You make it sound obvious. But the fact that my weight =/= equal the sum weight of electrons, up quarks, and down quarks in my body blows my mind every time I think about it.
99% of your mass does 𝑵𝑶𝑻 come from the Higgs Boson!
Nearly all mass comes from the ‘binding’ energy between the quark & gluon bound states
This binding energy is due to QCD confinement, induced by the so-called quark condensate (below)pic.twitter.com/FEXH25bEgv

Well weight isn’t equal to mass in every day life! Weight is the gravitational effect on mass!

But isn't confined energy essentially matter?
-
it’s not clear what happens inside of color confined states, but the mass itself is in large part not due to the higgs vacuum expectation value.. it goes as the square root of the vev

You should start a weight, pardon, mass loss program based on QCD
-
"this pill taken twice every day will reduce the interaction of QCD confinement by 10% resulting in a quick and effective mass loss. Side effect: could drop some quarks. Structural integrity is not assured as a result of following the program"
