Is Lumen correct? I can’t say for sure but, sadly, it probably is correct as I suspect I eat too many carbs at the wrong times of day! Now I have the support I need to make changes and achieve my weight loss & athletic goals. As a generalisation, Lumen reports that I am sometimes burning more carbs than I would have thought. I have completed extensive endurance training for many years (UK Ironman) and so I should be mostly fat-adapted. I stopped late-night eating and introduced slightly longer fasting periods which together made a material difference and I lost 1kg quickly. I tried to lose a stubborn 2kg half-heartedly for a while Lumen helped me prove what worked. Both are good and give you easy access to your carb & fat-burning state and the Apple app also logs carbs. Lumen has an app for Garmin watches and another for the Apple Watch.
You see exactly what is happening with your body and the food you consume.Ī lot of thought and effort has gone into the friendly-looking smartphone app and it is also good at guiding you towards a flexible, keto-style diet. You might have previously counted your consumption of carbs and calories or you might have looked at your fitness watch to see estimates of fat/carb/calorie usage based on effort levels but you’ve neverhad any idea about your body’s true ability to burn fat at any given time of the day. This is important, new information to all of us. It then takes 2 weeks for Lumen to understand your metabolic flexibility which is your ability to switch quickly between different fat/carb-burning states. Lumen gives immediate feedback on your fat-burning state (metabolic state) and, after 4 days of readings, Lumen mostly knows your breath signature and how it varies through key events in your day. It takes a minute to complete both of those and ‘tag’ the result in the app.

The Lumen ‘breath analyser’ is simple to use and for each rested, check-in breath you will usually need one reading plus a verification reading. How well you burn fat is critical to helping you lose weight more quickly and critical to becoming a good endurance athlete. I hope to learn from all of you and share other experiences as well.Lumen measures your FAT and CARB burn. I wanted to share this because I was looking around for a place that had info on lumen and other products and didn't really find much. Basically in 30 seconds you have results that I have found reliable from my experiences and use. The device I've found that is easiest to use and gets the job done is Keyto. It's concept as stated is a great idea but their execution in creating a product that is easy to use and providing valuable information for customers is terrible.Īnything I would recommend that's similar? I like simple and straight to the point with reliable data and that's easy to use. I'm personally doing IM fasting and keto and the app is just like you should be eating these macronutrient levels. The food recommendations have no context to them. It's just a color coded number 1-5 and they make some recommendations on what food to eat that day. The results you receive back aren't very helpful as well. There is an unreasonable amount of time and frustration that goes into using this device. You have to take 3 breath readings to get a result back. Sometimes to just get a breath reading, I would spend between 5 and 10 minutes from start to finish. It's one of the most annoying things I've ever seen built into an app. When you get the device to work, if you hold the breath for just too long or take too much of a deep breath, the app forces you to restart everything again with a time delay built into it. The mobile app is not very intuitive and there were several connection issues over different periods of time in getting the device to work. That's about where the positives stop for me. The device itself is physically built really well. I've seen as I've gotten older my metabolism definitely isn't what it used to be and was looking for every bit of data I could find to help with understanding how certain foods and drinks affect my body and so forth without having to prick my finger each time with a glucose meter. I've tried a variety of different devices that are out there. I was very interested in the concept of trying to understand my metabolism better and was looking for data to do this.
I wanted to share my experiences with the Lumen metabolism tracking device.
