OF COURSE YOUR CANADIAN !!!! YOU'RE TOO FREAKING NICE !!!!!
No such thing as TOO nice. Think positive and your world will change. You don't know it until you try.
u notice that? Brings positivity into a worker's life - finds 5 bucks. Lift another worker's day up - finds best parking spot. law of positivity at its finest haha
I know! I thought that too. Glad you picked up on it.
@@Simnettnutrition So next to no oil, flax seed would be #1 on the list to use?
I found $100 after being a total dick to someone
@@Simnettnutrition man I love your personality from iraq Baghdad
@@mikechapman1992 The devil gives away treats, too. Careful from whom you accept "gifts".
You guys are such positive and uplifting folks! Really enjoy watching your content! Thank you
but have you ever watched my shopping trips?;)
They have so much fun together. I can see them getting engaged soon
My god man! You can play guitar as well!?! So many talents. You are super inspiring! Thanks for another fun and great vid!
vegan jam session!
Haha, I taught myself a few years ago but have since put it on the back burner. I have lots of unfinished business with it though. I keep meaning to get back into it.
Next: What Crystal Eats In a Day 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
HEY! This is MY channel, it's all about me! Lol. Just kidding, I'll try and convince her. The 40 likes should help :D
YES!
Yes!
Squeak's Buffeteria : that would be great as she is very lean and maintains weight very well.
Crystal, won't you PLEASE help us ladies too? 🤗 What do you eat in a day? And how do you stay fit? I must say Derek's channel is truly helping my boyfriend out and I have stopped consuming milk and chicken thanks to you guys' VALUABLE information! 🌱
Gonna go vegan do calisthenics then become a god
Yasin Rhodes do it
Lets not and say we did! ;)
you’re already a god you just have to conscious know it
crystal is so nice! you guys seem like a great couple ☺️💕
me n you could be a great couple xoxo
Vegan Ambition WERK!! 😂😂
They remind me of Jeff Nippard and Stephanie
bro put a ring on it. her personality is incredible 👍🏻
I know I know. Keep watching my videos, I'm trying to afford one good enough for her! :D I think I need something to go viral. lol.
@@Simnettnutrition awww thats so sweet! 😍 you guys are just the cutest!! 😍💖💍
Dude, spend the real money on the wedding ring. Engagement rings dont have to be crazy expensive
@@Simnettnutrition , they are the biggest rip off forever! Who knows what the real price of a diamond is? It's probably like 800% inflated! Good luck with that argument though-It fell on deaf ears with my wife!
This is obviously a womans thought lol
My husband and I ALWAYS ask the checkout people how their shift is going
YAY! It's so great. Glad to hear. You just see them come alive when you ask eh? It's awesome. A little break from the monotony.
Totally! I always smile and talk to people. Butterfly effect, if we pass on kindness it can only do good things for the world.
I use self checkout, but I try to be nice to the machine.
^ best comment lmao
Mike Michaels 🙊
Gotta say this has been one of my favorite vids from him 🌱
Thank you brother. I was worried as the audio isn't the best and the camera wasn't wanting to focus, but I appreciate the consistent support.
lol bro you are so positive your energy radiates through the video therefore u attract people like minded..moat of us will never complain over the visual or audio going bad for a bit it's no problem! Keep up the great work bro! positive vibes to you both!!
Vigilant Vegan great vid. Thank a lot
J Rod B.B.
Glad I'm not the only one that goes to 3 grocery stores!
This was just one day. Haha. ;)
Dude. I really loved this video. I appreciate all the hard work u put into your videos and im sure everyone else does tòo. It shows. Ive also been slowly transitioninh into a vegan diet but in all, im eating healthier, i feel healthier.
Whole food plant based, brother! 👌
Crystal is so pretty!!!
Not sure how I managed this one. ;)
Her skin is glowing, even in the cold weather
Yeah diddo, Crystal just makes me want to smile, she's always smiling:)
Gorgeous couple imho
The stairway part got me. 🤣
Hey Derek I stumbled on your page about a month or two ago just want to say your videos really inspire me to start making changes in my life. I’m not going to lie I probably have eaten meat and dairy products every single day of my life. I’ve been doing so much research on how horrible animal fat/products are for you. I’m actually afraid because from having a poor diet and eating animal products I just had my 2nd major heart surgery and I’m only 29 years old! It’s very scary and it’s time to make a big change in my life I want to become a full time vegan and start living a full and healthier life. What kind of advice can you give me for just starting out? Like what ingredients should I be looking out for when I’m buying products like bread and snacks? Any advice you can give me on how to start prepping meals and living a healthier life. Just want to say thanks again for inspiring me to start making a change keep up the great work!
Check out Michael Greger, John McDougall, and Neal Barnard! There is so much info on youtube that will help inform you about eating plant based!!
Maxx Bailey thanks I definitely will appreciate it
MCANNIZZO377 Hang in there. You won't regret changing your diet for the better...whatever it may be. Hopefully you add a workout routine (carefully) and stop smoking if you're doing that. Take care.
MCANNIZZO377 if you can't pronounce it, don't eat it. Keep your meals as close to natural as possible (vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, rice, beans, quinoa, tofu, tempeh, potatoes, lentils, whole wheat pasta, rice pasta and plant milks (almond, hemp, rice, coconut). Keep to the outside isles of the grocery store, try to limit the amount of processed foods you eat, some processed vegan food is okay on occasion, but not everyday. Salads, tacos (beans as the protein), baked potatoes, pasta with pasta sauce (if you buy already made get the low sodium and make sure it's vegan) and quinoa bowls are easy meals to begin with. UA-cam has tons of videos with vegan recipes made from whole foods. It might seem difficult at first, because you are basically reteaching yourself how to eat, but stick with it and you will feel amazing plus be saving the lives of hundreds of animals 😊😊
Hope you're sticking to your change! Keep well!
You seem like a great guy. Congrats on the UA-cam success, you deserve it and I hope you come to the Woodstock Fruit Festival next year, I'd like to meet you.
Derek: How’s your shift going?
Me, a retail worker:😭❤️
You guys are unbelievably awesome. Another level of human beings. I’ll try to be more like you. Fan from Brazil. 🇧🇷
That grocery haul is my kinda haul 😍😍😍 .... you two are so fun
I love this channel, it keeps me motivated to eat healthy all the time even though I'm not vegan 👍
it's nice to find a vegan channel that aligns with my style of veganism! Healthy, happy, strong, kind and thoughtful people! :)
I think we all just nod our head when cashiers talk about their meat choices.."mhmm oh okay great! nice! "
Can you do a video on how to store fruits and veggies to keep them fresh? This was a great video and so nice to see crystal.
PlantsFor Protein can tell you how to store your greens....it usually keeps for up to 2 weeks ...after cleaning them dry thoroughly and I use large rectangular containers..line with paper towel..put a layer of greens...paper towel and layer...this absorbs the moisture which causes them to wilt...Hope this helps you some...
Extra bonus points for how you two treat retail workers so great, as if I needed another reason to love you!
Thank you Derrick for all this great info. I'm 46 today and 6 months ago i wanted to start a cut so i went KETO... for me it ended up being a huge mistake! extreme low energy levels, chest pains and cramps from low electrolytes, high blood pressure and finally, GOUT!! (ugh!)
i switched to Whole Food VEGAN a month ago and i'll never go back!! after only the first three meals, my energy was through the roof!! i am easily getting 100+ grams of protein a day and 75+ grams of fat. PLUS my Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio is between 1:2 to 1:4 which is great. according to Cronometer i am even getting plenty of B12 too!
Question about calories though. Cronometer has me at 3500+ calories which seems a little high for my BMR. (5'10 200lbs).
have you noticed that eating VEGAN you can eat quite a bit more than the standard BMR and still cut fat? i seem to be losing fat still but wondering if i should adjust my calories down or not?
Awesome. Glad you found your way. I hear this way too much. Some younger guys seem to get away with it for a while, but your experience and symptoms will eventually catch up to most people trying that. Happy you are healthier now! Everything sounds amazing, but don't rely on fortified foods, algae's or nutritional yeast for b12. Absorption is much different than consumption. Take a sublingual tablet or liquid a few times per week. And as far as your calories go, just keep doing what you are doing until you see the weight loss slow down. For the most part you totally can get away with eating more plant food calories, and while you are transitioning over it is probably a good thing as most people tend to under eat and more nutrients is better than fewer at a time like this. The benefits keep coming my man. I am sorry you had to go through what you did, but you may never have found your way if it wasn't for that little hiccup. All the best man. Keep me posted.
Yup you called it. I was adding 2 tbsp of spirulina to my morning smoothie. I’ll definitely try going with the drops instead.
@@jwendling8886 how's it been going vegan now after so long?
may i request a video where you go through your last blood test results? Thanks.
Crystal's laughter is so contagious
Nuff Respect breddah, I really rate your videos, blessings to your empress, keep di positive vybz guys and one luv
That smoked tofu brand is sooooo good. I buy it all the time. I could eat it raw no problem.
which brand is it?
It's Soyganic by Sunrise Soya Foods in Vancouver. There's the original smoked, lemon pepper smoked, and sriracha smoked. So good.
Hey Derek, hows your shift going?
You guys don't wash the fruirs before eating them? I've noticed you eat them as theay are in several of your videos.
Usually organic produce isn't sprayed, which is why you usually wash. Yes, some bacteria from various hands but it's nothing your immune system can't handle!
Just discovered you channel and am LOVING it. My husband and I are just one month into the vegan lifestyle and have started binge watching all your older videos and learning SO MUCH along the way. I really like you style and really could not get over your guitar intro to Stairway to Heaven! Awesome! ❤️
carrie7610 welcome to the vegan world!!!! It’s a great world ❤️
How long will that last you and will you use it all before it goes bad
Just curious
Happy Thanksgiving
Loved this did not know you played a little guitar Derek! Check out my channel sometime it's what I am :) picking up some tempeh tomorrow!
Have a great Thanksgiving to you both
How do you prepare your butternut squash?
Andrea Dunham POF slice half inch thick salt pepper butter cookie sheet in oven 350 till they shrink get gorgeous and brown in the flavors concentrated my favorite way
Steve Detrick butter?
Andrea Dunham I like to cube mine up with olive oil to coat, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. So delish!!! :)
Roasting it and making a wonderful soup with a nut milk is also great for this time of year.
Been thinking and doing research on how to transition into a vegan diet, but kind of lost interest. Just yesterday I watched ‘What the Health’ & ‘Forks Over Knives’ , really opened my eyes and I’m going to do this lifestyle change. Seeing your videos and and the good vibes that you bring just makes me want to do this even more. I went to the market rite after I watched those documentaries and I have to say that I feel pretty damn good after only one and a half day. Keep the videos coming and you got my support all the way from Los Angeles
Love you guys! Been having a watching marathon of your videos! Thank you for brightening my day 💕
I definitely would like more adventure-like videos like this, it was awesome!
Anyone who can play Stairway to Heaven is automatically my favorite UA-camr!
Haha, awesome. I've got a few more bars of it, but it gets complicated from what I remember.
When they said they live in a small town of 12k people I was like 😱 because I must live in a microscopic town of only 857 people 😂
I laughed so hard when you started playing the guitar and I yelled, “No stairway!” THEN YOU PUT THE CLIP IN!
Are you making giant dice with the foam blocks?
Love seeing Crystal more too 👌🏼happy thanksgiving you guys!
Your intuition is good! ;)
this shit is giving me a heart attack. Walking around without masks talkin at people and stuff. jeez the days before the apocalypse were insane
straight up, I started asking "How's your shift going?" because of this video and there is definitely a difference in reaction! We all have our days so I'm glad to connect with folks on that vs the generic "how are you doing *IE* I was raised to ask this but don't really care" mentality.
might be your best video yet!
I was wondering if you had any advice for people with skin diseases? Specifically eczema and dermatitis. Thanks in advance
BrokenGun
Would be interested too 😉
I started eating a whole foods vegan diet like derek and my severe eczema is almost 90% clear now! i also do lots of smoothies and juices (celery juice, green juice etc)
check out Rob Stuart
I've actually been following his advice for 2 years almost haha. I'm about 85% healed but cant shake that last 15%. I like to see different perspectives on it though which is why I asked Derek here.
Ah, I see. You could try doing an extended juice fast. Different perspectives are good. Gotta soak in that knowledge ;-)
like that 'how's your shift going'
Love the idea of asking the supermarche employee about her day, something I've taught my kids
I like the how's your shift going 👍🏿
This is great. I just quit eating meat.. hopefully I will stick with it
Great video, love the positive interaction with your community! 😃
I am getting a total girl crush on Crystal.
Your "check engine light" is on..
It's a permanent fixture in that car now. Lol. She's running like a fine german sewing machine though. It's something to do with the exhaust recycling, idles a bit rich at start up, but other than that she's fine. It's a rav. It would have to burn to the ground in order to stop running. Haha.
Simnett Nutrition Toyotas is the best 😃👍🏻 like Your channel by the way. I am not a vegan, but i am a PT and I find Your channel to be very educational (if thats a Word) good work Derek 😃👍🏻
thanks for showing the oil graph, I am done with Olive oil and on to Flaxseed/Avocado oil.
Great video! How tall is Crystal? Your height difference reminds me of my boyfriend and I. I'm 5'8" and my boyfriend is a few inches shorter than me. Either way, y'all are still a cute couple! Y'all should do another Q&A video.
She is around 5' 8" and I am 5' 6". When we first met we were the same height but then she started doing a bunch of yoga and grew :'(
Simnett Nutrition yeah one of my friends was shorter than me when we started university but now he's undeniably taller. Even when I stand completely straight.
celeste marry me!!
Bro you inspire me I am 5'8 skinny fat guy you have given me body goals.
Everytime I watch a haul from Canada or the US I can't believe how expensive the food is compared to the UK!
love your attitude and truly admire your discipline with how you eat. I'm getting better and better but still have a long way to go:)
You two are so wonderful and inspire me so much!
OMG you're gonna trigger so many nonspiritual people with the "highly vibrational" comment. And even though I'm not a raw foodist I totally get the term. My morning smoothies chock full of berries and bananas just have no description. They take me to another level. Wish I could drink them all day long but it's not practical for me.
HAha no body even mentioned it! So funny. You are right though, after I said it, I thought, 'oh, I'm going to hear it from this hippy dippy vibrational stuff'. But I can tell just like you. If I have some toast and peanut butter first thing, it doesn't feel nearly the same as starting with lots of living, fresh foods!
It was so nice to see you talk to the checkout clerk. I do that all the time as well as talk to people on the line with me. It’s nice to extend some kindness and hopefully receive some back as well. Makes the world and ones day a little nicer!
prime rib roast on sale......
Haha, I was like 'Do I go on some rant or....?'
Haha, your reaction was hilarious. Really enjoyed this video, all the from England
like did you NOT notice anything I just bought ma'am? haha
loved the positive response though, cracked me up.
As a Canadian living in France, I loved this video so much! It was fun to have a little virtual visit of some of the big stores. Wish we had that selection here! Thanks so much for your positivity, it is so refreshing to see! :)
LOL You two made shopping look so fun 😂
"So you can eat the bowl"
I mean when am I ever late 😏
X2
Haha, not that i've ever seen.
Put out that positivity, my friend; it always comes back. ✌️🌱
Yeah salty food definitely messes up my tastebuds. Even things like whole grain bread is so addicting and easy to overeat on!
Johannes Anttila healthy human beings make my day
"everyone's just eatin' that right up, eh?" Your Canadian is showing!
Your energy is contagious! Would love to hear your thoughts on eastern philosophy (referring to the podcast you were listening to).
TheAltruismActivist yeah it's obvious they're into it. I mean you can feel their vibes.
They probably tripped on acid and jumped to the first podcast that could maybe explain what they experienced lol
Jicama is awesome. It has kind of a sugar snap pea flavor. $5! -Lucky Canadian eh? Simple happy pleasures :)
Hemp seeds are Gods gift to mankind 🌱
Especially *hemp buds* 😎
Cant digest them =(
+Warwid if you can't digest the seeds, could you try the protein powder?
100000000 points for the Wayne's World reference
Happy Canadian thanksgiving!
The first thing I thought when I realised that you're Canadian is, that cannabis is legal in your country now :D
Anyway great video, I like grocery haul vlogs :D Greetings from Germany!
in germany it is not common to talk to the cashier, just hello and bye.
Is that right? Wow, that's so interesting. I guess it becomes a lot if everyone starts asking this. I am curious to learn more about this. Elaborate!
Simnett Nutrition the cashiers are very quick and than you also pay your groceries quick, because the people in line are getting impatient. I don't know why, but we don't really like to talk much with strangers.
I can confirm this. Although there are slight differences between regions and stores.
melinda biba You should start it and make a positive movement 💪
It's a cultural thing. The more north you go the more industrial minded/colder people get socially and the closer to the equator (think Northern Europe vs Mediterranean) you get the more social and family oriented people are.
This isn't anything negative it's just a result of priorities of societies. Social interaction is more important with agrarian based societies.
This is part of the reason for problems between the different nations within the EU and especially with the states in the early USA, but most people fail to even realize what I just said.
Dude your guys skin is glowing like crazy. Can't wait to get there, been vegan for 2 months. I find the eye colour also changes. Cheers from Ontario, love your channel keep it up, great amazing video. Love u guys, take care and talk to ya soon !
Awesome! I lived some of my life in Mississauga. Went to Slumber College, I mean Humber. ;)
I would hate having to hear "how is your shift going" especially if more than one person would do it per day.
Like it's just pointless small talk.
I could answer with anything and it would be completely meaningless.
"How are you" is not any better.
It's fake positivity.
If I do not feel ok, do I say that everything is bleak and I was (metaphorically) ready to pop a bullet in my brain? Well it would be funny to see the other person's awkward face if I held them accountable to their superfluous questions..
G.G. I would listen.
Well ok, if you're intentions are honest and not superficial then it can slide.
I wish you would have stopped a demo table to ask about our day too at Costco. As a vegan glutin free "sales advisor" I use that intro with most people who approach my table. I know very well the demo tables can be slim pickens but still would have loved to have seen you stop by
Nothing fake about ice breakers, it leads to future conversations, maybe even a friendship, he shops there often...
Didnt realise Derek was Canadian. Then I heard him say "ooh yaah" and then be all polite to the workers and thought how did I not notice
James Thompson Derek has the classic Canadian accent in “sorry” and I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on it sooner either!
Great videos! How long does all that food usually last you before you have to take another large grocery haul?
I would like to know as well 😁
How long does that grocery haul last for? I'm guessing a week?
SAFETY ISSUE : Your headrest is too low. Please do something
Really? It goes to the top of my head? The back of my head sits in the small whole in the headrest, how else should it be?
Hi Derek,
Thanks for the reply. Check at 00:13 is too low .
What this video ua-cam.com/video/mXNohK0sz6U/v-deo.html to prevent you from whiplash !
By the way I love your channel. You do a great job!
Regards
Right right! I see ya. I think I was sitting up a bit higher than normal trying to give myself a couple inches on camera. lol. But I will take it into account for sure and adjust it. Thanks for caring! Amazing when you think back on the old american cars where there virtually was no headrest. Goodbye head.
Just listened to that exact podcast while I was driving through the rain! haha I guess that just further proves that we are all interconnected :-)
4:26 Apparently Chrystal has never been through a self-checkout...
after watching this guy I have statrted to give vegan a shot so far so good thank you so much bud
Do more mobility videos!
wow that guitar was actually in tune?
I love your videos but I find ironic that you care about plastic bags while you get to the store in such a big polluting car.
Literally laughed out loud at the “model walk” in the mall :)
lol OF course You're Canadian, you are too NICE.
Love from Chicago.
3:25: "...everyone's just eatin' that right up, eh?" The most Canadian sounding statement EVER! Outstanding!
Hey Derek. I absolutely appreciate what you do. You are literally one of the reason's I decided to go plant based. I Can't praise your channel enough! Never stop this! I wish I had a more exciting question for you but instead I have a little dilemma I would love your input on, as it has made me quite discouraged and stressed. So I'm a 25 year old living in Melbourne Australia and I have a VERY strong family history of heart problems, diabetes, high cholesterol ,high blood pressure, dementia etc from BOTH sides of the family. (my dad had his first heart attack at age 30)
I switched to a plant based diet about 1 year ago when my total cholesterol was 220mg/dl (130mg/dl being LDL). After being on this lifestyle for 6 months, I did some blood work and my total cholesterol had dropped all the way down to 160mg/dl (almost heart attack proof). I was quite pleased with the results but I knew I could do better so in another 6 months (now) I just went back and did another test but this time the results came out very high almost at 200mg/dl! And my TRIG is borderline too high)
I am very scared and don't know what to do as my GP is telling me it's probably just genetics. How can this be when my blood work was improving 6 months ago?
My typical everyday day currently contains white rice, lentils, beans, pasta, avocado, guacamole, white bread, fruit smoothies, veggies, Greens, some nuts and yes vegetable oils. Ive also been guilty of eating palm oil based popcorn from movie theatres 3 times in the last few weeks. But I don't understand why my body is producing so much Cholesterol if my dietary Cholesterol intake is 0. Any bit of advice would be amazing Derek. I really appreciate your time and advice. Thanks! - Junior
You are too good man for this planet
OK so I want to try jicama, Cringed when you guys acted like that little simple road was 4x4ing it lol. OMG NO STAIRWAY DENIED LOL I AM DYING LOL.
This was interesting! I was kinda curious how were things in Canada, it's nice
How long does this haul last for you?
So I’m Flexitarian but am considering transitioning to veganism, my husband who is not onboard at all is worried I won’t get enough iron and b12. I have celiac so don’t do any gluten/grains, no eggs, no dairy ( dairy was the most recent item I have cut from my diet.) I have an auto immune condition I’m working on healing my self from with Gods pharmacy ( natural and food based). I would love any pointers:) Love your videos.
Nicki Bulicek b12 is best absorbed for everyone taken sublingually. Iron is easy to obtain from green leafies and nuts and seeds.
Nicki Bulicek you can use collard leafs for wraps 👍
Liked seeing your shopping haul!
So much positivity here, that's awesome 😊 Thank you 😊
Yes more of this please! Love seeing you guys together, you are so much fun. Would also like to see what Crystal eats in a day :)
Dude yes! Shopping for those vegan gains is always a fun thing for me. I learned from the best... Thanks for all of the guidance this past year Derek!
We are Canadian buddies ohh and your girlfriend has a pretty awesome name (that's my name too LOL)! Great channel!! We pretty much have identical groceries too haha
Damn. I might have a furry fetish now...
