Lumen - Metabolic Coach

Awesome!

After 2 days of use, and having finished calibration day: - Starting with the core setup experience, others have mentioned this as well: breathing through it gets some time to master, especially for exhaling I always seem to run out just 1 second before the ring should close, thus having to repeat inhaling and exhaling once more. - I would have loved to have an iPad version of the app, as I’m sitting mostly on an iPad and not on my phone. Even for viewing nutrition plans, progress, etc. the extra real estate, notifications, etc. would be really nice to have on an iPad. - All in all I’m excited to have this little device as part of my daily habits I’m sure the Lumen team will continue building on the overall experience and am looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Its going to take awhile to see if Lumen helps me get healthier but just knowing how foods affect my fat burning is a great start.

The beginning was hard to understand how to get into fat burn. After 2 weeks learning the correct foods to eat I saw my fat burn go to 65%. Don’t get discouraged keep trying.

I feel better and am sleeping better already - in a week! I was already somewhat fit and I exercise every day. Lumen is a great tool for accountability and balance in your diet. I am never hungry. I lost 5 pounds in a week and weight loss was not even one of my primary goals. I feel strong and more in control of my health.

I have researched the Lumen device, watched many YouTube reviews and ordered my device with excitement. When my device arrived it was very easy to create an account and watch videos demonstrating how to inhale/exhale for the device to take a measurement. Due to an injury suffered in 2016 I have limited lung capacity and have worked with a pulmonologist to increase my lung capacity and decrease my chronic cough. During set up of the lumen device, I discovered I was unable to exhale for the minimum 6 seconds required for the device to take a measurement. The customer experience representatives were supportive and provided tips to help with inhalation and exhalation. They avoided my request to return the device for refund. Only when making many more frustrating attempts (and they are able to see that attempts are made but too short) I again requested assistance to return the device. I was told their policy does not allow for returns. Until Lumen technologies makes adjustments to allow a shortened inhalation/exhalation duration to make a correct measurement I WOULD RECOMMEND future customers practice inhaling deeply for 4 seconds, hold that breath for 10 seconds and then exhale for 6-7 seconds BEFORE opening and setting up the lumen device. Learn from my costly and frustrating mistake. I cannot fully utilize the device and app because I cannot exhale long enough to complete setup for the lumen device.

Love all the data but curious how to get my fitness pal to work with the lumen app so that I don’t have reload my food / meals recipes into a new app. It also does not seem to be using my Fitbit information on my monthly cycle. Would love for these apps to talk to each other easier.

I am learning how and when my body burns fat and carbs. Only been doing this for a week and hoping it takes me to my weight loss goals by following the program. Since I have started following the menu program I have not been hungry once.

I love having a plan @ measurable goals. If it gets measured, it gets done & Lumen is the best tool I have found to aid in “hacking” my metabolism now that I’m almost 50.

Really helpful to get real time data on how your metabolism is doing and get customized macros. My body felt better the first week.
