This video is family friendly. The title is referring to a high fat diet making your big pants baggy, as you lose weight.

How I lost 145 lbs in 14 months, cured my acid reflux, lost my joint pain, and lowered my triglycerides, by eating butter and other healthy fats.

Did you know Butter can make your pants fall off?

Neither did I until I started eating butter and cream and bacon and eggs and Fatty cuts of chicken cooked in good old fashioned lard.

I lost 145 pounds in 14 months and was amazed to see eating Butter made my size 54 pants fall off.

I’m not kidding when I say Butter Makes Your Pants Fall Off

I’m living proof that it worked for me and know it will work for you.

Hello, my name is Bob, I’m fifty years old, I’m not a diet guru, I’m just an average working class guy and I know my story sounds crazy, but I hope you’ll hear me out if you’re fat and sick and hurting, I hope you’ll give me a few minutes of your time, because I believe my story could really change your life.

Bob Briggs details his personal weight loss journey, explaining that he lost 145 pounds in 14 months by embracing a high-fat, low-carb diet. His story serves to inspire those who might feel hopeless about their weight.

Insulin Resistance

He introduces the concept of insulin resistance, which affects individuals with a belly fat problem, highlighting how this condition inhibits fat burning and leads to weight gain. He believes that understanding insulin's role is crucial to combating obesity.

Dietary Changes

Challenging Diet Norms

Briggs questions traditional weight-loss wisdom that equates calories with body weight. He asserts that the quality of food consumed, particularly the types of carbohydrates, plays a larger role in weight gain than caloric intake alone.
