Butter Bob is Back- Butter Makes your Pants Fall Off LIVESTREAM!
In a Nutshell
Butter Bob returns to YouTube after years away, sharing his 2014 viral video's origin (explaining insulin resistance simply via low-carb/carnivore to drop 100+ lbs post-wife's death) and recommitting to transparent carnivore updates at age 62, eating 2MAD (meat, eggs, bacon) with 18-hour fasts for optimal protein and energy. Carnivore heals root causes like insulin resistance and inflammation—reversing diabetes, cancer survival (e.g., Jeff's 30 months), mental health, and more—outperforming modern medicine; prioritize strict elimination (no nuts/processed low-carb), electrolytes, listening to body signals, and fat-focused animal foods for long-term vitality like 83-year-old Rancher Maggie. Community stories, Weston Price insights, and faith underscore rejecting carb addiction for freedom, family longevity, and thriving without pharma.

Carrie from Healing Humanity welcomes Butter Bob to the channel. She expresses excitement and honor in interviewing him, highlighting his impact since his 2014 video, 12 years ago. Carrie shares her personal story: 12 years ago she was depressed, anxious, overweight, trying standard medical care without success, with triplets plus one needing to be a good dad. She regrets not finding Butter Bob's video earlier but found her way via Dante Farignone's video. She notes similarities between Butter Bob and Dante: passionate individuals, not doctors, explaining insulin, carbs simply, making viewers wonder why doctors don't say this.
Carrie invites chat comments, love, and questions for Butter Bob. Assumes new viewers, some carnivores, some on the fence.
In 2012, Butter Bob's wife passed away from mental illness. He was a zombie: heavy, broke, friendless, self-isolated from family due to depression. At oldest son Junior's college graduation in Nashville, he couldn't fit in chairs with railings, had to sit in nosebleeds (mentioned in his video). Decided to change his messed-up life.
Searched for weight loss help, found Jimmy Moore's Livin' La Vida Low Carb podcast. Watched interviews with doctors, scientists like Gary Taubes, Jason Fung, read their books. Tried low carb diet, lost weight over a year and few months.
Working-class mentality, wanted to explain simply for those not reading 20 books. Drove around thinking, recorded audio on phone, transcribed longhand for weeks into a script for "Butter Makes Your Pants Fall Off." Scripted, not spontaneous, explained complex ideas simply, even for a child. Filmed early morning after night shift with phone on TV cabinet, script on stand. Uploaded to YouTube (most videos die without audience). Jimmy Moore shared it, leading to 2.2 million views.
Carrie praises reaching unheard voices. Butter Bob credits Jimmy Moore (checkered past, prays for him and ex-wife) for sharing. Video helped many, including himself. Produced years of researched videos.
Carrie's documentary took massive work (PTSD nightmares). Butter Bob's video: 2.2 million views, almost 7,000 comments. Example comments:
It saved my life and made me healthier and happier than ever. The diet changed my life and saved it. Well done for sharing your story so others can save themselves too. The lives you have saved and are saving are millions you will save eventually. You changed my life like no one else did. Thank you so much. God bless you. You changed my life in 2018 and you still do. I just wanted to say I miss you. I've been on the carnivore diet for three years and it's absolutely changed my life.
Butter Bob feels humble, upset with himself for leaving channel late 2016/2017 (18,500 subscribers), thought he'd failed despite helping people. Stayed away from carnivore world until grandchildren asked him back this year. Reading comments, realized he let people down by not interacting. Vowed to change, be more personal. Won't know full impact until heaven. If you save one person besides yourself, great. Small channels/videos saving lives matter.
Carrie's daughter Emma (one of triplets), vegan 6 years (killing her), went carnivore after seeing Carrie's success, now does YouTube 2 years inspiring young people who wouldn't watch Carrie's channel.
Small world: Carrie worked with Jimmy Moore on Livin' La Vida Low Carb app years ago. Inspired by Tom Naughten's Netflix documentary Fat Head (filmed on old camcorder, well-researched), tried keto for years. Connected via Tom (friends on Twitter). Prays for Jimmy, believes in redemption in diet, family, life as a Christian.
Carrie notes video kept inspiring (2.2M views, 7K comments) while Butter Bob was away. Feels like a plan; now sharing current journey more powerful than original (shows healing). People track his progress: month 2, 3, 6. He's transparent: shows belly, weight, dimensions, unflattering videos. Knows the way back.
2013 Butter Bob was defeated, mentally washed out. Now fat but stable, happy, good family relations, business, happiest ever (not because fat). Will have more fun this time, less conscious of opinions, honest (religious thoughts, etc.), no persona.
Carrie values his realness, ruffles feathers. Compares to Dante Farignone: honesty, no incentive but sharing healing after suffering. Mainstream biased; refreshing truth.
Butter Bob watched Dante's videos (recent struggles), encourages him: take breaks, don't quit 10 years, channels don't make real money (more flipping burgers), don't feel failure. Doing good is encouragement. Man of faith.
~2 months back on carnivore/YouTube, healing. Son joined. Feels much better, not skinny yet. Bumps: pre-Todd Becker interview phone call (2.5 hours), Todd said not eating enough (OMAD not sufficient). Experimented, researched: at 62, needs >1 meal/day for protein (not high protein extreme; ~0.8g/lb vs RDA 0.36g/lb, double for older; some say 1g/lb desired weight, but he doesn't calculate).
Eats meat, eggs, bacon (BBB). OMAD couldn't hit protein. Old website articles (found recently): ate two meals a day (OMAD) first time losing weight. Now back to 2MAD, fasts 18 hours, occasional 24s, rare 48. Busy life, can't be draggy. Older people need regular protein (younger maybe not).
Carrie agrees: her eating changes (100lbs heavier starting). Eats till full, no specifics/weights. Carnivore nuance: not just animal products; fat/protein ratio varies, electrolytes crucial early (body flushes).
New people starting carnivore often mess up by not getting enough electrolytes because the body flushes out a lot of things they're not prepared for. There's a lot of nuance, so do more research first and fully understand it before starting. Don't measure everything; listen to your body. If fatigued, getting cramps, or something's off, ask questions, change things, reach out to the community. Don't do the same thing for months and suffer—that's insanity. Switch it up and change a little bit.
Many come to carnivore for weight loss—like being 100 pounds overweight—but realize it's healing everything. Getting rid of insulin resistance and inflammation fixes diabetes, mental health, hormonal issues. If you stall, ask: did you stall or is your body prioritizing healing? Maybe fatty liver or inflammation—body heals that before weight loss. Weight will come off eventually if done properly. Greater the wound, longer it takes to heal. Some get quick results, others take longer.
Bill in Alaska lost over 360 pounds from 700 pounds—more than half the man he used to be. Three weeks into carnivore, knee pain and lower back pain gone, even before major weight loss. Mood improved. Favorite moment: first time in over 10 years he wanted to get out of bed and do something. Subscribe to Bill and Daisy Alaska's channel (YouTube messed him over). His story inspires, ripple effect saves lives. Community helps put people on path to healing.
Jeff (Prosperous Kitchen) incredible story—watched his videos, cried at the end. Beautiful soul, ripple effect long after he's gone. Became close friend. Lived life to fullest every day, best father and husband—even did live streams from car at soccer practice. In Healing Humanity documentary with Bill, Lynn, and 60 total interviews (430 hours footage). Jeff inspired many with cancer. Initially skeptical: what does cancer have to do with carnivore? Learned from Professor Seyfried and others: cancer often from chronic systemic inflammation damaging mitochondria over years from foods eaten. Explains rise in cancer now.
Doctors gave Jeff 3 months: inoperable, incurable, palliative, terminally ill. Thrived 30 months (10 times longer) with diet, fasting, regimen—carnivore biggest part. Anthony Hadick (stage 4 cancer) learned from Jeff's YouTube, now thriving, credits carnivore. Countless comments from hopeless cancer diagnoses. Jeff's message: carnivore as tool in toolbox—cancer feeds on glutamine and glucose, limit with proper human diet. Did chemo too. Criminal modern medicine says cancer/diabetes genetic fluke, nothing to do—give cookies, orange juice, candy during chemo.
Root cause of diseases is insulin resistance and related: cancer, Alzheimer's—all branches of the tree. Spider web growing from trunk. Everyone in doctor's office has branch of this tree. About money. History: graveyards show if made it out of childhood, lived as long or longer (70s, 80s, 90s) without medicine. High childhood mortality, but adults thrived. Medicine not making us live to 150; designed for 100-120 years.
Rancher Maggie at 83: won't slow down, could live to 120-125. Science shows we should live to that age, but barely make 80s with 10 years suffering, mobility issues, inflammation.
Found healing: overcame depression, lost weight, got rid of IBS. Big why now: be like Maggie, be there for grandkids, walk kids down aisle, grow old with spouse. Comments like "you saved my life"—reversed type 2 diabetes—may live 20-40 more years, avoid cancer, Alzheimer's, dementia without insulin resistance/inflammation. Mindset: if depressed, health doesn't matter. Awake, happy, chasing goals worth a lot.
Frustrating when family suffers, won't try carnivore. Jeff would do anything to avoid stage 4. Default state: grateful, blessed every day—not from insulin resistance, inflammation, brain fog. Weston Price: tribes happy, healthy, nice teeth, bone structure, easy births.
Weston Price book: poor villagers happier, thriving. Malformed mouths—teeth don't fit—from wrong foods. Malformed pelvises, high C-sections. Nature/God didn't create women unable to birth naturally (exceptions ok, not as common). Normalize slowly: teeth not fitting, amputations, blindness, kids' depression/anxiety/fatty liver "just the way it is." In lifetime, few fat kids—now 30-50% overweight in classrooms. Victims of crime on humanity.
Daughter's saying: "you do you, I'll do me." Not my pay grade to judge—up to God. Everyone has faith, even atheists. Prayed before dinner in short, got comments: your problem, I'll pray for you. 250 unsubs since more expressive with faith—wish them well, not forcing. Friends: atheists, Jewish, Hindu—their business. Grow up, real world.
Kids born into this: ketosis at birth, switched out. Cartoon characters push bad food. Holidays/birthdays reward with bad food. Keto failed: hardest work, moderated addiction, gained back. Carnivore: realized addicted to carbs. No shame—processed food companies hire for bliss point, indoctrinated from birth.
Low carb high fat: Atkins bars, cauliflower mashed potatoes derail. Make diet simple, boring—eating to live, not living to eat. Appetite under control. Don't buy junk labeled low carb/carnivore in boxes with seed oils, 700 ingredients. Strict carnivore recipes ok now. Do carnivore till healed: rid insulin resistance, inflammation, fatty liver, damaged mitochondria, visceral fat. Some don't get fat outside but fat inside—not showing damage. Genetic fluke where they
Some people have a genetic fluke where they don't get fat. Those who do get fat have a visible warning sign.
Pa Beater Bob gifted five Homestead How memberships. Butter Bob and Pa Beater are amazing. The community has many incredible supportive people with carnivore energy. Z Paul sent a $10 super chat. His video reviewing Joe Rogan and Kevin James interview led Z Paul to understand the carnivore diet two years ago.
All super chat money goes 100% towards Healing Humanity. The documentary is done; they're working on the series. Premiere May 2nd at Meat Stock, then Montello Theater, followed by theaters and venues worldwide. Free newsletter in description notifies of movie theaters and venues. No emails unless important.
Speaker wishes to attend but it's peak business season. Located in Tennessee, 3-3.5 hours from Gallenberg. Hasn't attended conferences or meetups. Invited to Low Carb Denver years ago but declined. Now might enjoy them. First carnivore meetup was incredible—people like us, weird, brave, healed, with carnivore energy. Saw Dante Farigno glowing in original video.
Question: Bob or Carrie, hubby and I on carnivore 60 days; his diabetes gone, mine not improved, eat the same. Women respond differently than men. Wife on carnivore two years; healing slower due to delivering daughter Lily and triplets—body trauma impacts liver and hormones. Women heal differently, may need tweaks men don't. Join community for insights (e.g., Coach Lisa, free ones like Dr. Kiltz's Facebook). Try switching to lion diet for a couple weeks or incorporate fasting.
Barbara from Grandma's Crochet Corner asks Bob's music genre. Likes swing music from 1940s, classic rock, country, bluegrass. Fascinated by 30s-40s old movies and music.
Grandma's Crochet Corner YouTube does daily livestreams for accountability and community, especially at night when tempted. Learned carnivore from Bill Notz. Writes music; might do a Butter Bob song. Three guys made a song for Bob years ago, played on Mitch's channel with Grandma's Crochet Corner and Rick at Charger Mopark.
Bob fan of Frank Capra (It's a Wonderful Life), old stars, John Wayne, Gary Cooper movies, Turner Classic Movies. Hosts small town movie theater in basement now. Would love Bob in Wisconsin—old movies, history, posters. Wife Jen planning silent Buster Keaton movie event (played 100+ years ago) with live piano. Another event with 1880s theater vibe: four-string quartet, candles.
Old movies inspiring, uplifting, celebrated common people. Now common people mocked. Elite overlook them—they fix houses, pick up trash. Hope for comeback. People sick of message-heavy junk; want funny movies, love stories. Tipping point coming; Oscar movies unwatched. Documentary focuses on people and healing, not diet. Yearning for healing stories.
Everything ties to insulin resistance and inflammation. Fixes type 2 diabetes, cancer, fertility issues. Interviewed nine doctors (heart surgeon, brain surgeon, Harvard psychiatrist, diabetes doctor)—all say fix insulin resistance. Not complicated; thought defective, needing pills.
Movie streamable online. Goal: reach millions in theaters, streaming at home, services, then YouTube/website. Must follow theatrical release pattern to maximize reach; can't dump on YouTube first. Viewings in Tennessee possible via Dr. Barry (hosts Cholesterol Code screening).
Host model like Cholesterol Code: threshold of ticket sales required (e.g., Dr. Barry in Tennessee). Filmed worldwide; meetups in Chicago, Arizona, etc.—ask locals to host if threshold met.
No nuts, peanut butter, vegetables. Strict carnivore: water mostly. Cut coffee except after noonday meal. Takes magnesium, potassium every other day. Everything better since two-meat diet. Stay away from nuts, peanut butter if serious. 30-90 days super strict: no junk, artificial sweeteners, Coke, low-carb powders. Strict easier—get over sugar addiction, forget to eat. Listen to body: if good energy/sleep, continue; if low energy/brain fog, tweak. Avoid nuts/cheese—easy to overeat. Eat to fullness, no counting. Natural protein/fat ratios in steak, bacon, ribeye, hamburger. Ancestors ate without calculating.
Unexpected benefit: freedom—no grocery lists, sides, spices. Saw friend stressing list; now just grab meat. Dropped famous chili recipe (low carb high fat) to eliminate trouble.
Love Mitch—truthful like Dante. Grandfather had major stroke, paralyzed; Mitch's recovery incredible, independent, healthy. Should be front page news.
Burnt out, thought more progress should have been made. Content creation, answering questions, Facebook page with 50-60,000 views exhausting.
Creating content is very tiring and time-consuming. Much time goes into making a living, and if that time were invested elsewhere, greater success might have been achieved. Amy has a YouTube channel, and a one-on-one is planned right after Easter. Critics took a toll, and being too thin-skinned allowed them to affect despite many supportive people. Prioritize supporters. Mitch's approach: remove disruptive commenters immediately. Now, snarky comments result in instant removal, improving life significantly. Twelve years ago, as Butter Bob preaching butter makes pants fall off, faced heavy ridicule with few others discussing it.
Website had articles on topics now famous from doctors like Barry and Chaffee, written 12 years ago from hardcore research. Discussed all mammals living on high-fat nutrition long before online. Lacked traction then, dismissed as dumb redneck from Tennessee, but was right. Now backed by credentialed doctors. Industries push cereal to kill children. Dr. Fong predates, but many others align.
Website crashed, thought content lost, but files saved as a pack rat. May restore some, but maintaining requires constant updates against viruses. Not necessary now with superior doctors and scientists providing credible info. Focus on coaching and motivating people.
Get science from doctors, inspiration from Bob or YouTube channels. Doctors great, but relatable individuals needed initially due to distrust from past medications and wrong paths. Discovered Dr. Barry via Dante Farigno, then trusted. Dr. Barry incredible, lives in same state, learned about him upon return.
YouTube is tough with hate comments. Responded to accusations of money-making: 11 years, thousands of videos, earns less than minimum wage if calculated. Labor of love, could make more flipping burgers at McDonald's. Not in it for money, but products or memberships labeled grifting. Why work for free or below minimum wage? Entitlement to free content, yet criticize more. No force involved; voluntary memberships, people stop if disappointed. Grifters obvious, not providing value.
Little nuance in proper human diet. Science and ancestors show universal high-fat, animal protein diets, consistent across studies like Weston Price. Seasonal carbs supplemented, but agriculture hurt species despite building society. Simple rules: ancestors ate meat, drank water, fasted.
Not just meat; prioritize fat over chicken/fish. For healing schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, cancer: deep therapeutic ketosis via fat/protein ratios, exercise, sleep dials. Strict for advanced autoimmune, psoriasis: lion diet, avoid spice/pepper.
Spice historical luxury, traded internationally, expensive even pre-Roman; common people rarely used. Vast human history low spice. Carnivore adapts taste to appreciate plain beef, steak; no rubs or steak sauce. Slow cooker beef stew/chuck roast plain now incredible. Salt sufficient.
Cooking with beef tallow better than dairy butter due to higher smoke point, avoids smoking kitchen. Preference: tallow for searing steak, butter for eggs.
Best aloe vera question deferred to electrolytes. Hard to find clean ones without junk. Uses Amazon straight magnesium powder, potassium powder; occasional salt tablet outdoors. Expensive clean brands. Make own to save, like LMNT recipe. Needed initially on carnivore, now rarely; body signals via cramps/headaches. Balances with right eating. Deer lick salt naturally.
Jesus ate honey, honeycomb, milk, bread, fish, wine. Fermented bread. Food not poisoned then, no insulin resistance; few fat mentions in Bible. Ancient wheat (einkorn?) not modern glyphosate-sprayed. Fish, milk fine if not fat; wine okay in moderation. Modern sickness requires extremes.
Fruit now bred as sugar balls, unlike 70 years ago or biblical times; chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, glyphosate. Apples coated with seed oils for longevity. Seasonal only historically, not year-round like Sam's Club grapes. Body stores fat from frequent fruit hits, mimicking winter prep; insulin stays high.
People unaware sun path at home for plant advice, fully divorced from world. Local: woods, wild berries couple weeks/year; no other carbs. Grocery fruit chemical-laden sugar balls vs. wild.
Open invite for future talks. Subscribe to Bob's channel for inspiration, passion, common sense. Plans: in-depth video on protein experiment with Todd Botanist, others for hard science. Amazed by results: helps older people, fatigue, appetite control so good may undereat initially. Not for beginners or extended fasting early; heal first. Joined membership for expert access; gift is simplifying info understandably.
Coach Lisa Tuesdays, doctors Wednesdays (e.g., Dr. Ovedia). Post questions if needed. Newbies: eat to fullness first weeks, no counting/macros; big change. Fatty meat satisfies, risks undereating.
Apology for botched link to Carrie's channel; deleted mistakenly, Boomer error. Good turnout, 400+ viewers, love in comments.
Expresses love for what Carrie is doing and thanks her profusely. Thanks all the people who came to watch—around 400 viewers live—and those who will watch replays later. Appreciates everyone for listening. Thanks for all the questions, super chats, and for being the amazing carnivore community. Really appreciates it. Wishes Bob a good night. Says goodbye to everyone and sees them on the next one.
