Possible progress on the weight loss experiments

I might have a new avenue to explore. Here are the things I'm doing differently that are corresponding with drops on the scale:

1) Having some of my celery leaf/roasted banana leaf beverage at the start of the day then having more of it mixed with just-sliced green cabbage an hour later.

2) Microwaving beer salt/roasted banana leaf ash 60 seconds in a mug, stirring it with a Black Hills gold earring attached to the tines of a silver fork, and putting some of the powder on just-sliced green cabbage; adding just-grated cinnamon to the same mug, microwaving it for 60 seconds more, stirring it with the same earring and fork, and putting the rest of that powder mixture on the just-sliced green cabbage; and mixing the cabbage with the powders and eating it all (do (2) about an hour after (1) above).

3) Suspending a chunk of white granite in the top of the blender when I make the smoothie that accompanies lunch and dinner (the one made with broccoli florets, raw cacao nibs, and gelatin). I attach the granite firmly to the inside top of the blender with elastic bands. (This points to some sort of catalyst in white granite.)

I'll update later when I have more than three days of data trying these three items.

[Update 10/5/2025: It's only been a few days, but I haven't been able to recreate the weight loss. The most likely source of the weight loss was the waxy coating on a Pink Lady apple. Who knows what was in that?! As pharmaceutical companies are starting to talk about releasing pill versions of their weight loss injections (for example, see https://www.sciencealert.com/ozempic-in-a-pill-clinical-trial-finds-oral-semaglutide-works-for-weight-loss), it becomes apparent that some orally-delivered weight loss molecules were already being put in some foods, and I just happened to notice they were there.]

[Update 10/21/2025: I don't appreciate what appears to be a "shell game" of trying to find where weight loss molecules are. If you're wondering, I've found them in dessert additions (chips, sprinkles), deli meat, expensive cheese, canned fish (especially sardines), expensive chocolate, and unusual creamers. Of course, not in all of those products, but selected ones do appear to contain weight loss molecules according to my records. They often cause 1-2 pound drops off of weight plateaus and sometimes are accompanied by an uptick for a day or two in hair loss. I know I'm not imagining the hair loss side effect. Who in the processed food industry thinks it's OK to play games like this with people's health?

On another note, even before weight loss molecules like Ozempic and Wegovy's active ingredients were invented, people used to be able to get slim without fancy protein shakes, blended coffees, and sardines. I'm looking at the possibility that a negative ion of lithium could be helpful. 

Lithium, like hydrogen right above it on the periodic chart, usually ionizes to lose an election and become positive. However, hydrogen can gain an extra electron and have a charge of negative one. I suspect that lithium can also gain an extra electron and have a charge of negative one. Doing this in a home kitchen would involve cooling lithium, if I understand my chemistry standard reduction potential table correctly. I have seen tantalizing hints in old cookbooks that pointed to chilling certain ingredients as possibly important for weight loss. More convincing, though, to me is the personal weight effect I used to see with a combination of four ingredients (one of which has been reformulated since, so the combination doesn't work anymore) that only worked if I did not squish one ingredient ahead of time. The crucial ingredient was a banana. If I used it freshly peeled and put the other three ingredients on the surface that had just been unpeeled, the combination was effective for weight maintenance and possibly even loss. However, if I smashed the banana before adding the other three ingredients, it did not work. To me, this points to a static electricity charge being created in the process of peeling the banana with one side, either the peel or the banana, getting more electrons as the surfaces are ripped apart and the other side ending up with fewer. (If you've ever wrestled with a skirt over tights on a dry winter's day, you have personal experience with the phenomenon.)]
