![]() ![]() So I expected my initial readings with the Lumen to be halfway decent. Now I’m a reasonably in-shape 36-year-old, who is fairly active. I’ve found Lumen to do an excellent job of educating me, and not making myself (quite) as overwhelmed in the process.īut it is a lot to take in and takes a few days of using it to get comfortable with how to use it properly. Things like when to track, how many times per day to track, what you need to do to get different results etc. So Lumen needs to not just educate you on the science of switching from burning carbs to burning fat, but it also needs to educate you on the ins and outs of the device itself. There’s also a good chance you don’t know much about the science that goes into it. The chances are you’ve never used a smart device that tracks your metabolism before. This is to no fault of the Lumen itself, but rather the fact it’s essentially a completely new type of product. It connects via Bluetooth and walks you through the process for getting going which is very fast.ĭespite being easy to setup, there is a little bit of a learning curve here. Setting up the Lumen is super easy and intuitive. It’s a very nice package, but for as good as the physical design is, it doesn’t mean much if that app design and usability falter. In the box, you’ll find the Lumen device, a carrying case, a charging doc, and a USB-C cord that plugs into the dock. ![]() There’s a color-changing LED ring on the front that illustrates various modes, and the black silhouette down to small details like a metal cap – all feel a step or two above what I’d expected. Quite simply, Lumen Metabolism is a beautiful device. I was admittedly skeptical of the quality of the product and if it would actually work.īut it took mere seconds after opening the box, to make me think “oh, maybe this is the real deal after all.” I wasn’t very familiar with Lumen before receiving my device. In fact, it may be the best example of this concept I’ve ever seen. ![]() Then you’re preparing yourself for the rest of the experience to be positive as well.įortunately, Lumen falls into the latter camp. If something looks high-end, is packaged in a high-end way, and has little bonus features that you aren’t expecting? Now you’re expecting the rest of the product to be lackluster as well.īut the opposite can also be the case. If you spend $300 on a device from a company you’ve never heard of, and end up with cheap packaging that’s not well-thought-out – that experience will put you in a negative mindset. Well with a device like Lumen, which is not only a new company, but a completely new type of product to most people – the presentation is incredibly important. In nearly every product review I do, I talk about the “Presentation.” How do the packaging and design enhance or detract away from the product itself? The experience starts with the box and packaging. You’ve gotta give props to the Lumen team, the device is very well-designed. The Lumen Device First Impressions of Lumen Metabolism That’s the answer I set out to find in this review. This allows you to “hack your metabolism” to lose weight, have more energy, and actually reach your health and fitness goals. Until recently it was very difficult if not impossible for the average person to know the answer to this.īut recently I came across a new biohacking device called Lumen Metabolism that says it will tell you what fuel your body is burning. So by delaying your food intake, it theoretically helps you make it easy to burn fat and lose weight.īut any time I’ve started dabbling in intermittent fasting, which for me is just code for “skipping breakfast,” I’d always find myself wondering: am I actually in fat-burning mode? Does this really work? How do I know what type of fuel my body is actually burning? When you’re in a fasted state after sleeping, your body and metabolism in a perfect world will shift to burning fat rather than carbs. And you fast the other 16 hours of the day. The idea is you only eat during a specific window during the days to get your body to more effectively burn fat rather than carbs.įor instance, all your food intake might be between 11am and 7pm. ![]() I’ve never really adhered to a specific diet, but I’ve always been intrigued by the concept of intermittent fasting. Between keto, paleo, low carb, intermittent fasting, meal planning and dozens of others – there’s no shortage of different ways to try and lose weight. These days there are countless diet strategies out there. ![]()
