The Lumen Metabolism Tracker is a device that claims to measure your metabolic flexibility, or how well your body can switch between burning fat and burning carbohydrates for energy.
But how well does it work and can it really help you to reach your health goals? Let’s take a look.
Lumen states it is the world’s hand-held device that measures metabolism by measuring the CO2 levels in your breath to see if your body is using fat or carbs for fuel.
Lumen’s technology has been scientifically proven to accurately measure metabolic fuel usage when compared to the gold standard (RER) for measuring metabolism in multiple validation studies.
When you blow into the device, it measures the levels of certain gases in your breath. The amount of CO2 is a good indicator of whether your body is burning fat or carbohydrates for energy.
The Lumen Metabolism Tracker is designed to help you lose weight by helping you to adjust your diet and exercise habits to match your metabolic state.
When you are in a state of fat burning, your body is more efficient at burning calories and more ideal when it comes to reducing body fat levels.
Instead of just guessing what does and doesn’t work for your unique metabolism, Lumen can actually show you what to do so you can achieve results faster.
