WHAT I EAT IN A DAY TO SUCCEED ON MY VEGAN DIET!

[@felixplantstrong2361]

Derek is kinda like that best friend to me. When ever I'm down I come over here and it helps me through the day. Thank you💚

[@Simnettnutrition]

Awe, that means a lot to me. Thanks friend!

[@stephikarolyi8706]

Derek definitely has a contagious positivity about him! I always stop by his channel to cheer up and try some new recipes

[@Larpeggio]

That's sweet but it might be a good idea to find a real best friend.

[@Dark_Signss]

Seriously man, your videos are absolute gold, keep spreading the positivity and knowledge and all the best to you and Crystal in the future! Also, just to clear up the confusion regarding the yams, for the most part the potatoes labeled “yams” sold in the United States (and I assume Canada) are not yams, but a softer variety of sweet potato. Real yams, grown in Africa and Asia, are actually completely unrelated to sweet potatoes and have dark skin and usually white flesh.

[@aidenross6919]

my dude, I gotta say, you've been an inspiration. been watching your vids for a little over a month now. been vegan nearly 5 years now. I get the impression that your videos are focused on trying to motivate/help/advise/mentor(?) either newly converted vegans or trying to entice people to convert (nothing wrong with that at all, of course!) but might be nice for you to know that you're also helping medium-to-long term vegans reinvent their meals and lifestyle choices. feeling reaffirmed in my veganism. thanks bro and keep up the amazing work! subscribed! (of course!!!) :)

[@Simnettnutrition]

Awesome! I am just here showing what I do, hopefully to help and inspire others, no matter where they are in their health journey! Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it.

[@zacryan8333]

Thanks a ton. Never knew vegan/vegetarians can have sexy n healthy fit body with having tasty dishes. Keep it up man. U r an big influence and inspiration, for all vegans and vegetarians all over the globe.

[@carolbutler3896]

Hi Derek, could you pls consider doing a shopping for food video. I know you did one before at Costco and a few other stores but those videos are fun to watch . People go crazy for that stuff lol. Thanks for your time , and thanks for showing me that being vegan is amazing , you're the reason I went vegan ( 7 months now ) . Have an amazing day :)

[@sabchatelain5249]

Well done Derek, your positivity is the best

[@RedPillVegan]

Great concept. You see people struggling in the community and show them how it's done.

[@consciousobserver629]

I feel the same way about eating out! I make better food myself (and without the processed foods, toxins, contaminants, etc.). I typically feel very disappointed if I do eat out unless it's a vegan joint that primarily cooks with organic whole foods.

[@michellehetzel8558]

You definitely teach us how to succeed! Not only showing us what foods are good and why but recipes along with formulas to make our own... AND a free meal planner? If I had a dog I'd show him this video. You are appreciated.

[@natalialopes719]

That is some gorgeous, appetizing food. That last platter is just gorgeous!!

[@sabhasareer402]

Your personality just makes these videos sm better 💗

[@InstinctPunk777]

Hi Im Vegan for 16 years now , but due to lack of excercise and too much white bread , fried food I got overweight lately , thanks for amazing recipies and inspiration , even after a such a long time as Vegan you can learn new things . Trying to get back in shape :)

[@MarieJohnson]

That sauce on the salad!! Also loved the intro on this one and love Crystal!

[@mindsetwithmarie676]

I just started on my plant-based vegan diet and your videos are so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing. I am starting out slow, crowding out the bad food (I have tendancy to become obsessive over what I eat so I don't restrict anything). I feel good about all the real food I am putting in my body! I seriously look forward to my plant-based meals and I've learned so much from you! Keep up the good work! 👏👏

[@buddyfaya8631]

I think the best thing about his videos is his good positive happy humble energy... great info too

[@TinKoRlol]

I hope you stay as you are. The content you make is on point. Youre always bringing good vibes into my mood. Im a subscriber for what? 5 days? and already learned so much. Thank you from Germany

[@fabfourfever674]

Thank you so much for your free meal planning guide, Derek. 😘 I am not a cook, and my meals tend to be terribly boring/simple and not as tasty as I like..so I hope your planner can help. Thank you for your generosity and for showing us your amazing meals. xx

[@terikeimusic]

Love your videos ! you're a big inspiration for me 😇💕 go on, wish luck with your gains 👍💪

[@amandagalli5918]

I enjoy watching your videos. You’re so positive.

[@josephwu5636]

I find it really funny that I still click into Derek's food videos already knowing exactly what he's going to eat. I just click because I simply love watching you! You've got an amazing personality that's genuine and filled with joy. Definitely makes my day better knowing that a new video is out. Much love

[@PLNTR]

Looks super nice! And very generous of you giving that planner away for free! Definitely gonna try it!

[@alexanderfiedler6844]

i am vegan for over a year now. you just motivated me to integrate those tasty salat dressings in my diet again. I kinda forgot about them over the year!

[@akskills101]

You know you watch a lot of Simnett Nutrition videos when you roll the lemon before cutting it! Nice vid, will try out some of these recipes.

[@Bloxeh]

... when you make your own salad dressings 🥗

[@jayrosemond]

Hey Derek thanks so much man for the free ebook , you are really looking out for us. I'm so looking forward to trying these recipes out. I find it hard at times to come up with ideas for meals so thank you jeep up the good work Derek.

[@urbancouturejewelry845]

Just wanted to say I never considered going vegan until I started watching your channel. I'm more of a ovo vegetarian and having trouble making the transition. I love the positive vibe you & Crystal have! 💙

[@nathannorman4273]

Your the man Derek! Thanks for this gift! We got your cookbook as well and its awesome! Cant wait till you publish another book!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks brother!

[@ellefinneck889]

I absolutely love your videos! My husband and I are vegan and working on starting weight training to build muscle and get healthier! Your recipes are awesome! Crystal is so pretty and yall are so cute together! Have a great day!

[@HenchHerbivore]

I need to get more cinematic! Great job bro!

[@infiniteoptimal]

Hench Herbivore is best to have a mixture. Keep balanced. You’re awesome!! love your stuff!! I want to ask do you take mushroom extracts apart from in Vivo?

[@HenchHerbivore]

@@infiniteoptimal thanks bro! I've enjoyed chaga in the past. Not tried any others yet but would love to!

[@kathleenkenworthy2324]

Your presentations are always really good!!!! This was stupendous

[@LIVEKINDLY]

Serious fitness and food inspiration! 💪

[@jordanwatts290]

Derek you're such a great dude in all forms of life! I hope one day I can make such a difference in so many people like you have.

[@jemoriegolombeski6943]

That's really nice and cool of you to make the E-book for free! It really just goes to show that you just want people to be healthy and happy

[@MPSatterfield]

WOW! Thanks for the E-book link! Love watching your videos and your recipes. Spending the day writing some down in order to do some grocery shopping! :)

[@nogravity6089]

Hi Derek! THANKS a lot for that amazing free ebook

[@yod4poolman]

Oh man, I had gotten some chili going earlier today already in the crockpot, but am definitely going to try it with yam fries! I added chopped tempeh and liquid smoke to mine. That presentation was on point, too! Looking forward to the e-book. Thanks for all you do!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Great idea, liquid smoke would have made mine next level!

[@danieldefontes2810]

Derek, the Salad recipes are super helpful. Always trying to get more greens in without sacrificing taste, and definitely gonna be super helpful in staying lean this summer 😝

[@andrewbrock4636]

It's all about the salad game!

[@anadaone1877]

Very comfy video! I enjoyed it very much, thank you for the free e-book, definitely reading it! And I should start implementing those sauces...

[@uthydowuthydow7987]

Its official. I am addicted to your vids. Thank you so much for the ideas! ☺

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Sending positivity from Japan from one Canadian to the next.

[@Brandie-Nicole]

I love when Crystal is in your videos! I already subscribed so I guess now I have to make some yam fries and show my dog, lolol.

[@balancedhealthybody2362]

The last meal was the best! I want to make it for dinner 😍 thanks for sharing!💓

[@viks57]

Gracias Derek! Definetly I am going to try that dinner tonight! Look so good!

[@SophieKopf]

Hey Derek! Super helpful and inspiring video as always! I surprised my boyfriend for dinner yesterday with some grilled veggies, curried squash and potato mash, totally Simnett Nutrition approved! Thank you for motivating both of us, we are still watching most of your videos while eating together lol!

[@an7d7y]

East coast NS here 🇨🇦 Great vids dude! Thanks for sharing and giving me ideas for my fresh diet vegan 🌱 lifestyle , keep up the rad videos !

[@pembie7859]

Hi Derek, thank you for making all the videos. They have helped me to get back to eating more plant based meals. I made your banana protein pancakes this morning 😉.

[@EduSantosDesigner]

Maaan, if i can give you a tip: Cinnamon powder for the chilli. Tastes awesome. Thank you for the vidddd cheers from Brazil

[@hicutiecar]

I think we could all pretty much watch you cook all day! :) Question: when you guys go to the grocery store, do you usually get pretty much the same things each time or do you always vary it? And do you shop for recipes or for just winging it at each meal? You know, if you're thinking about doing another one, I seem to be unable to get enough of a good grocery haul video. Such a weird addiction! Thanks for another great one, man.

[@Simnettnutrition]

We are at the point where we buy pretty much the same thing. We live in Canada and there is not a huge variety of vegan foods, meaning new things to try (faux meats, cheese, that kind of thing). We also don't live near a whole foods, so we shop mostly at Superstore and Costco and a health food store local to us. We may try something new if we see it, but we stay to mostly whole foods, which means we pretty much buy the same thing every trip haha we buy bulk groceries and do not meal/recipe plan, we just get what we need and make the meals we feel like having. We used to make larger dinners and save the leftovers for our work lunches but never recipe planned.

[@hicutiecar]

@@Simnettnutrition Thanks!

[@SantiagoUscocovich1]

Make a vid doing some compound barbell exercises. Deadlifts, bench, overhead press, etc.. it would be interesting to see how your calisthenics training has built up your strength on those exercises.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yeah, I am not a huge lifter, so it would not be very impressive haha. I don't ever rep out 1 rep maxes or anything or calculate my numbers on the big lifts!

[@jamiegosselin2256]

New comment on an old video. But I just had to! Derrick, I love how excited you get for your meals. They look fantastic!

[@tarbon540]

We got an Instant Pot on sale for $90 (a mid range model). Since then have never bought canned beans again. You can go from dried to cooked in about 20-30mins depending on which bean. If you overnight soak it's about 6-8mins cooking time. I'll batch cook 2 cups of dried beans and have enough to cook 2+ family meals. Plus it can do all kinds of other things. We also heavily use the overnight timer to wake up to cooked steel cut oats on mornings we have to be out the door early. If your a mass bean consumer, it's such a worthy investment and time saver. Suss them out (Amazon / Canadian Tire etc...) and get them on sale! Nice video Derek and thanks for the freebie ebook!!

[@santiagojaramillo7296]

Hi man... Thank you very much for yours advices... I'm doing my transition to vegan diet at least on weekends 😬😬, cause I'm trying to doing gradually.. ( It's not to easy transforms the world around you in one click).....the point is people like you promotes better lifestyle with ourselves and world in general (wich is awesome and I congratulate you because of that)... Something funny is: almost everything you're eating is comming from a tropical country like mine (Colombia), but paradoxically we don't use to eat in a responsible way inclusive having a paradise of food...thanks to inspire the world with you good vibes and sharing knowledge about it.. 💪💪💪

[@michellegousios566]

I found your channel and have been watching all your videos . Love your recipes!!! I'm not vegan at the moment but have been trying to learn as much as I can since I'd like to try it.

[@kennethmcclure6388]

Derek, totally love and appreciate your channel, it has been a vegan-lifesaver at times! I have a question about this vid, you said the tempeh didn't need cooking, but when I have made tempeh the instructions were to make sure it is cooked to kill the Rhizopus mould, which could be harmful. Do you know anything about this? Maybe it's homemade tempeh vs store bought, but certainly wouldn't like people to get stomach upsets. Much appreciation for your steadiness and consistency within the V-community! K

[@bunnykinsswanson]

So excited to make this chilli! I'm doing 'take the veg pledge' for the UKs Cancer Reasearch this month and you make it so easy!

[@caleb7107]

These meals look absolutely delicious, I've learned that soaking your sweet potato fries in water for a few hours helps them have an even better texture when you bake them off, something to do with getting some of the starch off!

[@willmcgregor7184]

That dish looked Great. So many cuisines are easily made PB. We don’t eat v often either because it’s usually under whelming & home made is better, cheaper etc

[@mariavictoriaculotta246]

I've been binge watching your what I eat in a day videos so badly!

[@MITTEL.PUNKT_13]

Done everything today 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Thanx, Derek. From Germany

[@tracyervin6542]

Okay, so we are chanting your name right now, lol. I would have never thought of adding sweet potatoes and greens to chili! Amazing I tell you!!! I seasoned my sweet potato fries with turmeric and pepper and ginger! So good!!! Best chili ever ❤️. Thank you 😊

[@Remember-ShabanAl-Dalou]

Good on you Derek for the ebook !

[@candicecrawford2996]

Incredible video! Can’t wait to try that Chili and yam dinner! Yummy! More of Crystal please- you two have incredible energy together. It’s makes me so happy to see you guys interact. ❤️🌈😍

I’m not vegan but me and my husband are slowly trying to change our diets and cut out meat and dairy. We bought your e book and your energy bars are soooooo delicious lol

Derek, your've gotten better at your food plating skills. looking good buddy! In the winter time I like to add warm water / warm almond milk in my shakes. Thanks for another great vid!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Haha, awesome!

[@yod4poolman]

I was like "ground flax!" but avocado works too :)

[@Firebuck]

@@yod4poolman Ground flax was my thought too. I especially like it the next day -- very nice consistency -- since I usually make a batch that lasts two days.

[@Chameleon569]

that dinner meal, holly shit !!! I'm gonna make this for our guests next week....soo beautiful. Awesome video, lot of work went it this...in kitchen and and PC :) Thanks your creating the book for us, you are an amazing person and deserve only the best to happen to yo

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you!

[@akamaster09]

I must say, This is one great guy.

[@Steftag]

I have seen quite some of your 'what I eat in a day ' videos, but I think this one turned out to be especially good. I laughed my ass off in some places (drinking the sauce, the entire scene with Crystal) and I could even relate to some things (getting cold from a smoothie bowl, 'every damn time the best meal I've ever had'). Thank you for inspiration and keep up with the good work! By the way, after long doubting I introduced parsley to my smoothie bowls and been giving a try to my friends as well; now smoothie bowl without some parsley just does not seem right!

[@gregp716]

Your WIEIAD videos are my favourite. They really inspire me

Hey Derek, I'm loving your content, sir! You've really helped out my girlfriend and me transition to being vegan. I did want to ask, how do you handle the bloating that comes with eating all this greens, beans, and etc. That's an issue we're having. Thanks for your help!

[@doctorjamos2096]

Thanks for all your videos and inspiration! I'm so hungry now!!

[@fatcobra54]

Nice idea for the chili I’m on that this week.

[@ScarecrOmega]

My grocery has yams and sweet potatoes right beside each other so that they overlap and there is no clue which one is which. Do yams, sweet potatoes and Japanese yams all taste pretty much the same? Also, Dr Greger says more nutrition is retained when you boil the sweet potatoes instead of baking them.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Dr. Greger can shut it! HAah, joking, he is correct and amazing! It's a gentler way to cook them, but you've gotta have some fun in life! No, they all have different tastes for sure. Japanese yams are so nice!
