Apple with almond butter is the best snack!!😍

[@oliviafagin293]

This is the most wholesome and pure vlog I've ever seen. You are GOALS.

[@kevinsoncuya5461]

you make me want to go to Vancouver! awesome bike and smoothie content!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes come visit! It's awesome.

[@sixxergixxerbri1822]

just ordered some vivo perform salted maca caramel and used your discount code...love the content man keep up the good work

[@leagraf757]

I aaaalways think of you when drinking my daily lemon water :P !!

[@Simnettnutrition]

I'm in your head!

[@leagraf757]

yeah :D

[@raylenegoodman7817]

Yuuuuummmmm!

[@dickinsontanner]

"Because I can make food better than anyone else can." hahahaha but seriously that's my same response

[@Simnettnutrition]

It is so true.

[@CompostWatcher]

True. Except for my friend’s cooking- hers is really good.

[@EmCros]

The fact that two strangers are that nice to each other is the most Canadian thing ever. Love it.

[@LarryVasquez82]

Emlyn Crosby yeah and at one point the stranger helped recording too. Weird to see 2 stranger bonding and trust so quickly. Canada seems like a nice place to live :')

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yah it is pretty amazing. I love living here.

[@danaward9975]

Simnett Nutrition I was crying because literally even the bunny was nice!😍 Bunnies where I live see the glimpse of a human and dart in the other direction😂 so cute!

[@vandamme6379]

Canada...the Big Scotland! ♡

[@evanbarnes9984]

Also mountain bikers and rock climbers. I feel like I'm usually about to make some new friends if I run into some strangers at the crag or on the trail. Seriously this is making me wish I were in Canada, strangers just aren't usually that friendly to each other in the SF bay area

[@sharonp.6505]

Your spontaneity is so refreshing. Your ability to fully experience every moment (even the inconvenient moments) is such a gift. When I watch your videos I'm inspired to stop overthinking everything and live my life to the fullest every day!

[@li82li]

this guy can make friends even in a middle of nowhere in forest=)) what a nice person)

[@haveabeer123]

Yeah nice personality even though his face could make it into the bad guy in a James Bond movie.

[@gGadget]

How to improve appetite STEP 1: watch any of Derek's What I Eat videos. STEP 2: there is only step 1.

[@nicholasvarro7382]

Hey Derek! I'm still vegan strong since 9/1/17 thanks to you and won't go back. My skin is not as dry and seems to have a golden look maybe... not many of my circle of friends are on board with the whole vegan thing, lots of mocking from them lol and I have noticed my body fat has gone done. (Slowly tho, better than any other diet I have tried to get cut). Just some data I've noticed and wanted to share. Thanks again and for the great content!

[@vidavegana]

SALSA VALENTINA!!! DUUUDE! That´s like a staple for kid´s snacks here in Mexico! So cool they sell it over there in Canada :D Love your content btw!

[@SpencerKeife]

Derek, thank you for all your amazing content. You are an inspiration to everyone out there. I appreciate you responding to the email I sent you. I cant wait to get started on my own channel and continue the education of vegan body building. I have only been doing it for a few months but the results are insane! I cant wait to share my message. Again, you have probably had one of the biggest impacts on my life. You gave me a wake up call. I had tunnel vision for so long thinking that meat and dairy is critical to my health but after following you and you journey I see that is just not true. I am excited to see what my future looks like and hopefully I can have the impact on changing lives that you have.

[@natejames676]

Would you be down to do some short 'workout for beginner' videos so people can start how you started? i would be super interested.

[@LikeRustedWings]

The guy you rode up with (Dan?) seemed soooo nice!! Glad y'all had fun! Love your videos

[@Simnettnutrition]

He was so nice. We had a great time

[@RoyceGetit]

Derrick please come out with a grocery list of healthy shit. Been incorporating fruits and vegetables in my diet thanks to your channel but every time I'm in the store im like... What do I need again? And I find myself skimming through your videos lol. A list would be great. Organized from fruits , vegetables and nuts and a small explanation on its health benefits and maybe what part of the day you usually eat it. Then you could make it downloadable and charge us for it. Thanks!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Okay great! Will do. Haha, then charge us for it. Lol. I'm just finishing up my ebook, maybe I'll make it some free addition or something. I appreciate the suggestion man!

[@sihlemasinda]

Yes please!!

[@eyoung506]

Great idea. I would love to see this.

[@RoyceGetit]

Simnett Nutrition lol you go out of your way for us the least we can do is pay for something and show our support. Your at the point where your changing people's lives. The quality of your videos, the editing, the angles you place your camera while running or biking and you obviously have to go back for it lol, the quantity, but most of all the knowledge and positivity you spread. You go the extra mile for us. Time to reap some benefits man. Push out some merch, start your own brand. I know everything is not about money but the fitness world has a deadline so you gotta get yours while you can. Anyways good luck on your success and I wish nothing but the best 🤙

[@followerofgms8294]

91ROYO stupid u can study Dr sebi a healer on food for free

[@dansmith6856]

Just got my first batch of Vivolife I'm so excited to try it out! You got some beautiful shots of the Canadian mountain scenery

[@Simnettnutrition]

Awesome Dan, I am stoked for you!

[@serhii_dovhan]

Yeah, you are so lucky to live next to incredible nature :)

[@taylorkoob2109]

spit my water out when you flew off the slack line lol sorry it hurt

[@Simnettnutrition]

It was funny, I don't blame you!

[@isaab9368]

Valentina is one of my favorite hot sauces in Mexico!! Try it with oven backed potato chips and its perfect, or with popcorn 🍿🍿

[@GuillaumeFeelgood]

5:10 > Just because you're flying well 😁

[@briannemuise7856]

My cat loves blue berries and acai. Once i finished a smoothie bowl walked away for a second and my cat had licked my bowl clean! Had to go a quick google to make sure he was okay with eating that hahah

[@queeniebaggins3732]

I always over fill my burrito's and end up eating it off the plate....I never learn 😐

[@TheClyde1993]

Modestly Vegan Same Here bro. The struggle...

[@CompostWatcher]

Queenie Baggins cute

[@lolnuckle]

enjoyed your vlog, i really think you should add "Bunny whisperer" to your Bio :D

[@reidsmith4633]

I didn't intend to watch the whole video but your energy is so addicting.

[@fabfourfever674]

So envy you and Crystal, Derek. Canada is beautiful, the strangers are lovely, and even the bunnies are nice! It's beautiful here in the States, but depending on where you live, some of the people..meh.. 😒 And the bunnies run away over here.. 😞 Anyway.. as always, I enjoy watching you do what you do.. and I also want to mention how amazing I think your editing skills are. I have no idea how you get the shots that you do. It often feels like *someone else* is filming you, and the presentation is good enough for this to be on tv.. I swear. Anyway.. Thanks, again, for taking us along on your day, Derek. 😊 xx

[@teambreezy9224]

I love your eyes. They are shining like the sky. ❤

[@loganmcgiboney4961]

You rock dude. I got a question for ya- if you had to get a new car, what would you get??? Just curious! I just sold my Isuzu amigo for s Nissan Frontier.. tough decision and hard to make peace with lettin the amigo go!

[@mountainview1338]

Sir I am so with you on the eating out. I don’t have vegan restaurants where I live. When I go out and get the vegan options I just think about how I could make this 10 times better at home. Today is my birthday and I am still going to cook at home. (It probably won’t be as healthy today though haha)

[@Simnettnutrition]

Happy Birthday! Mine is in a few days and I'm grumbling over which restaurant to choose for my big birthday dinner. I feel the exact same way.

[@danaward9975]

Aww my birthday is next week and I'm probably going to make some vegan tacos at home!😂

[@fromemilie]

Happy birthday 😁

[@MGM88123]

My passion for road cycling was intense then my boyfriend introduced me to MTB and that passion is even stronger. You can't beat getting exercise while embracing the beauty of nature.

[@williamsonoftom7257]

That slack line bit was hilarious LOL! Glad you didn't die 😳 Here bro: How To Roll the Perfect Burrito: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKCXZIN9gqx2ebs Enjoy! :)

[@neo_ecom]

Welcome back to your home! I Have the same pull up bar set up build in my back yard! I also have dumbbells but i definitely have to get that rope to make it complete! That looks awesome!

[@kellywright7800]

I love your channel!! You and Crystal (hope I spelled that correctly) are so inspiring! I have been back and forth on a whole food diet for over a year and more recently have had to stick with it for health reasons (not that I didn't want to eat this way it was just easier because I had no support), I have begun a cardio and beginner calesthenic routine and a lot of that I can say is because of you!! You are a great source of motivation and your motto of just get out there and move really has helped me to do just that! So thank you for being who you are, much love from sunny south Florida!!

[@dom3952]

Some question about yor sleep pattern 😊 How long do you sleep during the day and when are you going to sleep? Regards from Germany 👋🏻

[@Mcstacertons]

I really want to travel to Canada from the US one day. Really beautiful there. Also, I love it how you enjoy your food so much.

[@tristanking9455]

It's great to see you back in Canada! I love seeing another part of the continent. Regards from Oklahoma.

[@fabian4083]

Can you make a video pls where you make some vegan meals Btw I will make a bamboo pull up bar like yours cause I finally found today ones 💪

[@Simnettnutrition]

AWesome. Just don't let the bamboo split. That's what happened to mine. I drilled the holes too small and had to hammer the bolts in and it split right away. I have another which I might put on pretty soon.

[@tadejbogovic8462]

I was looking for the best bar material and couldn't come up with an idea to use bamboo, up until I saw your video. The lady at the flower shop recommended to tape the area of drilling with some thick duct tape to prevent splitting before making holes. I believe this would make a difference. But at the end, to fixate the bamboo, I just used some strong metal wrap kind of thingy and nailed it at the top of the columns without any holes in bamboo. Holds very solid, more than I expected!

[@tamgsmith8077]

Gosh, I am so depressed when I leave this channel and have to go back to my regular life. I am gonna go back to Canada to find my own ripped, amazing vegan man. Love to the both of uou!!

[@allysonpfortmiller4884]

Hello! Could you make a bunch of these and meal prep them? Or in the fridge would it turn into soup?

[@scottnemec8971]

Awesome video!! Any advice on nutrition/what to eat for someone trying to gain muscle mass but also is triathlon training and does an hour and a half of cardio on average a day??

[@khaledkld1930]

Good vlog ...i really like. This channel. .keep up 😉

[@AlbertArellanes]

Awww man, I love that place! Goats on a roof!!!!!!! You sure do live in a beautiful place! Best wishes from your PNW friend south of the border!

[@TheBeardedBrosChannel]

How can someone dislike these videos?! Lolll

[@lI1I1ll]

bitter ex? vegan hater? health hater? jealous of his health? idk

[@samstruyven8523]

Something I realised recently, having toddlers around who are frighteningly more tech savvy than I expected at 17 months: KZbin is an attractive app as it is full of audiovisual stimulus and has a fairly easy/intuitive touch interface. I recently noticed thumbs down on some of my favourited / playlisted vids, which I would never have disliked, even realised I was subbed to an Italian lullaby channel... With more and more kids using their family's phones, perhaps unattended, random dislikes will simply occur ;)

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks guys! Haha, ex girlfriends and toddlers are the ones disliking my videos! You guys crack me up. ;)

[@FranMorello]

People who think Derek is on steroids maybe. Meat industry haha

[@channarat8929]

[@Kiddlekud]

Man, Crystal is so cute. You guys make a great couple

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks brother

[@Pichler96]

so excited about your ebook ! :)

[@luisgerardogutierrez9930]

Hahahaha couldn't belive that the sauce you were so eager to buy was Valentina! A favorite here in México to mix with all kinds of fruits and veggies! The brand's sticker is actually the state where it is manufactured: Guadalajara, México. Great video as always :D

[@andreasgarciastudio]

I love your videos! I really enjoy watching them... and I learn a lot as well. Congratulations! Greetings from Spain.

[@christianfernandez3559]

Gotta get a crash pad for the slack line man! Hope you didn't hurt too bad after your tumble!

[@muscleandmath2910]

Watching Derek while eating some whole foods, with lots of spices, with turmeric and black pepper of course, and ending with some raw garlic. I feel vegan as fuck.

[@muscleandmath2910]

Dw I already had my kale and banana smoothie. Would I even be vegan if I didn't?

u amazing. gal from israel. love u so much

The one fruit that goes with basil (pronounced "bear-zel", "bayzel" are for the Americans) is... TOMATO!

[@scdobserver835]

Also, you are the coolest 'tree-hugger' I have seen! LOL

[@TheBeardedBrosChannel]

Yo Derek, as college student, trying to get lean while putting on muscle, would you recommend being in a calorie deficit? I’m in a desk for most my day, but workout like 1.5 hours/day. If so, how much of a deficit is healthy?

[@akalion213]

Depends on your current weight and lifting experience. If you're currently overweight and a beginner then you could go on a deficit and put on muscle. If you're not overweight though, you should probably do more of a maintenance calorie range.

[@spicyf]

Hey bearded bros, I checked out your videos, very nice! On your work out video you guys used some rap music with lots of swearing, this can maybe turn people off your videos, also could make it harder to monetise them later down the road. Also on you ghost hunting video, even with the swearing beeped out, doesn't give the best impression. All depends what your market will be really.

[@efraincorrales3018]

He's so beautiful.

[@RoyceGetit]

Shout out to Derricks GF for having the confidence to let her attractive BF go to London for a week to Pursue his dreams. A lot of women wouldv been like, fucuuuck that lol

[@Simnettnutrition]

Haha, she is incredible. Never one question about any girls or anything. When you find someone you align so well with, trust isn't an issue.

I also love how he never edits out the fails

[@Simnettnutrition]

[@shaunmichaels5296]

Love watching your videos buddy. I'm still a 2 month newby vegan but watching your lifestyle and seeing what an amazing person you and your lady are just makes me want to fight hard to keep my vegan life style up. I live in Hollywood Ca. And I went hiking up the Hollywood hills and I was walking alone and I meet up with this guy who was doing the same thing and we just started walking and talking together. This video made me remember that. It's good to know there loving, friendly people out here in the world. Thanks for sharing your awesome life with us all. I know we all have hard times in life and we don't always show it to the world but I can really see you know what your doing in life. Much love to you and your family :)

There are more vegans around than you can even imagine. WE aren't as outspoken as people might think! ;)

[@shaunmichaels5296]

@@Simnettnutrition yes I've been going to all the vegan fairs I can go to so I can be around all the people I can be around so I can learn from them as much as I can. And to keep motivated.

i feel the same way about eating out lol

[@kamalkamel2251]

Derek your videos are amazing. Olease just the next time write the ingredients in the bio or in the screen cause I'm from another contry and i have different language i cant understand the ingredients if you just say them. And thank you for your great videos

[@FranMorello]

Derek, is there a difference hydrating yourself with just water, than fruits or vegetables? I got the argument that when it comes to hydratation the source should be water, not foods with high contents of it.

[@caranewell7678]

Hi! I’m newly vegan and LOVE cooking but many of the vegan KZbin cooking videos feature processed foods. Your vids are the BEST because you focus on whole, plant based, raw foods. I love your smoothie bowls! I make those plus drink 4 pints of fresh squeezed juice a day and have a salad if I have room for it and I’m dropping 2-3 lbs. a week. I’m obsessed with nutrition right now. Thank you SO MUCH for posting all your food videos. I will try more of your recipes when I have time. Please keep them coming!

[@debbiejohnson947]

I was going to ask about Crystal's workout, but as I'm 60, your mom's workout would probably be more my speed. :) I really enjoy watching you cook, it is helping me to expand my meal ideas. I started with Dr. Gregor's book, which lead me to Mic the Vegan, who lead me to you. :)
