his families personal experience with the diet, but that doesn't change my opinion on it. He is not the first nor will he be the last to leave the vegan diet, but for me that doesn't change my personal experience with it, the greater body of evidence showing it is appropriate for or all life stages or the testimonials of the tens of thousands that make up the SN community who are thriving as well. I wish things were different and that he and his family were still vegan, but I will not turn my back on him as a friend as many have demanded I do publicly. While I don't agree with his decision, he is my friend, inspired me to start my channel and helped me to build my career into what it is today. I want him to feel comfortable to come back to me for advice, inspiration and guidance if he ever decides to return to the plant based way of eating.
@@Simnettnutrition You are a good person. I would never ask you to turn your back on someone, nor should others. We are all human, he gave it his best and may return one day. I think at the end of the day, people just don't want to admit they don't care about animals and planet as much as they love they're familar way of life.
I’m glad that you stay authentically to yourself, your routine and what works for you and don’t change things up just for fleeting popularity. Thank you for what you do.
I must say it's actually the very reason why this channel is so helpful. It's not 1000 recipes and in the end I did't try a single one myself. He influenced my eating like no other person in my adult life!
Derek, please, stop overthinking and worrying about the repetitive nature of your vlogs, if anything it shows how far consistency can get us, we are creatures of habit so most people will understand, relate and love anything you put out, as long as you enjoyed making it 💕 👊
Hey Derek! Don’t worry about being “repetitive” or whatever. I enjoy your content, your positivity, inspiration and advice. You make a video and you better believe I’m going to watch it :)
Simnett Nutrition I know this is 2 months old but nothing you do is “repetitive” Derek! This is my favorite channel. I just left the US military in December and have been Vegan ever since. I do Brazilian Ju Jitsu and Muay Thai and people constantly ask me how I am so strong in class and when I tell them what I eat they don’t believe it. I tell them to watch Game Changers and look you up everytime! You’re the best!
I also water my plants in the evening but because I read somewhere that the water droplets sitting on the plant can intensify the sun’s UV light and burn the leaves.
Aww i was feeling a bit meh today but this warmed my heart and put a smile on my face. Your kindness shines through. Loved seeing the wildlife 😍 and food inspo as always!
Congratulations Derek, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a long time now and I just wanted to congratulate you on finally getting half a MILLION subscribers! I’m proud to be one of them. I hope that you celebrate. Celebrate for all the endless hours of footage, editing, and most profoundly for putting yourself here on the internet for us to enjoy and be inspired by your personality and healthy lifestyle. Bring on more content!
"Look at that, that's all red, according to the people that named the vegetables." 😆 You guys are so genuine. Always excited to see when you have a new vid out 🌱🌱🌱
Please never worry about being “repetitive”! We come to your channel for the transparency and wholesome content - you guys always brighten our day a bit 😄 I’ve been struggling the past few weeks (we have been in lockdown, in the house since the beginning of May), so I’ve binged watched your channel and am ready to tackle next week with a new mindset and get moving again! Also, we live in Scotland so are TOTALLY getting bikes thanks to all your videos. Just a way we can enjoy the nature all around us in a different way once we can get back out the house!
I found you a few months ago and you are easily becoming my favorite vegan/plant-based channel. You’re a positive influence for the community. You are crystal are inspiring and really likable individuals. Your content is so refreshing. Keep being your amazing selves!
Thanks! Took sooo long to get the footage. Haha, it was actually with my go pro as I couldn't handle the potato quality of the security cam. It was also at 240 fps so some of it very slow mo, hard to even tell.
@@Simnettnutrition Well done! Using a go pro sounds like a good idea. Our cats died as well (RIP all the cats), so I started feeding birds too and now the back yard is a sort of aquarium of birds. Today a couple of doves were like “where is our food, yo?”, and I think they might want to move in next.
@@uuaschbaer6131 Sorry to hear about that, but you are doing the same thing as us, finding animal love elsewhere. Haha. It's funny you say that about the Doves because the day after Coco passed away we saw the first Mourning Dove around our house just sitting on the driveway. Since then he/she has brought a couple friends and been a consistent character in the backyard community ever since. They are very loud flyers so be prepared to get startled when you walk into the back yard and scare them. Haha.
@@Simnettnutrition I know exactly what you mean haha. They’re like little tandem rotor helicopters when they take off. I was sorry to hear about your cats too. Now it’s other animals’ turn to be cared for, I guess. Wishing you and Crystal strength!
Half a million subscribers. I can't express how happy I am for you, here's to all the hard work and dedication you put into these videos. Much love from Greece !!
I love the fact that his girlfriend is laughting all the time in all the videos she is in, its so special to be having so much fun with your life partner
Derek dude, just said I would drop you a comment which relates to the "these are all red according to the people who name plants" since I did study botany for a couple of years in uni, and had a nerdy interest in anything that could go on my plate. So firstly, the pigment in the red cabbage is an anthocyanin which literally translates from Greek as "dark blue flower".... yes, that is correct, the "red" or "purple" cabbage is coloured by a pigment that is technically blue. Basically the intensity of the anthocyanin's colour is dependent on soil acidity, so in very acidic soil it will be dark blue or purple, as the acidity decreases so too does the intensity of the pigment, meaning at a mid range acidity it may be more reddish in appearance, and then in very alkaline soil it may even be green or yellow, looking more like traditional green cabbage (however, it is not the same plant as green cabbage). So it is very likely that red cabbage originally gained popularity in an area which had mid range soil acidity, causing it to be red in colour, and as a result it got given the name "red cabbage" which has stuck with it as it gained popularity throughout the world, even though it appears purple in most places due to the acidity of the soil. However, the pigment in your red pepper, or capcicum (if you're fancy!) is capsorubin, which is a red xanthophyll (Greek; yellow leaf) and it is a more "true red" colour, and while its intensity can vary, it varies along the yellow spectrum which is why capsicums, when ripe, are either yellow, orange, or red, depending on how strongly this pigment is expressed. I hope this wasn't the most boring comment that you have ever had! It's Saturday morning in Ireland, so I had nothing better to do!
Haha great! Thanks for sharing all this. Yes I actually did know about the anthocyanins I have actually talked about them in past videos. I forget which ones now. And yes, the ph stuff is very cool, thinking about doing a little science experiment in an upcoming video on purp... I mean red cabbage. Thanks for sharing.
After watching your videos for a while, I’ve developed the level of laughter you get out of Crystal. Even if she’s not in the scene and you do/say something funny, I’m like full on Crystal-level laughing. Love you guys. ❤️
@@Simnettnutrition I really want to know if it's safe for a vegan woman to eat a block of tofu every other day. I just started eating it a month ago, been vegan 10 years but never tried it. Well now i love it👍
@@Simnettnutrition I feel you won´t need to do somithing insanly spezial. Maybe do a Q&A Stream and send a Banana to all your subscribers. Pretty easy ;) Love how you handled the jon situatiution BTW just be there for him if he ever thinks about coming back to veganism and be a safe place in youtube. Unlike certian other Channels, that would challenge him to a Cagefight. Keep it up!
Simnett Nutrition thanks Derek, at least it’s something he’s been open about with his doubts, and not a rushed decision for him. I hope he finds the balance that’s best for him, but I will be disappointed if he launches a PR move into the low carb v/blogosphere
@@RedPillVegan Now that he's not a vegan anymore he's just a generic fitness vlog channel. He's so dumb and dishonest that it wouldn't surprise me if he jumps on keto or antivegan movement to get new followers since he lost vegan audience.
@@davorbrijacak He's already being anti-vegan. And now he's going to go on all the anti-vegan carnivore channels for interviews. He's a disappointment, especially how he's now promoting nonveganism.
Your stories are about your vegan lifestyle, what you eat, feel, see, hear, live, experience in and outside of the house. Vlogs are never too long. Keep them rolling!!
Congratulations on reaching 500k subs. You deserve 1M. Keep on rocking that great advice, awesome attitude and closeness to nature. July 4th I'll be at one year of being a vegan, I'm glad I tuned in to your channel. You and Crystal have made this past year fun and entertaining. So glad to be part of your Facebook group and a dedicated fan. Wishing all the best for you. Vegan for life.😊💚🌱 #simnettnutrition
Wanted to come back for a second comment to say that as someone who struggles with routine and consistency, seeing you have a routine especially with your food, is really helpful and somehow really calming. I have this anxiety about "must make food new and exciting" and seeing you make food you love and that works is really helpful. So don't apologize to the people who say change it up! Thank you for showing what works for you!
How is it possible Derek looks more ripped during quarantine? This actually motivated to put the cereal down and watch you vid. Setting up a simnett approved dinner for tonight. You were the the reason I started my journey. Keep it up!🍑🥝🍓🥦🍠
Its so great you are juuust about to hit half a million subscribers... well diserved! This is the kind of positive content that should grow to spread the message.
Man, so close to 500k subscriptions! So happy that your positive message reaches more and more people! I bet you must be among the top 10 RUclipsrs that put out 20 minutes long videos on a regular basis that are watched from the first till the last second by the viewers and not just for the first minute before being skipped. Keep it up! 😊
Derek I love your long videos! At times you mention how you get worried about the length of them but I am always happy to see when you upload a 30 to 40 minute video!
No I won't make a video on it. I have no concerns. Of course I will take into account his and his families personal experience with the diet, but it doesn't change how I feel, my experience with it, the greater body of evidence suggesting it is healthful at all life stages and the tens of thousands who are my audience that are also thriving on it.
@Simnett Nutrition while I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to demand an entire video from you on the Jon situation, I do think it could use some brief addressing (you could even be non specific). It would be nice to see at least one “lifestyle” content creator to address it. One love guys🌱
@@Simnettnutrition the "greater body of evidence" what, opinion from bias "nutritionists". Why don't you listen to a CLOSE FRIEND of yours that is authentically expressing the health benefits of animal products in your diet.
Love watching you guys I've learned so much at the age of 50. Thank you. I've had autoimmune thyroid disease for half my life and my health has improved greatly eating this way especially green smoothies 4x a day inc chia, fruit and flax. So cute seeing squirrels and humming birds. Don't have either here in Australia.
I love these " what I eat in a day" videos, they are super helpful and give me ideas of different foods to eat. So thank you so much. Please continue to make these videos. Thanks again, I'm forever a fan.
I never get bored with your cooking meals I love all that vibrant colorful vegs! A longer bike ride or nature would be great! Thanks see you next time!
So close to 500k! Love to see your channel getting so much support! You guys are awesome. Showing how veganism doesnt have to be so complex. Whole plant foods...and you make it fun :)
Love your videos! 😊 I have no problem at all with you making similar meals everytime. I appreciate the honesty and it is still very fun and interesting to watch ❤️
What for absolutely amazing shots of those hummingbirds. So clever to put your camera next to the feeder. I wish we would have these wonderfull creatures in Germany.Thank you so much for inserting those shots :)
I havnt watched your channel in a while but have to say your energy is as uplifting as i remember. Thanks for putting a smile on my face Derek. Also youre looking super strong and healthy! 🌱💪
Derek Thankk you!! So much for not being inhumane to the mice they are just animals who mean no harm and are trying to survive!! Thank you for the humane traps and I have a long time now I subscribed I find your videos very fun and enjoyable thank you for being genuine!! And being yourself!!
Thanks for another great video Derek! Your videos never get old - they’re such a ray of positivity and good vibes - not to mention motivating. Oh and I may have LOL’d like 5 times - like when you pointed out that red onion, red bell pepper and red cabbage are all supposedly “red” 😂- Oh and I love crystal’s laugh!! 💜💜
I'll never let that go! Like are we going to call those hearts you left us red? No, they are purple. Well according to the vegetable namers we would. 🤪 Glad we gave you a chuckle.
Ok great idea about mixing the pasta types for variety. You guys are funny together while filming. Makes for good watching! So enjoy watching and seeing your ideas for meals!
Nice video. Love your food choices and lifestyle. You got in a home workout, a bike ride, vegan food, and gardening all in a day. So much good stuff. Hummingbirds and squirrels are nice too.
I cracked up multiple times during the vid (especially the MJ reference). This half hour had it all, gourmet dishes, education with the watermelon radish, wildlife and sports.
Hey Derek, great video as always! I’ve been watching for a few years and your recipes are not boring. I appreciate your consistency and authenticity. Thank you so much for being yourself and sharing this amazing info with us !
I’m down to 171 lbs so as of today I have been vegan for 1 year and weigh less than I have in about 6 years! My diet change was made because of a lot of factors and different people but your channel has been a major inspiration and source of information for me this last year! I look better than I ever have and feel better too! So thank you for the inspiration and information and keep being you because the world needs your level headed responses and positive attitude! Love you man (I also just got that protein powder, the salted maca caramel and the açaí blueberry. Both are delicious and the fermented protein really is easy on the stomach)
You guys are so inspiring on so many different levels, the world definitely needs more people like you! I'm so appreciative of for your content and the motivation to live a simpler, healthier all around in the moment lifestyle. 🤘🦄❤
Love the caterpillar, squirrel, hummingbirds, natural aspect to your garden ... amazing, environmentally friendly is the best way to go........ Also, ‘you should’ spend more time with your shoes off outside, be careful of course, but you will ‘ground yourself’ with your shoes off 👍🏻 look up Grounding and Earthing, (scientifically researched). Food looks amazing, mouth watering veg and salad stuff ... WOW ... fantastic ideas to try out. Thanks for sharing, Steve, UK 🙏😊 🐝
I’m still trying with my new journey on plant based! Basically I’ll eat oatmeal with walnuts! Flaxseed! Protein powder! For lunch I’ll make a fruit smoothie and a avocado! Tofu! Hummus rap! Thank you 🙏 for everything you do to help us! Like me! More help the better!
I love the longer videos and the foods you eat! It has inspired me to start adding things to my diet I did not already have and I have gained so much knowledge watching your videos! Thank you!!
Excellent video Derek! You are the food artist! I just sent this video to my friend who is recovering from cancer. Again. She is just starting on her journey towards plant-based Wellness of course her two doctors do not have a clue. I spent three hours last night getting her started on reading food labels and watching RUclips channels towards Whole Food plant-based lifestyle. Thanks for all your great work
6:00 keeping it real! Thank you for staying true to what works. I have the same breakfast every day for years. I love it, crave it and thrive off of it. Why change? You rock and your repetition makes me feel good about my own. Keep it going and I will keep giving the virtual high fives each time :)
I'm so glad u know to change the hummingbird feeder every few days, bc moldy water will kill them. Also, thanks for sharing them enjoying their fresh water 😊💖

The vegan world needed this wholesome content from you. ❤️ so much goodness in one place.
Watering your garden at night, when the temperature is lower, helps limit how much water evaporates.
Yes good call!
I also water my plants in the evening but because I read somewhere that the water droplets sitting on the plant can intensify the sun’s UV light and burn the leaves.
True. But it also increases a lot the probability of growing weeds and fungus. Not a good idea, in general.
I'd be careful with that as it increases the risk of attracting snails.
LOVE his Consistency and that he doesn't change for the sake of "Views" 💯🌱

Derek I love your long videos! At times you mention how you get worried about the length of them but I am always happy to see when you upload a 30 to 40 minute video!
Your bike trail footage in the forest is super calming.
One day my feet will come off the ground on my dips LOL
Awesome seeing you get stronger!
I appreciate the consistency, it is like a familiar place to relax when feeling down. Also, I appreciate the wildlife and nature content.
Are you going to make a video on the whole Jon Venus situation. It really concerns me and wondering if you have any of the same concerns he does?
No I won't make a video on it. I have no concerns. Of course I will take into account his and his families personal experience with the diet, but it doesn't change how I feel, my experience with it, the greater body of evidence suggesting it is healthful at all life stages and the tens of thousands who are my audience that are also thriving on it.
@Simnett Nutrition while I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to demand an entire video from you on the Jon situation, I do think it could use some brief addressing (you could even be non specific). It would be nice to see at least one “lifestyle” content creator to address it. One love guys🌱
@@Simnettnutrition the "greater body of evidence" what, opinion from bias "nutritionists". Why don't you listen to a CLOSE FRIEND of yours that is authentically expressing the health benefits of animal products in your diet.
Thanks for being such a positive influence in the Plant Based Movement. I love your positive attitude. Keep up the great work! 👍
Thoughts on Jon leaving veganism?
Answered in the pinned comment.
Love watching you guys I've learned so much at the age of 50. Thank you. I've had autoimmune thyroid disease for half my life and my health has improved greatly eating this way especially green smoothies 4x a day inc chia, fruit and flax. So cute seeing squirrels and humming birds. Don't have either here in Australia.
You don’t see many arms like those on vegans
Simnett FDOE videos are literally the best on RUclips! 😄🌱 always helps me keep my motivation to stay healthy
Oh wow thank you! I do put a lot of work into them so I am glad you see that. I waited hours for the hummingbird footage 🤣
Simnett Nutrition I was just going to comment that the hummingbird waltz totally made my day 😍
I love these " what I eat in a day" videos, they are super helpful and give me ideas of different foods to eat. So thank you so much. Please continue to make these videos. Thanks again, I'm forever a fan.
Can we just stop a while and appreciate Krista? She is glowing!
I, for one, am always looking forward to your eat in a day and don’t find it repetitive at all :)
I enjoyed this very much. The humming bird cam is so cool. The appreciation of good food and the gorgeous sunset was so up lifting.
I never get bored with your cooking meals I love all that vibrant colorful vegs! A longer bike ride or nature would be great! Thanks see you next time!
So close to 500k! Love to see your channel getting so much support! You guys are awesome. Showing how veganism doesnt have to be so complex. Whole plant foods...and you make it fun :)
I like how you're always full of energy
Love your videos! 😊 I have no problem at all with you making similar meals everytime. I appreciate the honesty and it is still very fun and interesting to watch ❤️
What for absolutely amazing shots of those hummingbirds. So clever to put your camera next to the feeder. I wish we would have these wonderfull creatures in Germany.Thank you so much for inserting those shots :)
I havnt watched your channel in a while but have to say your energy is as uplifting as i remember. Thanks for putting a smile on my face Derek. Also youre looking super strong and healthy! 🌱💪
Crystal laughing is the best😄
Derek Thankk you!! So much for not being inhumane to the mice they are just animals who mean no harm and are trying to survive!! Thank you for the humane traps and I have a long time now I subscribed I find your videos very fun and enjoyable thank you for being genuine!! And being yourself!!
Derek - we love your personality! You had us cracking up several times during this video. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and beautiful food!
Honestly one of the most wholesome channels on youtube❤️
I love your subtle humour! Your videos are really entertaining and dear.
I love the energy you and crystal bring into videos!
I don't know what it is about your videos, they always make my mood great and motivate me! Love them, you're doing such a great job!
Thanks for another great video Derek! Your videos never get old - they’re such a ray of positivity and good vibes - not to mention motivating. Oh and I may have LOL’d like 5 times - like when you pointed out that red onion, red bell pepper and red cabbage are all supposedly “red” 😂-
Oh and I love crystal’s laugh!! 💜💜
I'll never let that go! Like are we going to call those hearts you left us red? No, they are purple. Well according to the vegetable namers we would. 🤪 Glad we gave you a chuckle.
Ok great idea about mixing the pasta types for variety. You guys are funny together while filming. Makes for good watching! So enjoy watching and seeing your ideas for meals!
Nice video. Love your food choices and lifestyle. You got in a home workout, a bike ride, vegan food, and gardening all in a day. So much good stuff. Hummingbirds and squirrels are nice too.
I loved the whole video. Especially the humming birds and squirrel.
I cracked up multiple times during the vid (especially the MJ reference). This half hour had it all, gourmet dishes, education with the watermelon radish, wildlife and sports.
I FREAKING LOVE the humming bird shots!!! SO beautiful!!! :)
Hey Derek, great video as always! I’ve been watching for a few years and your recipes are not boring. I appreciate your consistency and authenticity. Thank you so much for being yourself and sharing this amazing info with us !
I like the vibe of this channel. Really fun and positive.
I’m down to 171 lbs so as of today I have been vegan for 1 year and weigh less than I have in about 6 years! My diet change was made because of a lot of factors and different people but your channel has been a major inspiration and source of information for me this last year! I look better than I ever have and feel better too! So thank you for the inspiration and information and keep being you because the world needs your level headed responses and positive attitude! Love you man (I also just got that protein powder, the salted maca caramel and the açaí blueberry. Both are delicious and the fermented protein really is easy on the stomach)
You guys are so inspiring on so many different levels, the world definitely needs more people like you! I'm so appreciative of for your content and the motivation to live a simpler, healthier all around in the moment lifestyle. 🤘🦄❤
Consistency is a great thing!!
Loved the garden tour. I started a garden this year and have been watching a lot more gardening videos lately.
Yes, stay consistant! What were they thinking wanting u to change what ur doing. Good lord 😯
Thanks for all ur help Derek. U r such a huge help!!
Consistency is key indeed, don't worry man! A video from you is always worth it
Love the caterpillar, squirrel, hummingbirds, natural aspect to your garden ... amazing, environmentally friendly is the best way to go........ Also, ‘you should’ spend more time with your shoes off outside, be careful of course, but you will ‘ground yourself’ with your shoes off 👍🏻 look up Grounding and Earthing, (scientifically researched).
Food looks amazing, mouth watering veg and salad stuff ... WOW ... fantastic ideas to try out.
Thanks for sharing, Steve, UK 🙏😊 🐝
I’m still trying with my new journey on plant based! Basically I’ll eat oatmeal with walnuts! Flaxseed! Protein powder! For lunch I’ll make a fruit smoothie and a avocado! Tofu! Hummus rap! Thank you 🙏 for everything you do to help us! Like me! More help the better!
Love your garden and the hummingbird cam. Made your smoothie bowl last night for a snack. Never tired of seeing it get made.
Fantastic hummingbird video! Well done.
I love the longer videos and the foods you eat! It has inspired me to start adding things to my diet I did not already have and I have gained so much knowledge watching your videos! Thank you!!
LOVED THIS VIDEO :) PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING. LOVE THE HUMMING BIRDS AND SQUIRRESL SUPER CUTE!!! BOTH OF YOU ARE AMZING, WONDERFUL AND ONE OF A KIND.
Excellent video Derek! You are the food artist! I just sent this video to my friend who is recovering from cancer. Again. She is just starting on her journey towards plant-based Wellness of course her two doctors do not have a clue. I spent three hours last night getting her started on reading food labels and watching RUclips channels towards Whole Food plant-based lifestyle. Thanks for all your great work
6:00 keeping it real! Thank you for staying true to what works. I have the same breakfast every day for years. I love it, crave it and thrive off of it. Why change? You rock and your repetition makes me feel good about my own. Keep it going and I will keep giving the virtual high fives each time :)
Michael Jackson 😆😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣And Derek in the garden, with Crystal laughing. lol 😂
Love the nature break and all the critter shots!
I'm so glad u know to change the hummingbird feeder every few days, bc moldy water will kill them. Also, thanks for sharing them enjoying their fresh water 😊💖
loved the footage of the hummingbirds! you and crystal always put a smile on my face :)
Great video, love the squirrel and hummingbirds ... also the great laugh
