Ever wanted to monitor your metabolism while you were on
the go? You can now, though!
I received this incredible little Lumen device, which
monitors your metabolism quickly and accurately with only one breath. I can honestly
say that Lumen has helped me tremendously with tracking my fasting state, even
if I am only beginning my intermittent fasting adventure. You NEED to know if
and when your body is burning fat to determine the effectiveness of your
fasting. According to one study, it is indeed so effective that it has emerged
as the gold standard for calculating metabolism. But it is for everyone, not
just those who fast.
This is a milestone since prior to LUMEN , the only way to monitor your metabolism was in a hospital or clinic using the pricey and time-consuming RER (via the breath) test. You can learn a lot about how you process food from the amount of oxygen and CO2 you inhale and exhale. According to Lumen, a high CO2 level indicates that you are burning more carbohydrates, whilst a low CO2 level indicates that you are burning mostly lipids.
The convenient Lumen app made it simple to charge and set
up the breathalyzer, which resembles a little vape pen. As it asked me personal
questions about myself and what my wellness goals were, everything was quite
simple to set up. I started using LUMEN before I had consumed any food throughout the
day, and my findings confirmed what I had suspected: I was burning more fat
than carbs. I was astounded that such a tiny item could convey tremendous
knowledge! Then, one evening, I used it after consuming a large baked potato,
and it informed me that I was primarily burning carbohydrates.
This is how it goes. It does this by having you breathe
into a portable Lumen gadget to determine how much carbon dioxide is in your
body. These levels show what kind of fuel, a combination of fat and
carbohydrates your body is using to create energy. By inhaling a defined volume
of air through the Lumen device (dynamic to each individual), holding it for 10
seconds, and then fully expelling, a special breath movement is used to
determine the CO2 concentration. You will really be guided through this
procedure by the Lumen app, which will let you know when to inhale, hold, and
exhale.
Every time you breathe into it, the machine analyzes your
breath and evaluates it on a scale of 1 to 5, indicating whether your body is
getting its energy from your fat reserves (the optimal "fat burning"
condition), the carbohydrates you`ve taken, or both (a 3). It continues with a
suggested diet plan outlining roughly how many servings of carbs, fat, and
protein you should consume daily in order to boost your metabolism. Your body
should normally be at a 1 or 2 when you wake up. However, if you awaken at a 4
or 5, it may indicate that your body is having trouble trying to digest.
Because LUMEN
offers you specific recommendations on when and what to eat to fuel your
activity, based on your metabolism, it`s almost like carrying a nutritionist
around with you. Lumen helps you burn fat and increases metabolic flexibility,
which is the capacity of your body to transition between using carbohydrates
and fats as a fuel source quickly and effectively.
Here are some

Since I measure in the morning, after eating, after
working out, and before night, LUMEN has truly become a part of my daily routine. I
must admit that this is addictive in a positive way because I enjoy learning
more and more about my body and how it breaks down food. I enjoy understanding
how and what I should be eating on a daily basis, and this helps. But because
they want to give their users the flexibility to make their own decisions, it
does not exactly tell you what to eat. THAT is incredible. Instead, based on
your daily findings, it suggests whether you should consume low, medium, or
high carbs.
