I look at butterbean and I can totally relate. I was over 400 pounds. 3 heart surgeries and even after that they gave me two years. That was enough to scare the living hell out of me. As of this moment. 13 years later. I'm down to 170 pounds. My waist went from over 50 in before. Today. A 32.. I was able to do this all on my own. My A1C is a 5.8 been off of insulin now for over two and a half years. I went from 17 different medications down to just one baby aspirin a day. You have to believe in yourself and find that inspiration to keep you going. Fasting is the true key to success.

[@popeantichrist8847]

That is awesome man! I went from 276lbs to being stuck at 237lbs for the last couple years. I suffer from gout and that has been real bad. I was given levofloxacin just 2 pills last week and that has put me in a wheelchair. I was giving up on life until this video.

And yes once when you get rid of the water the fat is the challenge especially the fat surrounds your vital organs. And trust me fasting does not damage your internal organs it helps them actually quite a bit. And if you're not eating food your body will continue to eat and it will eat all that fat and things that it doesn't need. Trust me it's not easy but it works. Best of luck

He did. Did you see the Evolution of Butterbean photo?

I love butter bean. The dude is the every mans hero. And when he said "I'm good now" THANK YOU DDP. You are as close to an angel as we get in this world.

You've got this brother 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@medicatedforyoursafety9349]

I’m 47 too, disabled vet. 5 years into my total journey, 2 years adding exercise. 277-159, built back up to 172. I’ll give you the only rule you need to follow. Don’t quit, even if you’re not seeing results. The body is made in the kitchen! Eat right! Sugar is addictive! The government allows these additives as it lowers population and makes people dependent on big pharma! You’re worth it. NO ONE else will invest into you.

I am so blessed that I met him a week ago. He is soooo nice!!!! Such a sweetheart and joked around. We took pictures. He is such an inspiration.

[@arvurebantra7639]

I am struggling with my weight, chronic pain and depression. Watching Butterbean go from the top, to the bottom, and then bounce back like this, it's an inspiration. Thank you DDP and Butterbean for sharing this journey.

Respect to DDP amd especially Butterbean pushing through like a warrior

[@rodneybrimer5171]

I live close to Jasper. Back in the mid 90’s I went to a tough man contest with some friends. That was the first time I met Eric and watched him literally beat everyone. Years later he is in Vegas and before you know it the name Butterbean is known in many countries. I’m praying for him to find his way forward. He is a great person always polite! He is a warrior! He will 100% reach his goals moving forward! Great video.

[@exidy-yt]

I ain't gonna lie, tears are pouring down my face. I hated DDP back in the AWA and sneered when he became an actual wrestler, and then a top guy in WCW, but I absolutely love him now for what he has done for so many people. And especially for how he brought The Bean back from the edge of the grave to actually be in fighting trim again! I never would have believed it possible, and am beyond inspired. Thank you DDP and congrats Eric, you deserve this ressurection, you've sure as hell worked for it!

[@MrHavoc1001]

DDP is an amazing person. Just remember those "Characters" that they play, and not the actual person.

[@toddpeters9007]

Congratulations bean!! You done good ! DDP you done good !

[@freedomisslavery6840]

[@CeeTeeUSA]

If you hated DDP, he did his job as a heel. I like what he's done after wrestling though. I wish him the best..

[@elvisroldan1460]

This was cool

[@vettemaniac2237]

Tough to watch a man who could literally punch you out of your own skin sink to such physical and emotional lows. A wonderful transition to a new man is an inspirational watch.

[@underdogoverland]

I had never seen Butterbean in a wheelchair, I had the image of him in Jackass absolutely demolishing Johnny Knoxville, so seeing him the way he WAS was a complete shock. Blessed to see him back in fighting shape, as strong as ever. Hell yeah DDP, thanks for bringing back our hero!

[@murkwell17]

Butterbean is the epitome of the kind giant. He was one of the most intimidating men in the world at one point but he has the kindest heart and deserves this second chance with his family. It's also so cool to see everything DDP has done for all of these legends.

[@o.t.rayvaughn7961]

DDP has inspired me to NEVER give up. MUCH easier said than done. BUT, I never asked for an easy life, and I will take whatever comes, good and bad. Never underestimate what I can do, but never underestimate what others can spark in me either.

[@shawnhill68]

Love and respect from Australia. What a great story . Always liked watching butter bean in the ring .

[@chrisbjj1380]

This brought me to tears. DDP and his team are truly hero's and make this world a better place. Mr. Bean, all I can say you have always been the man, and now even more so than before. An inspiration.

[@rmcellig]

I have terminal cancer. I face serious obstacles daily. It's all about attitude and a will to live. This video is a great example of making things happen. I have done this a few times while going through my cancer obstacles. Hats off to both butterbean and DDP for making this happen.!!

[@Blowinshiddup]

This actually brought tears to my eyes. 15 years ago when I was in the Canadian Air Force tore a disc in 2 places, and spent 2 years in agony. The physio, accupuncture etc was barely working. The thing that saved me was the core conditioning class they started, which used selected yoga exercises, it brought me back to the point where I was no longer on a medical category. I still do the exercises. Keep it up DDP!

[@jj3710]

Great story. I think everyone was rooting for Butterbean.

[@mrfake675]

I'm rooting for Jake Paul to BEAT HIS ASS!!!!

[@virtualblackface3009]

I didn't use DDP yoga. But the ads inspired me back in 2018. 2 years after falling off a cliff, I was pretty broken. I was using a walking stick everywhere I went. I had back surgeries that weren't helping. Physical therapy that wasn't getting me anywhere. And the final solution from the Dr was just pain pills. I didnt want that to be my life. I was depressed. I saw ads for DDP yoga and I saw people getting their life back. So I started doing yoga on my own. I am back to 100% today. I run, I jump, I do everything I used to do and more. I can't thank you enough for inspiring me and showing me the way.

[@allanshpeley4284]

That's awesome, congratulations!

[@oldmanemptyhouse7659]

That's fantastic brother. Is there a particular KZbinr you watched ? Or did you go to a actual yoga type gym ?

[@FallouFitness_NattyEdition]

How old are you btw?

[@hankkingsley9183]

Best most affordable way is get a gym membership that offers Yoga classes with the membership, and go every day. You can jump in any Yoga class as a total beginner and flail around, instructor will give you tips, you pick things up by watching... just don't be afraid to look like you are a beginner when you are beginning

[@shanemacbike2]

I like yoga with Adrienne but theres loads. I just think shes cute lol. Shes got loads of 30 days of yoga playlists. its good, just dedicate yourself to do it every day for 30 days. Its only like 15 or 20 mins a day. I do it in the evening, feels great going to bed afterwards. @@oldmanemptyhouse7659

My wife got me the DDPY DVD set a couple years ago and I have made progress I didn’t think was possible. I’m Disabled and have had 11 spinal surgeries. Most recently 2 in 2020. The first of which did permanent nerve damage to me right leg. DDPY has given me the ability to play with my daughter again on her level. I’m still in constant pain but I can get off the floor unassisted now. Making it possible to play with her. Watching Butterbean’s transformation brought a tear to my eyes and strengthen my resolve to not give up. Thank you Sir.

Met him earlier this year. Gave me a set of Pride gloves, career advice, and even shared his pizza recipe. I was always a big fan but even more now. Helluva guy!

[@SaRkAsMuSoNe-]

What are pride gloves if I may ask?

[@TheUFCVeteran]

@@SaRkAsMuSoNe-They are the gloves used in the PRIDE Fighting Championships, which was a Mixed Martial Arts organisation in Japan. It went defunct in 2007 or so, but started in the late 90s. It’s often called the golden era of MMA for the talent, fights, and possibly the presentation (nobody does it like PRIDE/DREAM/RIZIN - all MMA companies with the same owner, only RIZIN exists now but it is doing pretty alright, I think).

[@tonyt3955555]

@@SaRkAsMuSoNe- Pride was wild, loose rules, most entertaining MMA try and look up some fights.

Good ol pride fighting promotion. They allowed headstomps when the opponent was down. Knees and elbows as well. Savage promotion but really let the best shine.@@SaRkAsMuSoNe-

Thank you DDP.

[@jesterr7133]

Starting his career in pro wrestling at nearly 40 and becoming a main eventer, DDP accomplished something that was once thought impossible. It took a lot of work and tenacity that very few people naturally have in them. It is a gift, and I am glad that DDP found a way to harness that gift and use it to unlock that same tenacity in others. He is using it for something good, and making a difference in the world. I'll be here to cheer DDP and Butterbean on. I wish them the best.
