Has anyone ordered Lumen? [image] Lumen Lumen is the world’s first hand-held, portable device to measure and track your metabolism. See if your body is using fats or carbs for fuel in a single breath. Looks intriguing however… I need to brush up on how well …

I looked through the summary that is linked on the website. As it was published by the company, keep that in mind, but it appeared fairly close to standard metabolic carts. Like any of these trackers (Whoop, Oura Ring, etc), you have to ask yourself what you would change and benefit by spending t…

i contacted them a wee or so and asked if it could be used during exercise to determine what ratio of fat/carbs you were burning at varying intensities. No response from them so i guess no.

Well Whoop is nothing special at all as it tracks H/R. This actually serves a purpose for me with regards to determining that I’m either training with the correct carb/fat-inclination. I found a video of Michael Andrew, some sort of swimmer, using it. Training With LUMEN - YouTube Probably sponsor…

I have also been curious as to how accurate it is, and how it could help!! I hope the TR boys test it :+1:t3::checkered_flag:

Anyone actually purchased one of these? I see that they have Chris Froome advertising it now* *not that I think he uses it in any meaningful way, he probably has a fully equipped laboratory manned by robot monkeys at his disposal.

Then why did Froome have to go hat-in-hand trying to find someone to do physiological testing a few years ago to “prove” he’s not a doper? Wasn’t the claim that he’d only been tested once before, during his Barloworld days?

Any updated experiences with the Lumen tracker? I’m looking to get one

I’m a nutritionist and heard about Lumen last year through clients. The science behind it seemed kind of vague and there were not many online reviews at that time (that weren’t put up by the company), I had to write a paper for school on a tracking device so I chose Lumen. I’ll spare the whole paper…

I used it for a bit and like @whatsername I never got into “fat burning” mode. It is worth noting that you have to be pretty diligent about tracking your types of food to get the full benefits of the device. It also does not really measure your metabolism, at least in a quantitative way. For inst…

Thanks for the feedback, you saved me $300. Next beers on me :beers:
