Before I started following you my blood pressure was 147/98. Now after adopting a more whole foods plant based diet (rarely do I eat meat, but on occasion during a family gathering) I was able to lower my blood pressure to 122/60! Amazing! Thanks for all the inspiring content!
My blood pressure was always in that "little bit high" range; but that seemed "normal" for an American. Now my blood pressure is just plain "normal"; and it feels great.
Shane Wilburn im glad you feel better. I lost a lot of weight and my diabetes is gone. I just laugh to myself when i hear people criticizing those who became vegan.
When the doctor told me my blood pressure was 122/60 I couldn't believe it. He assured me it was accurate. I was gonna be happy if it just lowered a little bit but I never could imagine it would ever be this good. The diet really works.
I loved the live, unexpected events that unfold as you are doing this video. Its so real. This one was one of my favorites so far. I also love seeing Crystal! Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
I’m total fan girl-ing right now! Can’t believe you replied! Lol. I love your what I eat in a day vlogs! P.s Happy birthday crystal! My birthday is just 2 days after hers! 😁 keep up all the great work and positivity!
Every time I see someone do the “hang loose/ surfer hand thing” I laugh because that is how you sign yellow in sign language!!! Makes it seem that everyone is just randomly saying YELLOW!!!
Whenever I have an unhealthy day of eating, I try to go mostly raw the next day to clean out my system! Always feels like the right thing to do when I listen to my body.
It sure felt good for me. Digestion was A+++. I was just thinking of salty stir fry's the entire night though. Lol. Thanks for the continued support. Always nice seeing you in the comments.... not only of my videos though, I see you around on other videos too always speaking with reason and compassion. :D
I live in Newfoundland and the skies have been hazy here and the moon has been a different color because of the fires from BC. The smoke is travelling all across the country. I can't imagine being so close to it like you guys are.
It was nice to see a peak of John Koler from Growing Your Green on your channel. I learned about him as soon as I became plant based which was more 2 yrs ago. I leaned so much from John. I even bought an Omega slow juicer from him. My favorite juice is red beet root with dulgo crab apples which is in season right now. Beet juice by itself is too sweet.
Hey Derek! I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos, everything you post is super inspiring and motivating. I am like wow this guy is awesome. You too Crystal!! I had a heart attack last year and really trying and fighting my way to lose weight and get in super shape. Would love to actually talk to you on ways to get continue my journey of better heath and fitness. And you’re local!! I’m in Langley but not super local. Thank you for everything
I was racking my brain to think of who your voice reminds me of and then I saw John Coler and instantly that was the answer! To me, your intonation, phrasing and tone sound a lot like John. 💚✌ Enjoying binge watching all your videos, Derek. I love finding a new You Tuber I enjoy. Thank you.
I’ve never really met any other vegans who love fitness and whole food plant based eating as much as us, it’s nice to be able to share it even if it’s only through the internet!
In addition to all the classes you went to, I think it would’ve been cool to have someone taking people on field trips and teach about foraging for edible plants in the area. And then making salads with those plants for food. It’s very interesting. And if you get lost in the wild, at least you’ll have something to eat. You can also plan a long three to six month hiking trip and eat mostly from the land. It might be fun to look into. 😊
Great vlog! I didn't think it was so crazy or random:) My Victoria Island sister came to Ontario two weeks ago and she said it was so nice to just breathe clean air. I hope the fires stop soon. I feel bad for all the wild life who can't escape the elements and come indoors. Love your vlogs as always.
I’ve watched this video a few times... 😆 some people watch sitcoms in the background Simnett is one of my go-tos. Oh my gosh that fruit... a fruit festival is definitely on my list of things to do and I must say getting caught in the rain like that I’m sure was crazy and cool at the same time. Keep it honest😉
Was so curious what “sprouted” coconut was, but after seeing the picture I knew immediately! I’m from the island of Saipan, and in my culture, we refer to that as Få’å or Fåha! One of the locals favorite treat we love it
So cool! You've inspired me to start looking into any vegan/plant-friendly events near me! One question though: was protein of any concern that weekend for you eating so much fruit? How do fruititarians handle that? Love the content Derek, keep it up!
I would have loved to see y'all dancing lol I really enjoyed your videos didn't expect this much content from the title great video Derek love your channel
Been choking on that smoke all week. Pretty bad the last couple days. Even some light ash covering things. Just came back from outside, noticed a little wetness on the ground and cars. Hope yall are getting some up north as well!
LOL, John from Grow your greens was a speaker. He is really a good person to follow about things. Anyway, just wanted to say nice trip and thanks for the smoke, its coming down into the US. (cough, cough) We are also having a lot of fires here to so be careful and drink a lot of water.
Every year in Italy big parts of the woods burn :( . According to some locals, there are people who set a fire on purpose to get a job (they help the fire fighters). A funny thing is that in Rome sometimes you can find desert sand (coming from North Africa) on the roofs of the cars. Some winds can be so strong!
Thinking about the fruit fest reminded me; Crystal, do you not eat any grains? You must eat beans and lentils? The fruit diet is tempting to try for a week or so. I imagine that includes greens?
What's holding you back from fully vegan?? Do you cook, iow, do you prepare your own foods now. If so, fully vegan will be a snap, and if not, you will learn, as millions have. Challenge22 will give you 22 days of free coaching, no obligation. But most of all, you need to watch this video on YT. "Dairy is Scary" from Erin Janus channel. It's like 5 minutes. Only 5 minutes for your own health, and to save animals and for not furthering harm to our planet Whatever you do, best wishes to you. Let us know?
Looks so beautiful & all that fruit Fires are scary It's winter here still in Australia & in New South Wales we have had over 70 bush & grass fires it's terrible
Yes, I'm torn on this. I love it so much, but don't want it to appear I am flexing or showing off. It's not at all about that for me, I am just a true car lover and love all cars. I guess I figured most of my followers aren't car people and don't care. But I will talk about it, maybe in an ask me Monday or something! It's really interesting as I bought it from auction in Japan and had it shipped here.
Hey Derek, I know it is a long shot but are you going to attend International Istanbul Vegfest in september. It would be cool if you did, no pressure though. Great video by the way, eating fruit all day long with friends sounds fun. Greetings from Turkey.
Hey Derek! Where do I get a water bottle like yours? Been searching for a good one but mostly they’re made out of plastic. Thank you so much for the great content!
this vlog reminded me that here at brasil we got a huge variety of fruit.. and have many native ones, like jabuticaba, guava, pineapple (yep, they're not from hawaii), cocoa, cashew, passionfruit.. and the list goes on. the thing is.. most of these are exported and are difficult to find at local markets :/
So crazy bc Rawvana Yovana isn’t even vegan anymore! She was one of the first people i subscribed and I still see her videos but it’s not the same. I get not doing raw but no one can convince me that meat and processed foods are better than whole food plant based vegan diet after everything I’ve learned. I feel for her!
Hey hey! We are going camping for two days at Port Renfrew, and we will be eating raw fruit and greens!! And NO cell phone or access to the world! KInda scary, lol!
Im from the UK and was in Jasper a couple of weeks ago and the smoke was intense there Bro. Did Bald Mountain and had no view at all, very weird. Still visible from Hay River NWT. Crazy!
That's nuts. It really puts a damper on things. I mean it sucks on so many levels. Jasper is so epic, too bad the views weren't the best. I guess you have to go back sometime! Banff next time maybe?
Before I started following you my blood pressure was 147/98. Now after adopting a more whole foods plant based diet (rarely do I eat meat, but on occasion during a family gathering) I was able to lower my blood pressure to 122/60! Amazing! Thanks for all the inspiring content!

Hope you will stay healthy for lifetime.
I NEVER want Derek's vids to End!!!!!
“Crystal spotted something. Must be food”.
lol
She’s like me.
Hardee Quinn Me too! I’ve been accused of thinking only of food!
I loved the live, unexpected events that unfold as you are doing this video. Its so real. This one was one of my favorites so far. I also love seeing Crystal! Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Oh that's awesome. It was weird to film, I'm used to having a plan. But I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.
I freaking LOVED this vlog!!!!!!! You and crystal are so awesome and inspiring!
Yay! Im glad you enjoyed it. Took a while to get the edit to where I was happy, but I think it was worth it.
I’m total fan girl-ing right now! Can’t believe you replied! Lol. I love your what I eat in a day vlogs! P.s Happy birthday crystal! My birthday is just 2 days after hers! 😁 keep up all the great work and positivity!
❤❤❤
Great video! I love when you bring us along on your and Crystal's adventures!! :)
Yay thats great. I'm glad you came along!
Every time I see someone do the “hang loose/ surfer hand thing” I laugh because that is how you sign yellow in sign language!!! Makes it seem that everyone is just randomly saying YELLOW!!!
Beautiful BC never fails to impress! Even with the smoke. With the fires will come reforestation down the road. Glad you got your peaches.
Loved how you involved Crystal in your workout :D She is so used to it, beeing like "Yeah. Whatever, I'm reading" - you two are goals!
HAha, yah, unfazed by it.
the beatbox with "stand by me" was amazing.
Whenever I have an unhealthy day of eating, I try to go mostly raw the next day to clean out my system! Always feels like the right thing to do when I listen to my body.
It sure felt good for me. Digestion was A+++. I was just thinking of salty stir fry's the entire night though. Lol. Thanks for the continued support.

Simnett Nutrition Of course brotha! You’re a life changer-don’t ever forget that haha
*Simnett Nutrition* Derek can you show us your full blood test results? Why do you never show us or talk about it?
I hello myself with enemas after bad eating day
I could be a fruitarian! Love fruit! 🍇 🍈 🍉 🍏 🍎 🍊 🍑
Fantastic video Derek. The footage of the smoke from the fire was beautiful. I enjoyed watching you and Crystal out and about having fun.
Thanks Dane. I appreciate the comment man. Yes, it made for some dramatic footage.
I loved this video. Inspiring and relaxing at the same time. Life is full of possibilities. Sending love 💚
That song in the beginning had me moving! Good vibes!
And I must say, Derek you are looking shredded!
This video is just what I needed today. Thank you.
Looks like it was a lot of fun! Thanks for vlogging for us!!
I live in Newfoundland and the skies have been hazy here and the moon has been a different color because of the fires from BC. The smoke is travelling all across the country. I can't imagine being so close to it like you guys are.
You can get sprouted coconut a lot in Kerala beaches, as you should know the beaches are famous for the coconuts.
Fun time, smoke and all! Inspiring idea, to eat more fruit, fruit, fruit!
Watching you do push ups off crystals legs made me laugh lots 😂
That fruit looked delicious! Great video.
Thank you! Yes, all so ripe!
Must be so fun, glad you all had a good time.
John is awesome! I learned about being a vegan for the first time on his channel back in 2013. Derek, you are looking shredded man!
Yah, I've been following him for a while too! He's got some great info.
I love your on the road videos, I've never been to Canada and I'm living vicariously through you guys.
Oh the roads were amazing. Such fun driving roads.
Come to Australia, Derek, you can drive roads for days and still be in the same state.
Visiting Vancouver & The Rockies right now. Marvellous place. Thanks for all your health tips x

Everyone looks so happy! I personally enjoyed the "scatter" of this vlog 😄

Love your vlogs as always.
The way you jump around Crystal while she is reading 😂
I don't know.. It was like.. If there is a man around.. But.. I stop here.. She is so cute.. But he thinks about.. Fruit and vegetables..
Looked like a fun time man. Nothing better than a ripe peach.
I’ve watched this video a few times... 😆 some people watch sitcoms in the background Simnett is one of my go-tos. Oh my gosh that fruit... a fruit festival is definitely on my list of things to do and I must say getting caught in the rain like that I’m sure was crazy and cool at the same time. Keep it honest😉
Omg this vlog is awesome
12:33 i like how you incorporated Crystal into your workout 😊
Another one coming up tomorrow with her in it! Thank you. 🙏🙏
You two are an inspiration!
I loved this blog! And all that fruit 😍😍
Awesome video again derek! Always happy when i see you pop up in my list 👍
Thanks for the nice comment! Always happy to see these pop up!
You rocked the bandana sir!
Was so curious what “sprouted” coconut was, but after seeing the picture I knew immediately! I’m from the island of Saipan, and in my culture, we refer to that as Få’å or Fåha! One of the locals favorite treat we love it
atmosphere looks awesome! great vlog, as always
So cool! You've inspired me to start looking into any vegan/plant-friendly events near me! One question though: was protein of any concern that weekend for you eating so much fruit? How do fruititarians handle that? Love the content Derek, keep it up!
I like blush Lane too! It was good meeting you at the festival brother 😊
I would have loved to see y'all dancing lol I really enjoyed your videos didn't expect this much content from the title great video Derek love your channel
Been choking on that smoke all week. Pretty bad the last couple days. Even some light ash covering things. Just came back from outside, noticed a little wetness on the ground and cars. Hope yall are getting some up north as well!
Your country is so beautiful. ( Cristal spotted something...must be food lol sorry )
Haha, yup. Always on the lookout.
I live across the water in the States - Port Angeles - the smoke is crazy! I feel so bad for the animals that cannot go inside 😭 Love your vids 🌱
Awesome video I really enjoyed that! Wish I were there
Man! I dream of going to such a cool festival! Definitely a cool video, for sure!
Hahahaha when you were using Crystal for training, hahahahaha
LOL, John from Grow your greens was a speaker. He is really a good person to follow about things. Anyway, just wanted to say nice trip and thanks for the smoke, its coming down into the US. (cough, cough) We are also having a lot of fires here to so be careful and drink a lot of water.
Wow man, you are so lucky. You live in an wonderful place!
Awesome! Can’t beat fresh BC fruit. Was that a compass on your dashboard, looking for a good one that works in the car.
WHAT A FUN VLOG
Great vlog!
Eating on the road is always a problem for me, thank for the ideas.
Every year in Italy big parts of the woods burn :( . According to some locals, there are people who set a fire on purpose to get a job (they help the fire fighters).
A funny thing is that in Rome sometimes you can find desert sand (coming from North Africa) on the roofs of the cars. Some winds can be so strong!
the sand is from the punic wars :)
Thinking about the fruit fest reminded me; Crystal, do you not eat any grains? You must eat beans and lentils? The fruit diet is tempting to try for a week or so. I imagine that includes greens?
trying vegetarian and hope can move onto vegan soon ^^ ya such an inspiration man luv from HK!
Yay Tammy! You can make it, start the journey. =)
Milk is liquid meat.
Yeeees! Keep it up! you can do it💪💪
What's holding
you back from fully vegan??
Do you cook, iow,

Dang. I know you get them bad down there too.
How come you never talked about your amazing Nissan? That's surprising me everytime I see it in your videos. Considering you're such a cars lover
Yes, I'm torn on this. I love it so much, but don't want it to appear I am flexing or showing off. It's not at all about that for me, I am just a true car lover and love all cars.

@@Simnettnutrition I'm sure that's a nice story! Looking forward to hear about it in a ask me Monday video
Love this vlog
Thanks for watching it!
Yw 😊
Thanks for another great video mate!
I was eating bbq "chicken" from a local place while watching this lol! Love the 350, cool to see a vegan car enthusiast. Keep up the awesome work!
HAha, yeah, I try my best to keep my love for cars away from this channel, but I'm glad you see it ;)
Vancouver is very nice I remember visiting with I lived in Washington State!!! Awesome 👏🏾 😁
Very cool! I used to go to Washington for Trader Joes! B Ham. :D
I enjoy your vlog a lot ! Keep doing this type of vlog
Okay, very cool! Will do. Thanks for the vote!
that looks like so much fun!! all the fruit looks amazing
I hope there’s another Canada Fruit Fest next year, I would LOVE to go.
Yes, there will be!
Hey Derek, will you be on London's next Vegfest this year?
Just figuring that out right now. Should I?
Simnett Nutrition please come Derek I wanna meet you
@@Simnettnutrition absolutely :D what is a vegfest without the Vivo crew !
Z350 congrats again, exhaust sounds good!
Thanks!
Great vid! It looked like a great gathering - thanks for sharing!
Yes, super fun. Thank you.
Thanks man for encouraging people to thrive in a plant-based diet. Greetings from Argentina!
Thanks man! Happy to inspire!
Wondering how you would like "Cajuína", a natural drink made entirely from cashews, but so sweet you think it's sugar.. rich on iron, too :)
I would probably love it.
Where do you get it?
.............or just do a trip around Brasil's northeast! and you may find it nearly everywhere :)
Lovely video Derek! Was all the fruit for free!?
Hey Derek, I know it is a long shot but are you going to attend International Istanbul Vegfest in september. It would be cool if you did, no pressure though. Great video by the way, eating fruit all day long with friends sounds fun. Greetings from Turkey.
No I won't be!
I live in the Fraser valley. Where was that organic fruit stand?!?! 💜
That wildfire smoke came all the way to Minnesota (I live there)
Wow. Yah, so much is on fire it's so sad. Apparently the 'new norm'.
love these videos!! just a quick question, why do you always mention that your corn is organic? I thought that it was on the clean 15 list.
I'm from California, there's quite a bit of fires here! 😥 Love all the fruit you bought.
Hey Derek! Where do I get a water bottle like yours? Been searching for a good one but mostly they’re made out of plastic.
Thank you so much for the great content!
You guys are so f'n cool frfr! Not tryin to be a swagger jacker but where do you get your workout shorts?? Mahalos brodda
the shorts are from lululemon.
this vlog reminded me that here at brasil we got a huge variety of fruit.. and have many native ones, like jabuticaba, guava, pineapple (yep, they're not from hawaii), cocoa, cashew, passionfruit.. and the list goes on. the thing is.. most of these are exported and are difficult to find at local markets :/
This looks like heaven man
It was fun!
This video..! Loved it so much! So much fun and healthy delicious raw foods!
Penticton 💜 I live here!
what's the song in 8:11?! it's so fricking good!
Also the festival looked amazing and I enjoyed this unique what I eat in a day
I live in Washington State and that smoke was killer last year 😷
That looks like such a good time!
Super fun!
comment for support
So crazy bc Rawvana Yovana isn’t even vegan anymore! She was one of the first people i subscribed and I still see her videos but it’s not the same. I get not doing raw but no one can convince me that meat and processed foods are better than whole food plant based vegan diet after everything I’ve learned. I feel for her!
Just ate a juicy peach watching this. I felt like I was there! 😉 more “scattered” videos like this for sure. Thanks.
Oh gosh, no way. Really? I can, it's kind of fun when there is a lot of movement in the videos like this. Maybe I will do more.
That’d be cool! I think spontaneity sprinkled in once in a while is fun to watch. It’s raw!
Hey hey! We are going camping for two days at Port Renfrew, and we will be eating raw fruit and greens!! And NO cell phone or access to the world! KInda scary, lol!
Im from the UK and was in Jasper a couple of weeks ago and the smoke was intense there Bro. Did Bald Mountain and had no view at all, very weird. Still visible from Hay River NWT. Crazy!
That's nuts. It really puts a damper on things. I mean it sucks on so many levels. Jasper is so epic, too bad the views weren't the best. I guess you have to go back sometime! Banff next time maybe?
"They don't wanna see me eat a banana!" 😂😂😂😂
Please do a meetup in Vancouver soon
I enjoyed this video.
I'm glad you did.
So was that Airbnb super cheap because of the fires?
Hey Love Munchkin great to see you
