    Thanks for watching! I would love your feedback. The background music? Thoughts? Too much? Too loud? Not when I'm talking? I try and find music that fits the setting and an appropriate level to keep things interesting but sometimes I wonder if it adds or takes away from the experience for most people. Thank you for the feedback as I am always trying to improve and make the best content possible for you! Positive and constructive is welcome.

      Hi Derek,thanks for the great video. The music is not distracting at all, goes great with the video. My 15 month old daughter was dancing along, exclaiming over the strawberries and avocados, and also kissing your cat through the screen. We'll be eating tofu tacos ASAP after watching this! Thanks again!

    I recently started eating a plant-based diet. There are a few channels that I have been following to minimize the difficulties associated with such a drastic lifestyle change.

    I used the grating technique w tofu to make imitation crab. Either for 'crab' cakes or a spicy sushi roll. Just mix in some veg mayo + Sriracha & dulse for the sushi, it's delightful. Even better if you mix it all up and leave it overnight!

I don’t really like the music during your exercise segment in this video, but I’m picky with music. I guess it makes sense not to have music while you’re talking, as this would be too distracting for me. I guess it makes sense to have some music playing while showing your workout footage though, since it makes the segment more interesting and keeps things moving along. Appreciate your great content!

    Whoa, inspiring progress with the iron cross! Would be cool if you touched on your training goals in a video.
    Regarding the music, I think it's pretty fitting - more energetic beats over training clips, lo-fi vibes for more relaxed stuff and so on. As for the volume, I think you have it down as well - not too distracting when you're talking, nor too loud over b-roll.
    As a final note - please don't burn yourself out! Even if you just showed one meal or vlogged something more mundane (e.g. grocery shopping, random home improvements like upgrading the home gym, etc), I would still be watching it. I know it's Simnett *Nutrition*, but over the years you've done a great job of showing more than just recipes and I feel like you were able to not put yourself into a box ;)

    Gits is a well known Indian company! You can find a lot more of their products at any local Indian store. An alternative to just getting that ready made packet is using the masala gravy that trader joes or whole foods sells and that way you can control the amount of gravy and use any veggies or tofu. I know one of the gravy options is vegan.
