I realise my assumptions might be wrong, but:

1. If farts are mostly methane, and:
2. If methane is lighter than air

Could I lose weight by eating "windy" foods and then holding it in?

No, your density would go down but not your mass. Nice try though.

Assuming you dont want to over think it. And just want to see a lower number on the scales.

A fart under pressure maybe more dense than air.

Mainly hydrogen.

But the idea is there!

Hydrogen? Watch out for sparks else you'll vanish in a loud squeaky pop!
