    Anyone try this? My boss said it's working great for him. Essentially tells him how many carbs he can eat in a day based on his breath.

    The first device to hack your metabolism
    Enhance fat burn, lose weight & boost energy naturally

    Lumen gives users a tailored daily recommended diet based on its analysis of their breath.

    What once took over an hour to measure, and a team of nutritionists and scientists to analyze, can now be done in less than three minutes.

    Lumen creates a personalized meal plan for the day, taking any dietary restrictions into account, to help you reach your health goals.

    This smart gadget helps you Hack Your Metabolism and lose weight.


    It starts with a breath
    Lumen is the world’s first hand-held, portable device to accurately measure metabolism. Once available only to top athletes, in hospitals and clinics, metabolic testing is now available to everyone.

    The science isn’t new, but the technology is.
    Lumen uses a CO2 sensor and flow meter to determine the CO2 concentration in a single breath. This indicates the type of fuel your body is using to produce energy.

    The Gold standard of personal metabolism tracking
    Lumen is scientifically proven to meet the gold standard of metabolism measurement (RER) in multiple validation studies.

    Track your
    metabolism daily

    See how your metabolism is affected by your sleep, physical activity, and nutrition.

    Customize your nutrition
    Get daily personalized meal plans. Know exactly what to eat and when.

    Workout optimization
    See if you have enough energy before a workout or if you need to fuel up. Breathe afterwards to see the impact on your body.

    Monitor and improve your metabolic health
    Lumen tracks your metabolism, sleep, nutrition, and fitness data to provide a Lumen Flex Score, which reflects your success and helps sustain results.

    Being able to maintain your weight effortlessly is pretty cool…it’s effortless because of a flexible metabolism

    What's really great about Lumen is that all it requires of you is to breathe and it gives you information that traditionally would take a lot of time and effort to receive.

    One of the things that I really love about Lumen is that everyday Lumen tells me how to adjust my nutrition plan based on my body’s actual needs.

    What's really great about Lumen is that all it requires of you is to breathe and it gives you information that traditionally would take a lot of time and effort to receive.

    Take control of your metabolism
    Many of the factors that impact your metabolism are within your control and can be changed to improve your body’s metabolic flexibility, which is your metabolism’s ability to efficiently switch between using carbs or fats as a source of energy.

    Each morning, you’ll breathe into Lumen to see the source of your body’s energy: fats or carbs.
    Based on this metabolic data, Lumen will provide a daily personalized nutrition plan, as well as other actionable insights on your sleep, workouts, and meal timing. Lumen tracks your sleep, nutrition and exercise in order to provide you with a score that reflects how healthy your metabolism is.

    Lumen trains your metabolism to use the food you eat more efficiently.
    When your metabolism is more flexible, you are better able to burn fat instead of carbs, leading to weight loss. By focusing on metabolism instead of restrictive or unsustainable diets, Lumen helps you lose weight and keep it off for good with daily feedback.

    Apparently it tells you how many carbs you can eat a day based on your ketone content and specified diet.

    Maybe it's just me, that seems too little for the price but I think I'm not informed enough. Thank you.

    I bought this (because I work in this industry). Unfortunately, it was sent from Israel to Germany and got stuck in customs, and I could never be bothered to pick it up.

    I don't think it measures ketones. It measures CO2 content in your breath, and based on that it tells you if you're burning fat or carbs.

    My guess is that you would need to be committed for it to work, and if you are already that committed to losing weight, you were likely going to lose it with or without.

    On that note it’s certainly something you use when you’ve already done the low hanging fruit like cut complex carbs, sugars, etc.
