hey guys welcome back to my channel hope you all are well and hope you all are doing great.<\/p>\n
um today i’m going to review the lumen<\/a> products but first off if this is your first time checking out my channel.<\/p>\n hi welcome my name is azima and i’m a mom of two sharing videos centered around motherhood lifestyle fashion reviews hauls and so much more. so yeah if that is the kind of content you love watching do stick around and i’m sure you’ll find something that you love.<\/p>\n so yeah i’m going to jump right into the review of the lumen<\/a> device.<\/p>\n so i had this exciting um package sent to me from lumen<\/a> and i thought i should give them a review.<\/p>\n and so yeah basically lumen<\/a> is a metabolic measurement device and it comes in this very cute black box just like this. and it also has a few information on the back that just you know tells you about what is inside the box .<\/p>\n so in the box you will have your lumen<\/a> device your charging dock your travel case a usb c cable and a user guide the product is compatible with ios and android devices this is my lumen<\/a> device.<\/p>\n and it’s so handy i love the travel case<\/p>\n that it comes with<\/p>\n because i can just talk my lumen<\/a> in here<\/p>\n and take it out and about with me and<\/p>\n this is the lumen<\/a> device<\/p>\n itself so all i need to do is<\/p>\n to pair this product with by phone<\/p>\n and um yeah this is the app of the<\/p>\n the lumen<\/a> app so all i did was to<\/p>\n download the app<\/p>\n and then sync your device with the app<\/p>\n and that is what i did and um yeah i<\/p>\n always use this every day<\/p>\n and so basically what you do with this<\/p>\n device is that you will breathe into it<\/p>\n and it will kind of analyze your<\/p>\n metabolism<\/p>\n to tell you more about what you are<\/p>\n burning<\/p>\n if you’re burning fat or if you’re<\/p>\n burning carbs<\/p>\n so your ideal thing to burn in the<\/p>\n morning is fats<\/p>\n so my first week was really good because<\/p>\n in my first week i was burning a lot of<\/p>\n fat<\/p>\n i was getting more of level 1 and 2 on<\/p>\n my commitment<\/p>\n for that first week so yeah this<\/p>\n is kind of how it looks like i’m not<\/p>\n sure if you guys can see it very well<\/p>\n but um this is for this week so this<\/p>\n week alone<\/p>\n on monday i was on level three tuesday<\/p>\n level four that means i was burning more<\/p>\n of caps<\/p>\n on wednesday i was on level three<\/p>\n thursday<\/p>\n um i was level three as well friday<\/p>\n level four<\/p>\n but saturday i was on level two so on<\/p>\n saturday was a really good day for me<\/p>\n because<\/p>\n i was burning you know less i was<\/p>\n burning fats and dropped carbs yeah and<\/p>\n what happened to me on saturday was<\/p>\n because i didn’t eat<\/p>\n dinner so i didn’t eat dinner on friday<\/p>\n nights<\/p>\n and um i had my breakfast you know in<\/p>\n the morning<\/p>\n around 10 11 so it recorded<\/p>\n that i was burning more of fats so i<\/p>\n think the less you eat<\/p>\n the more fats you burn and um the more<\/p>\n you eat<\/p>\n the more carbs you burn so that is how<\/p>\n i’ve been able to analyze my metabolism<\/p>\n that way<\/p>\n um so this device would really be good<\/p>\n for people that are like<\/p>\n fitness enthusiasts or<\/p>\n people who are very active you know<\/p>\n fitness wise<\/p>\n they’re the ones that would really<\/p>\n benefit from this product<\/p>\n but as a mom of two i’m trying to lose<\/p>\n some weight<\/p>\n and i’m trying to watch my diet and all<\/p>\n of that and i have been able to find<\/p>\n this device helpful to me so for example<\/p>\n today i’ve been recommended to eat<\/p>\n 60 grams of carbs 55 grams of<\/p>\n fat and 1 10 grams of protein<\/p>\n so i’m on a low carb day<\/p>\n so i need to get enough protein and it<\/p>\n helps<\/p>\n preserve my muscle mass that is what<\/p>\n they have said<\/p>\n on there so why did i get this<\/p>\n this um plant today you are burning fat<\/p>\n for energy that’s what it says i’m just<\/p>\n going to read why it gave me this<\/p>\n recommendation<\/p>\n so it says you are burning fat for<\/p>\n energy<\/p>\n the recommended carb servings in your<\/p>\n daily plan<\/p>\n will allow you to remain in a fat<\/p>\n burning state<\/p>\n your workout today doesn’t require<\/p>\n additional caps so if i need to work out<\/p>\n right now i can just go ahead and do my<\/p>\n workouts<\/p>\n because i do not need to eat like<\/p>\n anything before i work out<\/p>\n yeah so this kind of helps you again if<\/p>\n you’re someone who<\/p>\n you know always goes to the gym in the<\/p>\n morning<\/p>\n um it will kind of tell you if you need<\/p>\n to eat before you go to the gym<\/p>\n or if you’re okay to just you know go on<\/p>\n and burn some fat<\/p>\n in the gym whatever i know so yeah it<\/p>\n helps you do that<\/p>\n um it gives you your commitment<\/p>\n goals for the week you know it shows<\/p>\n your commitment goal<\/p>\n um another thing that is really super<\/p>\n helpful is that it has this kind of<\/p>\n meal inspiration meal ideas<\/p>\n where it just shows you the kind of<\/p>\n foods that are going to be required<\/p>\n for you to eat like it’s if you if you<\/p>\n have a low carb day<\/p>\n it will tell you like how many servings<\/p>\n of you know maybe rice or something that<\/p>\n you need to eat for that day<\/p>\n it will give you like an idea of the<\/p>\n kind of portions you should have<\/p>\n maybe you should have more of salmon on<\/p>\n the plate<\/p>\n with mixed veggies and just a little bit<\/p>\n of potatoes<\/p>\n or like a little bit of carbs it kind of<\/p>\n gives you<\/p>\n an idea of how your your meal should<\/p>\n look like<\/p>\n and um this is just like an example<\/p>\n don’t worry i’ll show you guys<\/p>\n a closer picture of this so this is just<\/p>\n like<\/p>\n an example of you know how the meals<\/p>\n look like and how the portion sizes are<\/p>\n it will tell you your breakfast lunch<\/p>\n snack dinner options you can have any<\/p>\n meal<\/p>\n that you want based on the inspiration<\/p>\n on here<\/p>\n so it tells you more of like your<\/p>\n nutrition it tells you what a carb<\/p>\n serving is<\/p>\n it breaks down what carbohydrates are<\/p>\n what vegetables are<\/p>\n proteins fats how to meal prep<\/p>\n diets drinks

flex score yet<\/p>\n because it’s not yet a month<\/p>\n of using this so when it is a month of<\/p>\n using this i will have my lumen<\/a> flex<\/p>\n score<\/p>\n which then hacks my whole metabolism<\/p>\n and you know i would have a more clearer<\/p>\n picture of<\/p>\n my kind of metabolism so yeah<\/p>\n then the benefits of high flex score um<\/p>\n breathing before your workout

doing my<\/p>\n exercise i will breathe again into this<\/p>\n device and it will<\/p>\n record it as well so yeah<\/p>\n so here it tells me about my insights it<\/p>\n tells me how to train my metabolism to<\/p>\n burn<\/p>\n fat how my body chooses what fuel to use<\/p>\n either the carbs or the fats equation<\/p>\n my metabolic flexibility when my body<\/p>\n can use carbs

many hours<\/p>\n to sleep for<\/p>\n and how to sleep my way to a healthier<\/p>\n metabolism<\/p>\n so on here you can also practice<\/p>\n breathing as well<\/p>\n and you can learn how to breathe um i<\/p>\n found it i found it difficult to<\/p>\n breathe in the first week of using<\/p>\n device i was always<\/p>\n feeling all my breath you know<\/p>\n measurements because it was so difficult<\/p>\n for me<\/p>\n but i kind of have a hang of it right<\/p>\n now which i will show you guys how i do<\/p>\n it<\/p>\n um basically all you need to do first<\/p>\n off is to tilt your head backwards and<\/p>\n you know breathe in like this<\/p>\n that is what i found to be the solution<\/p>\n to my<\/p>\n my my own you know measurements if i do<\/p>\n like this<\/p>\n i would do it perfectly but if i do like<\/p>\n this i’ll do like this<\/p>\n as it i wouldn’t have the right breath<\/p>\n measurement i don’t know why but it<\/p>\n doesn’t work out for me that way<\/p>\n but anytime i tilt my head up and tilt<\/p>\n the device like this i always get it<\/p>\n right so i think maybe my<\/p>\n my throat or something opens up when i<\/p>\n tilt my head up i’m not sure<\/p>\n but that is what i have found to work<\/p>\n for me um<\/p>\n you also have your weight measurement on<\/p>\n there your bmi<\/p>\n so i’ve selected the healthy weight loss<\/p>\n tracking<\/p>\n and um it says my daily calories should<\/p>\n be 1<\/p>\n 104 and after a<\/p>\n 500 calorie deficits okay so<\/p>\n my lumen<\/a> flex score hasn’t been unlocked<\/p>\n yet because i’m on week two<\/p>\n so i need two more weeks to go for me to<\/p>\n get my lumen<\/a> flex score<\/p>\n so now it also shows you like all of<\/p>\n your lumen<\/a> scores for<\/p>\n for each week um so yeah this is my<\/p>\n current week so after<\/p>\n um tomorrow tomorrow is sunday so after<\/p>\n tomorrow i’ll be in my final week to get<\/p>\n my flex score<\/p>\n and again i’m excited about that so i’m<\/p>\n going to show you guys how i breathe<\/p>\n into my device<\/p>\n and there’s this kind of breath um sign<\/p>\n on top i’ll turn my device on from this<\/p>\n little button right here<\/p>\n and um it will pair with my phone<\/p>\n and that is what it is doing now so yeah<\/p>\n it says<\/p>\n let’s go take three normal breaths<\/p>\n through your nose<\/p>\n then inhale deeply through your lumen<\/a><\/p>\n hold your breath<\/p>\n exhale in three two one<\/p>\n so it says that i have passed that first<\/p>\n breath<\/p>\n and i need to take a second one because<\/p>\n it will do this<\/p>\n three times okay okay<\/p>\n i’m not sure if you guys can see very<\/p>\n well<\/p>\n take three normal breaths through your<\/p>\n nose then<\/p>\n inhale deeply through your lumen<\/a><\/p>\n hold your breath<\/p>\n exhale in three two one<\/p>\n yeah i got it right the second time<\/p>\n so i need one more breath to complete<\/p>\n you know the analysis so yeah<\/p>\n i’m now a pro at breathing into this<\/p>\n thing at first i couldn’t really do it i<\/p>\n was like<\/p>\n i was bringing too fast or too slow<\/p>\n or too short so but now i now have a<\/p>\n hurry<\/p>\n normal breaths through your nose then<\/p>\n inhale deeply through your lumen<\/a><\/p>\n [Music]<\/p>\n hold your breath<\/p>\n exhale in three two one<\/p>\n yeah it got right and it’s going to<\/p>\n you know analyze it all for me so that<\/p>\n is what it is saying<\/p>\n so it is saying that i’m on level three<\/p>\n and level three means<\/p>\n i’m burning both fats and carbs<\/p>\n and that is what it means so i’m burning<\/p>\n between 42 to 63 percent<\/p>\n fat so yeah i’m on level three now<\/p>\n so right now i can do my workouts maybe<\/p>\n i could go for a walk for about<\/p>\n 15 minutes and then relax<\/p>\n a bit and then take my measurements<\/p>\n again<\/p>\n just to close that whole you know<\/p>\n metabolism hacking you know breath<\/p>\n test so yeah yeah i also have to mention<\/p>\n the calibration day so calibration day<\/p>\n was<\/p>\n the next day after my first breath with<\/p>\n the lumen<\/a><\/p>\n so the calibration day kind of<\/p>\n calibrated my whole<\/p>\n day and you know analyzed all of my<\/p>\n breaths<\/p>\n and just you know gave me like you know<\/p>\n my food portions and all of that<\/p>\n all of that jazz yeah i did the<\/p>\n calibration day<\/p>\n and so it kind of brought me to this<\/p>\n phase where i am now where<\/p>\n each time i breathe it just tells me my<\/p>\n you know my nutrition basics and you<\/p>\n know all of that so each week<\/p>\n when you complete a week it will ask you<\/p>\n for your weight<\/p>\n just so that you can track your weight<\/p>\n to know if you are losing weight or not<\/p>\n um i had to go and buy a weight<\/p>\n measurement<\/p>\n because um yeah i needed it for my lumen<\/a><\/p>\n to work with my lumen<\/a><\/p>\n um yeah so i would you know use that<\/p>\n weight measurement<\/p>\n to weigh myself and indicate the<\/p>\n measurement on my lumen<\/a><\/p>\n so yeah well i do i um like the product<\/p>\n i feel like the product is good if you<\/p>\n are really curious<\/p>\n about tracking or if you’re really<\/p>\n curious about<\/p>\n hacking your metabolism um it kind of<\/p>\n shows you<\/p>\n if you’re burning fats or if you’re<\/p>\n burning carbs<\/p>\n and it kind of you know tells you the<\/p>\n kind of food portions<\/p>\n that you can eat more of and um it kind<\/p>\n of analyzes<\/p>\n the healthy things that you need to eat<\/p>\n so if you want to eat healthy<\/p>\n if you want to lose weight um this is a<\/p>\n good device for you<\/p>\n because it also measures your breath<\/p>\n before a workout and that’s why it work<\/p>\n out so yeah<\/p>\n it’s kind of on the days where on the<\/p>\n days where you feel<\/p>\n weak you feel tired um it’s because of<\/p>\n your metabolism<\/p>\n yeah so whenever you feel weak and tired<\/p>\n you know it kind of tells you maybe<\/p>\n you’re eating some<\/p>\n kind of carbs that you know can weigh<\/p>\n you down<\/p>\n and stuff like that so you might need to<\/p>\n eat a more healthier diet<\/p>\n you know just to maintain your health<\/p>\n your metabolism<\/p>\n and of course because of the food that<\/p>\n we eat it reflects in our health<\/p>\n and it kind of it could boost your<\/p>\n energy or it could reduce your energy<\/p>\n so yeah that’s why it’s good to have a<\/p>\n device like this<\/p>\n that kind of breaks it all down to you<\/p>\n and keeps you<\/p>\n educated on you know your metabolism<\/p>\n so will i buy this product um<\/p>\n it comes at a hefty price so yeah this<\/p>\n is a sponsored product so it comes at a<\/p>\n hefty price<\/p>\n um but will i buy it i don’t think i<\/p>\n would buy this product<\/p>\n because of the hefty price but if it was<\/p>\n something cheaper<\/p>\n at a more realistic and ideal price<\/p>\n i would buy it and because all i just<\/p>\n feel like it’s quite<\/p>\n expensive for what it does because this<\/p>\n is something that<\/p>\n you could just go on youtube to check<\/p>\n out your food portions<\/p>\n like this kettle diet that could help<\/p>\n you lose weight so you could just go on<\/p>\n the kettle diet<\/p>\n and save yourself from buying the lumen<\/a><\/p>\n so i feel like<\/p>\n
