Great to have you back! Had brain surgery last Christmas and I’m now vegan. Super helpful to have a vegan bodybuilder to look up to
Ah wow I hope you’re doing better now! Best of luck in that journey. Appreciate your support too.
Hang in there and glad you are doing ok. Only way I’d be Vegan is if I had brain surgery and they changed me while I was under.
@@davidrosenthal5795 Reason being?
Hope your doing good bro! Keep truckin stay strong
@@davidrosenthal5795 History will only remember you as a nameless face of the millions who were complicit in the greatest act of cruelty this planet has ever known.
I finished the You Are What You Eat series on Netflix and just saw your channel in my feed. I'm so glad I found you! I became Vegan 4 years ago and have lost over 100lbs so far. I'm hoping to lose another 80lbs and start bulking up. You're definitely motivating me. Thank you!
I just saw the same series and excited to learn about gaining muscle mass as a vegan (which i am not but planning to transition)
Same here !!
Same I'm glad. But also it's kind of terrifying how these companies are putting what you're watching into your phone cuz you're just tracking everybody. I hate it but here I am
Not even vegan, but I’m trying to eat less meat possible (for healthy issues) that’s looks very simple and healthy, thank you very much for sharing.
How do you know someone isn't vegan? They'll tell you!
@made.online2149 how do you know someone's vegan. They will tell you and tell you you are an animal murderer 😂
Do you know about DIAAS? Why are you vegan?
Health issues are the only reason i went vegan, animals and the environment are a plus. Media wants to make it about only animals and the environment.
@@IzzzyStarzzz a plus?🧐 agriculture kills ecosystems. Mono cropping kills everything. Animals and the environment 🤣
So glad you are back to posting this type of content! Thank you!
Broccoli stems are hella nutritious - don't let these go to waste! Chop up as small as you need
Glad to you have you back Nimai!
As someone who has struggled for most of my life being underweight, this video has me focused to put on some healthy weight once and for all.
Keep it up and thank you my friend!
Thank you, Nimai! We’ve been fans for years! Keep spreading the Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle ❤❤❤
This is how I eat too. No recipes; no complicated dishes… Simple is best! I tell ppl that this is my recipe: put food in a bowl and eat it. 😊🌱 (whole foods, that is)
Thank you for acknowledging you aren’t a chef, makes me feel SO much better. Nice to know I can keep it simple, and still make my protein goals without all the fluff. So Thankyou!
This video just makes me so happy for many reasons. Excellent production, wise advice on nutrition and wellness, the music in the background, just all around a complete vibe. Thank you Nimai!
Glad you enjoyed it!
There is a product called "souper cubes" which are rectangular silicone molds that help you freeze your soup and save space by being able to stack them. Also helps you get consistent serving sizes :) great video
I was truly inspired by your documentary on Netflix. I'm now on a journey to better my health and the environment. Thank you!
So glad your making content on youtube again!!! Also just bought your pre workout for the first time and it’s straight 🔥😍
This man’s a godsend.
Much respect & love for the transmission of knowledge
🙏🏿🖤
This is such a perfect video, so helpful. I was able to take the information I know in my head and actually take action on it. Love your simple approach, it made me inspired to plan out my meals the past couple of days and this video made it really really easy to implement.
Happy you shared this. We need more simple high-protein vegan recipe content! I also use a rice cooker and air fryer in tandem to cook meals and it’s good to bring the word out there more
Thank you for taking the time to explain and show us how simple your meal preps are. 🙏
Great video! I love how real you are. It's so refreshing! Thanks for an amazing video! :)
Excellent laid back clean video! You're such a good person, Nimai. I feel BLESSED to follow you! Keep them TH-cam videos coming (not shorts tho)!
Just a heads up for anyone who loves coffee like I do. Caffeine decreases the amount of vitamins and minerals your body can absorb, so it's best to avoid drinking it with any meals just so you get all your vitamins from our meals.
Caffeine is so bad. I quit drinking it and never looked back. Better sleep, better digestion, less anxiety.
source?
One thing that has really helped me is have 4 lunch meals that I rotate between and batch cook when needed. Then they can be put in the microwave for convenience.
I do something similar
Like this idea
Yay, great job on your video, information, and presentation. You're a big strong guy but you're also so darling. So happy your voice is out there. I went vegan for the animals over 20 years ago. Of course that benefits me and the planet as well. I've been wanting to build my body more and found your video really helpful, how to do it in a healthy and thoughtful (and compassionate) way. I'm so proud of you! Thanks for the video.
Love the video. Thank you. I would love to see you do shorter videos explaining your morning shakes and supplements for non bodybuilders. Your overall message is an inspiration to me. TK
Awesome video Nimai! This is a great style of video and look forward to this type of content.
Loved you in the documentary ❤ Thank you for contributing to a positive change in this world.
Loved the video man! Nice to see you making content on here again!!
This was a great video. I made a grocery list and menu while watching it. Great/easy ideas and info!
Amazing video 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 so helpful. Going to prep these same foods this week
"Tofu is pretty bland by itself. I would imagine like chicken". I love this. It comes from someone who never had meat in his life. I envy you. Wish my parents had raised me vegetarian at least.
It's never late at any age. I started at 46. You will get your benefits.
@@slaffkas Oh I am vegan now and have been for 17 years. Just wish I had been since birth, that's all. Congrats on you for switching your diet.
Love seeing vegan bodybuilders online, it just sucks how poorly they are treated by angry, misinformed people, for literally no reason. Hope to see more content from this channel, stay successful brother.
Veganism tends to draw out irrational anger from strangers. Must be a defense mechanism for them.
@@NoInjusticeLastsForever that’s what I always thought it was, they put up a wall so they don’t have to talk about their own actions
Too bad humans are inherently carnivores and can't digest plants
@@NoInjusticeLastsForever When the truth of the matter is that things they enjoy & are familiar with are responsible for the most horrific atrocity this planet has ever known, people will come up with any excuse to not change.
To those critics, I say my gains are much better on vegan, and I recover much faster, usually overnight.
Would love more videos like this on high protein vegan meals, was vegan for 5 years and fell off and went vegetarian. Would also love to hear about your path into Hinduism if that’s something you’d be interested in.🙏
I appreciate your rational explanations and humility. Such an inspiration
I love this type of prep work. I "ingredient prep" instead of "meal prep"...... a lot of different containers of items, to then toss together as I want them! I am a newbie here.... from Derek Simnett's channel. Hi from Northern Minnesota 🙂
Love the vibe of this whole thing !
Thank you!!! This was so helpful. Please make more of these, it as great.
I just watched you on Netflix. That show changed the way I look at food and myself. I have a lot of health issues high blood pressure borderline diabetic other heart issues high cholesterol etc. I am ready to make a change in myself and my life. That show showed me I could still eat things I like and be healthy while doing it. I just wanted to say thank you 🙏 I found you while searching for vegan recipes. I usually am strictly a meat eater and if it doesn’t have meat it’s not a meal. I have decided for myself to make a change. I just subscribed to your channel so that I can get an idea of what it means to be vegan and cook like a vegan.
Top tip to remove all pesticides from fruit and veggies is to soak them in water with a tsp of bicarbonate of soda. Studies have shown that a 15minute soak removed all residues and pesticides, those veggie washes didn’t seem to do much except remove soil and surface dirt. ❤
Great to see you back on TH-cam Nimai! 🤙
nice to have you back
Who is here after watching “ you are what you eat” ?
Great video!!!! I would love to see more recipe videos! Love to see the variety you have bro.
Thank you!
you are one of the people prove that vegan can be fit, really appreciate that! healthy and strong to the world. way to go bro 💪
Awesome meal plan nice and simple is key. I'm sold on buying an air fryer! Thanks Nimai!
looks so informative, this is helpful, thankful for your content!
Hi Nimai, so glad to found you again here, I was following you on IG but I quit. I have been vegetarian/ vegan for about 10 years now but recently I’ve been struggling with my time to cook. You are such a great inspiration. Thank you very much. Saludos desde México city ❤
Thank you bro for this video .. im happy u used the air fryer .. u just helped me out big time 💯
we need more videos from you !! especially meal prep content
More to come!
Glad you're back
Thank you for this video Nimai!
Thanks for this. Looks very similar to what I eat in a day. Good to meet you in Vancouver at Planted Expo. Cheers!
Nice to see you back on TH-cam man
I like your approach. Thanks for posting this :)
YAY!!!! LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!!! THANK YOU!!!!🌻🙌
Yes love this video! Please make more videos about meals that you make. I hate cooking and always find it hard to make vegetarian/vegan meals. I feel like I eat the same thing all of the time.
🙏🏻
Nimai I love to show you off to all my buddies who say, protein though
And yes, they are impressed, especially my girl friends 😉
Thanks for your awesome videos 👍
Best wishes to you and your family and Happy New Year ✌️
Appreciate that your back and better then ever !! I like the meals it gives me ideas. I struggle when I go to family gatherings or out over to a None vegans friends home. Any advice ? Maybe a future video ?? 😊
That’s a really great idea for a future video. Thanks for the suggestion!
Make a vegan casserole and veg on the side as a bring along dish and have that.
@@CS-pi5oc I second this!
My partner is an omnivore and I'm vegetarian. So, whenever we go to parties, I make sure to have options for myself and if people aren't interested in it, more for me. 😂
I just looked up the supplements shown in this vid and they seem very healthy and legit! Probably the best ingredient I’ve seen for protein, especially without added sugar
Love people who shows off the possibilities in the vegan diet! It doesn't have to be boring, and you're easily able to gain muscle on such diet! :D
things are very diferent when you are over 40,
and without protein supplements,and no soy,seitan,products,
is not easy at all,on the contrary
@@razonyespiritu True.
Protein is really difficult to get on vegan diet.
Plus soyabean messes with haromones a lot🙈
@@spellcheck5393 It doesnt, its a myth. Check literally all studies lol
@@razonyespiritu For almost all of human history, food was scarce. Meat wasn't eaten for every meal- nor was it eaten every day, nor even every week. There simply wasn't enough of it to do so.
And yet, most people were stronger then than the average human today, despite supposedly not having enough protein due to low meat consumption. Why do you think that is?
A lot of money has been spent to falsely convince you that what we do to animals is necessary.
@@tenr0h Search "Dr. Fuhrman myths about soy", he has a nice article on it.
I love to cook, but usually anything that's ready fast. I'd live to cook with you once 😄 I find simple vegan meals are the ice breakers for non vegans too, many of my friends and clients ask for the recipes and try them. Love to see when they enjoy eating that way and how they feel with meatless meals. I'm glad we will see you more here too❤
this is so inspiring. i have been trying to lose weight as a slightly overweight, high body fat vegan and failing because i haven't found high-protein foods that i enjoy incorporating into my diet in enough quantity to fulfill my protein needs. this channel is really helping me think of ways to do that.
My biggest breakthrough was upping my tofu game. It's a complete protein and there are so many delicious things you can make with it. I think it has a bad rep solely because most people have never had it prepared right, but following some recipes will fix that.
As far as body fat, though- it's really just CICO, calories in vs calories out. You could eat less, but the better solution is to eat *more* of less calorically dense foods. For me that's often just cooking up a huge pot of lentils with some veg like carrots or tomates or spinach that take up a lot of space but not a lot of calories. I feel super full from eating a lot but it's less calories than a plate of processed nuggets in sugary sauces.
Also- I really wouldn't worry too much about getting 'enough protein'. Most people in the western world, especially carnists, eat more protein than they could possibly ever use. Only the true upper echelons of body builders really need extra. Remember that for much of human history, all food was scarce, and yet people still survived while being stronger than the average person today!
Because you're supposed to eat meat buddy
Mannnn I appreciate this video wish more vegans athletes gave out tips like this I been vegetarian for two years & started a fitness journey aswell so I really appreciate 🤝🔥
Wohoo hi nimai ! I’m checking in a new air fryer 😅 I just sow the one you using 😍 thank you for this video !
Thanks for the video. Gotta start using the air fryer especially for tofu. I use the same tofu but don’t like it much since I cook it on the stove top. Lentil soup is easy to make and comes out great in an Instant Pot.
Love this! More content like this please!! My husband has done your shred program twice. It's nice to see how you cook and eat daily!!
Love this NimaiI! Thank you for this bc I pretty much make the same foods as staple & maybe 1 recipe different for the week. On the path of intuitive eating.
wow ! I am at vegetarian / vegan diet for 4/7 days . definitely will try to get there ! you are a great inspiration
Great video Nimai - kuddos to you for sharing your health and nutrition journey.
Killerness brother! A couple things I would love to see is how you would go about coaching different levels of clientele with weight lifting and how you would advise them nutritionally depending on their goals. Starting with someone beginning their weight lifting journey, to a fitness enthusiast to a fellow elite athlete, it would be awesome to see how you coach them and how you advise them on their nutritional intakes before, during and after their workout. Veganism is awesome and we need more representation in the gym to demonstrate the gains of plant power! Love your perspective(s) brother, keep up the great work!
I'll keep that in mind for future content. Thank you for the suggestion.
Love the smoothie! I actually make a similar one each day but I toss in a 1/2 cup of white beans for added protein and fiber:)
Welcome back to TH-cam 🙌🏽
Great to see you back please can we see lots
LOVE this vid!!! thank you.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I just subscribed. Hope to see more. Peace!
super video, thanks so much for making these
I'd love to see a lot more recipes+ i am getting ready for calisthenics ❤️
Thank you. Great video. Do you have a list of the supplements and foods you mentioned in this video?
Love the what I eat! Keep doing them
Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed your input on the Netflix documentary You Are What You Eat.
I love it! You are an inspiration to many!🙂
AGREE 100%
Great content man! Would love to hear your thoughts on the controversy around ashwagandha and your overall experience with it
A video about your workout routine (including cardio) would be awesome🏋️
Nimai you are a gem to this world 👌
This is really helpful as someone who has been attempting to gain muscle on a plant based diet. I really appreciate how organized and calm you are.
Plant based isn’t healthy
@@adelam8670 LOL then why are you here?
@@jordansmithchannel to help you. Eat grassfed beef ribeye, pasture raised organic eggs,
you thought you had yourself some prey, huh? Lol. We eat food that is vibrant with color and life, not death.
@@sschreck08 you’re contradicting yourself. Red meat is vibrant also eggs
You are an inspiration mate proving what vegan ism can do for someone who does it properly respect mate
i love see you back
LOVE THIS!!! As a Vegan I love seeing athletes bust silly protein myths. You’re awesome.
Looks great! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thank you I needed this.
You are so inspiring. You inspire me to eat more veggies. You’re easy on the eyes too 🥵
I’ve needed this video so bad
Your competence is to calm everyone down all the time. You're good at it. You are the lifeguard of the Planet all the time. Congratulations. We need real fructorians and vegans. I respect the convinced and honest wagans who respect me. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗
You’re back!
awesome video! very informative looking good!
Omg thank you soooooooo much, that’s the bets way to eat. A lot not too often, healthy... omg thanks.
Very interesting video. I'd love more like this one, showing another meals you usually eat
I plan to make many more to show the variety of meals I normally eat.
@@NimaiDelgado 👏👏👏😀
@@NimaiDelgado Variation of the meals is the next challenge Nimai...
Thank you for this, I am raising my kiddo plant based and you are an inspiration that it can be done and she can thrive on it. More videos like this please!
Please read the book "Becoming Vegan: The Complete Reference to Plant-Based Nutrition (Comprehensive Edition)" by Brenda Davis, RD and Vesanto Melina, MS RD for proper vegan nutrition guidance.
Refer to chapter 9 : Expecting vegans- Pregnancy and Lactation.
And chapter 10 : growing Vegans
Happy vegan journey!
I was raised vegan along with my two brothers. No supplementation beyond b12 enriched plant milk. My parents educated themselves which im very thankful for. You got this.
Good stuff, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. What brand are the b12 supplements?
Keeping the prepared food in separate pyrex dishes a the best thing . Food Taste fresh . served in the bowl when ready to eat 👍
I love my smoothies. I combine fruit, vegetables, pea protein isolate, and beet powder for the N.O. I drink one before and during my workouts. My energy, lifts, and pumps are crazy. To those who say not to blend your fruit because it doubles the sugar content that results in a huge insulin spike and sugar crash are all wet. I never experience a crash after drinking blended fruit. ✌️🤙
Good to see you again
