You are never to old to be vegan I started at 60 when I found your channel to loose some weight and get fit now I'm leener and fitter also work out, I'm now 62

I love that you keep the slips and trips in! You could easily edit it all out-but thank you for keeping it realistic and showing nothing is perfect. You just keep going! ❤️

Lost it at 10:57 hahaha

I discovered your channel today and I’m loving it.. 3 weeks plant base 🌱but pescatarian 7 yrs loving it thus far .. loving your content, keep em coming ❣️👍🏽👍🏽

Coco is cute and just wants some attention😻 please include him in videos, we dont mind .. and yes he is smart he thinks - when I am on the counter I do get rewarded with food :)

Thanks for all your uploads ,,, I have been vegan for 4 years, but you have motivated me to get back in the gym and I too do a lot of running. You have motivated me in a degree so I basically work out every day. Good job man.

I just love this episode. The cherry blossoms are amazing. I used to watch your channel for what you cooked but being that I have a vegan channel fo my own, I still find myself clicking on your new videos because you always inspire me to get the hell out of the house and get outside. I never think of the outside like you do. I always see it as a chore to have to get out in the world and hit the gym or run in the morning, but then I see you just wanting to be out in nature and it inspires me to get out there too. I know this video is about what you are eating, but watching it inspires me to do more with being outside in nature than I am already doing.

Pineapple also contains bromalin which is a good anti inflammatory. ;)

You're SO comfortable with your current life! I applaud you for that! #SuccessfulPeople (AND VEGAN!) ;)

Your videos are cool bro. Please continue to do what you're doing. I'm trying to slowly make that transition to veganism. And your videos are inspirational. Thank you.

Great vid! In actually becoming a vegan very soon

Cocoa, I think his name is, is a troublemaker. Let's see more of him and his trouble making.

Man I cant go a morning without a smoothie bowl thanks to u lmao

Love this video! Your such a kid at heart! Thank you for everything you do...very real and down to earth 🌎 I appreciate you! It's been almost two years vegan. I feel amazing. I have to thank you because you were the very first person that inspired me and kept me going with your food ideas /videos etc. I don't feel like there is a huge vegan community here in Bay area, not like LA anyway. So you have helped me feel like I have some community. Thank you for always. 🙏💚🌷💞

Hey derek, it's been a long Time since i laughed that much....it's so much Fun (and helpfull of course) seeing you having Fun in your Life and with your cat 😂 i changed my Life since i found your Channel and it's not only your help and Information on nutrition, it's also going out, Love the Nature and a Active Lifestyle. Thank you so much for beeing that authentic! Go on like that 👍(I'm from Germany, i hope i don't have that much mistakes😂)

“If I do eat anything else, it’ll probably be.. a spoonful of peanut butter.” Same, Derek. 😂 Same.

I'm 60 and have been vegan for 6 years. I started exercising 13 months ago and have definitely increased muscle all over and have improved other things with my physique that I never thought I could. Plus everything has been accomplished post menopause. I read and have heard that couldn't really happen and I'm living proof that it can. It's never too late to start making changes.

cat on the counter - whenever you are not needing to use the kitchen, put crinkled up then flattened aluminum foil on the counter tops. Most cats hate the feeling on their feet and noise that it makes. you can use the same pieces multiple times, but most cats only need a few times before they start avoiding the counter tops. Our cat loved the counters....until three days of foil. Even after moving twice we never had to put foil down again. He just assumes counters are the enemy.

Thanks for the motivation! I'm doing dishes after major food prep so I think every fifth dish I'll do a set of five jump squats :)

I love your enthusiasm for food! Before going vegan I couldn’t fully appreciate just how wonderful vegetable dishes could taste - and I loved vegetables. I’ve become a much better and more adventurous cook - your videos inspire me. Thank you for your love of life and all your hard work.

Your food series will help a lot of people understand the differences in macros. So many "personal trainers" say if you want to lose weight you'll want to stay away from fruit because of the sugars. Sugars, carbs and fats come in so many different forms. Schools should do so much more when it comes to basic nutrition. Great video again mate.

Those energy levels are goals

Hey Derek I found your channel recently and have been binge watching. I lost 70 lbs on a WFPB diet, now I'm lifting weights and increasing my activity, and after 8 weeks I've lost body fat and nearly an inch around my waist already. I got your ebook, and loving your meal ideas. I see when you chop stuff on your cutting board it moves around a little. One tip that one of my own viewers gave me: put a damp dish towel under the cutting board to prevent it from slipping. It really works! Yes on the B12 and acne thing...same thing was happening to me, bad cystic acne with the high doses. Thanks for your motivating videos!

Man, thank you for all the great food/nutrition inspo!!

So much info in one video!!! You're awesome!

Summer is right around the corner, can’t wait!!! Great video Derek!

Looks like you had a great day Derek & All your meals always look so yummy. I love that you get excited about it.

Your 2019 vids are Rocking! Keep growing, changing maturing into your calling and craft bro! You Rock! Great info on the food as well!💪😎🥦🍒

Amazing video dude. Workout, food and q&a! Plus its over 30 min dude loving it

derek is the best, you have been always my inspiration towards plant based eating and calisthenics. i recently been active on my youtube channel and you inspire me to create workout videos. thank you for sharing great experiences

Loved the vid bro! Keep em coming , sharing with all my non vegan friends cuz u my friend are inspiring af 🌱👌🏻

Thanks for the uplifting content! You're always positive and really motivating me to keep practicing and getting better!

I love your videos, they fill me with energy and make my day happier !

Woop woop! Love these videos from you, Derek!

LOVE IT!! glad to see I'm not the only one who physical jumps with happiness over their meals! Homemade sauce is where it's at! Since going whole foods plant based my taste buds have changed so much for the better that healthy food tastes amazing and brings me such Joy!

Thanks for another dope dinner recipe! Will be trying to this out too! Much Love

Derek we need more this long videos, love you

Great to see you make such a long video. Has all the right elements in it. Keep making um this long!

Could u do a vid sometime on your thoughts about diets while being vegan such as paleo vegan, keto vegan... great vid man!

You seriously have the best attitude ever. I mean, what really ticks you off? Lol I’m just so curious! So easy-going! That’s why you’re so easy to watch.

So sometimes you are slightly awkward, and almost shy to say certain things despite your experience as an influencer. BUT I find it really refreshing and relatable, and btw I enjoy all of your videos. Thumbs up from the U.S.!

I love the amount of energy you always have in your video. The weather is almost nice enough here to walk in the park with all the cherry blossoms too!

Hey Derek, I’ve replicated your dinner recipe, so freaking tasty! 🌱 Well well deserved dinner 🥘

Thanks for keeping it real! Much ❤️❤️

I just discovered your channel yesterday! Loving all the useful content, your positivity and energy! Thank you! Best wishes from Ottawa! :)

Absolutely love the Q&As cause I learn so much and Loved how informative this vid was but also fun to watch>> Keep them up>> Thank you so much Derek~.

Love seeing your reactions to the food you make. Your reactions are very genuine and you always provide feedback when something is just a little off. I also love it when you try something you really enjoy. Makes me want to try it! Keep it up!

I actually really like these longer 30+ minute videos! I know you're always trying to cut time on videos, but I expect I'm not the only one who likes these longer ones.

I really love the longer videos! Great way to take a break during my schoolwork.

I just found your channel because i'm slowly switching to plant based diet (for environmental reasons) and i wanted real advice from a fit person. Love it ! I love your energy and positivity ! Go beans go ! 🤤😂😂😂

Derek, your by far my favourite RU-vidr :) just watching your videos makes me feel so happy and inspires me to keep eating as healthy as possible! 🌱💪

I have been going through your channel watching as many videos as I can, and you've completely changed the way I eat. I hugely appreciate everything you're doing here and just want to let you know that you were the cause for a lifestyle change of mine! I'll continue to follow along. Thank you!

Love love love love looooove these videos😍

Thanks, Derek for inspiring me to eat more leafy greens and pay closer attention to getting the essential vitamins and minerals!

I feel like doing hill sprints now ! Your videos are really fun and inspiring

Love your what I eat in a day videos! So many awesome meal ideas!

Wow these cherry blossoms! I've never seen any in Quebec. I also had a good laugh when you fell twice on the hill. Good video 🙂

Thank you so much for your videos. You are always so positive and authentic and truly want to help other people. You’ve helped me so much. Thank you!!

Just bought your vegan recipes book. Pretty stoaked to try them out. My buddies think I'm crazy for quitting drinking and partying and getting into the whole vegan alkaline food scene. 💪 and fresh food!!! Keep up the great inspiration and positivity brah! Much love from Socal!

Really enjoyed how you threw the kale on the table around 6:50 !!!!! Made me actually laugh, haha. I’m looking a bit frail at the moment because of depression but I’m getting back into the calisthenics grind. 🤘💚

Great video once again! One thing I would appreciate: I always wonder at what time you are eating! So if you mentioned that, that would be awesome!

I've always known that about numeric and pepper but i love the way you broke down the science in a simple, comprehensive way! loving these vids

I didn't know that about mustard. I instinctively have always added it to my tahini based dressings but having that emulsifier info is definitely handy!

There were multiple times that I laughed out loud on this one brother. So funny all the way from the hill sprint wipeout to the childish excitement when you food is ready haha. I was kind of dragging this morning and didn’t really feel motivated for the day, nothing a Simnett Nutrition video can’t cure! 👌🏻🌱🌱🌱

Than-q! Than-q! Than-q! You are a consistent, reliable, unwavering voice of calm, reason, nonjudgemental, openminded, factual information, responsibility and joy in your content and to your viewers in the midst of the chaos and inconsistency that is nutrition and fitness in society, including regarding plant-based and vegan nutrition for many. You know you are doing something right when the worst the trolls can seem to come up with for the most part is to take shots at a “spotty beard” or make “short” jokes. With the integrity you display as a man, a content maker, a vegan and a human being, you leave nothing to poke holes in. You have much to be proud of. Not just for how you have turned your own life around but for how you have and are impacting the world. You are changing lives with all you do. I have lost count of how many times I have seen someone mention your name recently in comments on other creators videos. You are hailed as putting out great content, providing fantastic information, helping people to have changed to eating plant-based or getting fit, often for the first time in their lives. People appear to trust you and it often seems to be because you are a ”regular” guy living a “regular” life, in a regular house cooking your own ordinary food. Quite a lot of the work you do on your body has been and is still done with alternatives to stepping foot in the gym. You are an adult who has not only an education connected to what you are talking about and teaching, you also have life experience under your belt. You are not 23 and following the tide of trends, whatever friends are doing, one extreme “diet” after another in the hunt for “healing”, often from a seemingly self-diagnosed ailment, a “perfect body” (according to what standard of beauty, and created by whom?), being one with nature at a cellular level or any other rationale used for voluntarily depriving your body of the nutrition it requires to function and thrive at its optimum level. You are relatable to people from every walk of life. You are “one of them”. They do not feel lied to or manipulated. You share the information you know, both benefits and risks where applicable, while always encouraging your viewers to take the time to do their own research in order to make decisions that are best for their own fitness, wellbeing and overall health and happiness in order to live their best life possible. If that intention was behind all content created, what an incredibly healing, uplifting and inspirational place the internet and world would be. Even sharing the reality of having a cat that prefers to be in the kitchen near you while you are cooking or filming is endearing. It makes me laugh that viewers comment on your cat being on the countertop. If only they knew where their cat actually roamed while they slept at night, showered, were at work or out shopping. Unless locked out of a room, cats will explore every square inch of a home every chance they get, especially areas with lots of smells, like a kitchen. Your authenticity is what made me choose to subscribe to you. I can go to a book, Dr. Gregor or a search engine for nutritional facts and information. If I want it delivered with humour, sometimes a dose of a bootiful outdoor setting or adventure and sometimes a female view when Crystal is included in your video I turn to you. I am grateful for the opportunity and experience every time I do. Keep doing all you do. You are impacting lives, young and old, male and female, from all walks of life.. It is lovely to watch your success grow. You deserve it! With peace, gratitude, grace and light!

Thanks for talking about the b12 - acne connection. I've also noticed the correlation many times, helpful to know smaller frequently doses will help 🙏

Love your videos! You always have such great content with a bit of humour included! 👍😁💕

Hey Derek, awesome video. Thank you! Have you tried using a spray bottle with water to spray your cat when he / she did goes onto the counter. I hear it can help and it's more just little shock then hurtful

At work when I got the notification. Guess it’s time to take a lunch.

I need to find a go-to cardio exercise and I think hill sprints will just about do it so thanks 👍

Derek charms me to no end 😂 Walking on a pole while some elderly couple tries to ignore the fact that a grown man is playing on the handrails; running, jumping, and falling down the hillside, laughing through it all.. Derek is proof that we never have to lose our inner child ❤️

Yummy 😋 & you cracked me up after blending smoothie 😂😂😂 could you put a link of where you buy your vitamin D3 and the omegas thanks great video 🤗

So funny! When you talked about your food reaction before taking a bite. I said: "mmmmH!" and my boyfriend answered: "So good!" and then you did exactly that. Love your videos! 👍❤️

Omg not boring ! Inspiring and real life

Content on 10!! 🙏💚🌱 Thank youuu!

That plunger though lol. Awesome video man keep em' coming

Sir, you are an inspiration.

In my home town we have loads of white cherry blossoms right now. Also white apple and plumb blossoms. Those pink ones are amazing.

I love it when your cats have their little cameos!!!

All of your videos are awesome Derek! & I do like to watch you eat the food you show us. Love your videos!

Great nutrition information and channel. You are very inspirational Derek! 🇨🇦

You are so much fun to watch. Be joyful with your food.

That dinner looked SO GOOD I’ve gotta try that soon. Never cooked bok choi but I’ve got to try it!

Tahini dressings are life!

tahini and ras el hanout sounds like a really good combination to put on beetroot or sweet potatoes with couscous, have to try that, thank you!

Derrick, I love your videos! Keep up the good work! If I could add a comment to see a video talking about body type? Maybe not an entire video, but at least a segment. I think this is important because as you know we all don’t have the same body type and we do not all process food and calories and fats the same way. Would love to hear you commentary on this! Thanks! 🙏

Fun to watch while eating my home-made hummus with pasta&peas. Hilarious when you fell on 3:40 xD, and licking the big stick of the blender!

Cherry blossom trees are a highlight. I want to visit Japan just to see them

I smell something... Oh yes there this is definitely on, 300K subs coming up, wooohoooo! Let's party!!

Derek please do a video of your top 5 breakfast options

dude you're buzzing in this vid! love it

That sturdy fry looks delicious! Gonna try it out soon.

I get excited about food too - today I did a little dance in my kitchen after taking a bite of my kale salad :)

I definitely do like seeing your reaction!!!!!!

Wow, first time I've ever seen you use Daiya, Derek. 😲 I've never had it, myself, but I'd love to try Miyokos one day. Awesome video and amazing eats. Thank you! xx

I was really surprised you didn’t load the toast up with veggies. It was actually refreshing to see honestly. It seems like a lot of fitness gurus say that we need to be eating veggies at every single meal and I’m not about that all all but I’m trying 😩

Glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing all of this info. It is very helpful. Don't think I'm ever gonna jump over a concrete picnic table so I'll jump vicariously through you.

I love your videos, they are going to help me a lot on my journey to becoming vegan, thank you so much!! Also, I love your kitty. I wouldn't be able to help but pet him when he was pawing at you, he clearly wants to be part of the show! 😝 Take care and thank you for your videos 🙏💜

I love your videos I have a five hour paper route so I watch you on RU-vid every day thank you so much both you and Krystle love your attitude’s and your sweet kindness
