so today i am here to give you guys an
update on lumen and where i am far as
losing weight and using my lumen and how
it’s helping me
get to where we want to be so we’re
gonna go through some measurements today
i’m gonna talk a little bit more about
my experience with lumet and then i’m
gonna give you guys
my final thoughts on it and you guys
can let me know in the comments what you
think um you guys have been great
leaving comments and asking questions
and all of that good stuff so thank you
so much for
you know going on this journey with me
and um
you know asking questions and giving me
your insight as well so thank you so
much because
i am just your everyday consumer and i
wanted to give you guys some insight
into
how a real everyday average jane
uses a lumen right so let’s talk a
little bit about measurements and when i
talk about measurements with you guys
i actually physically do each one of my
measurements
and i you know track it i wanted to show
you what i use so this
little calibration tool is what i use
to do my measurements so it really is a
tape measure but
you can hook it and adjust it so like if
i was measuring arms
i could easily adjust it and do the
measurement and see
exactly where i am for arms so i wanted
to show you what i use
to do my measurements um so let’s get
into it let’s get into the actual
measurement details right so i am going
to show you
the measurements of where i was may 2nd
when i started using my lumen it was may
2nd so i’m going to show you where i was
may 2nd
and then where i am today 3 months later
august 3rd
and then i’ll also show you um the
overall
results of my journey so far i actually
started
uh really focusing on losing weight
again april
20th so i will show you the overall
results as well so as you’re looking at
this graphic
everything in the blue is the
measurements of may
2nd to august 3rd when i started using
the lumen everything in the green is the
total loss
from when i started my journey overall
april 20th
so looking at lumen measurements and
what i lost while using my lumen
i lost three inches in my hip i lost 1.5
inches in my left side i lost two inches
in my right thigh
i lost a half an inch in my left calf i
have an inch in my right calf
my neck i lost an inch my chest i lost
1.5
inches my left bicep i lost the inch my
right bicep i lost two inches
my forearm i actually gained 0.3
um in my left forearm which was
different but
i’ve been working out and stuff and who
knows what that one’s about but
um i gained i lost 0.5 in
my right forearm and i lost 1.5 inches
in my waist um so from a total fat loss
perspective i lost
8.6 pounds in the three months that i
was using my lumen
and a total of that was um
9.9 pounds of fat loss so
once again and i explained it in my
other process progress video
you can always be fooled by the scale
because your scale is measuring
fat and lean muscle so if you’re working
out and you’re gaining muscle
you don’t look like you’re losing as
much overall weight so that’s why
measurements
is super important to know that you’re
still losing even if the weight doesn’t
change
and i am fortunate that i use the fitbit
aria 2 scale
and with that scale it actually breaks
out the difference of my weight in
actual
fat as well so i’m able to see how much
of it was actually fat loss
and i lost 9.9 pounds of actual fat
um so total inches loss was negative
14.7 so i lost 14.7
inches total across my body in the three
months of me using lumen
um so yeah 14 inches smaller across my
body i can’t complain about that
um and then if we look at just a overall
journey so april 20th is when i started
um to today august 3rd i am
i lost three inches in my hips two
inches total in my left eye
2.5 inches in my right side uh half an
inch in my left calf
i didn’t lose anything in my right cast
uh
compared to the beginning um
i lost an inch in my neck i lost 1.5
inches in my chest
2.2 inches on my left bicep 2 inches on
my right at bicep
i gained 0.3 inches on my left forearm
lost 0.5 on my right forearm and then my
waist i lost
5.5 inches total on my waist
and then from a weight standpoint i lost
a total of 17.2 pounds
and then fat i lost 14.6 pounds
and a total inch decrease of 20.4 inches
of my um entire body
all right so let’s get down to the nitty
gritty of which you guys came here for
and what you come to vida
reviews for you come for real and
authentic opinions and reviews and
my personal experience with the product
right so
i’m torn on my lumen i’m not going to
tell any tales because
i really like the concept of
a nutritionist in your pocket being able
to blow into the device
and knowing you know what your
metabolism is doing are you burning fat
are you burning carbs
you know do i need to work out a little
harder today or
you know can i enjoy carbs today and
maybe
a couple of days from now it’s better to
have a lower carb day so i think
having the nutritionist in your pocket
is amazing
and i 100 enjoy it i’ve used my lumen
almost every day except for the few days
that we’ve traveled
or you know anything like that that was
really the only time i didn’t use my
lumen um but
i can also say that you can lose weight
without it
you don’t need to have this device to
lose weight this is not
you know a magic pill that you get it
you blowing it and magically you’re
going to lose weight i still worked out
i still counted calories
i still counted the amount of carbs i
was eating each and every day lumen gave
me the recommendation on whether
i could have higher carb days or lower
carb days but i still had to do the work
so all in all i lost weight right i lost
17.2
total pounds i lost 14.6 total pounds
from my start of my journey and
it’s weight loss so that’s a win
do i necessarily have to have the lumen
to do it no i think you can still make
very good choices on food
and uh activity levels in order
to lose weight so in a nutshell
i think it’s an amazing device i think
if you
don’t have a hundred percent grasp on
nutrition
i do think it could help you get there
now once again
this isn’t the magic fix there really
isn’t a magic
fix um blowing in this isn’t gonna make
you lose weight you have to still put
forth the work
you still have to plan your meals you
still have to be knowledgeable
about the amount of carbs and calories
and everything else that you’re eating
so
i am not going to sit here and try and
say that this device is going to make
you lose weight just by getting it
absolutely not but i do think if you
don’t have an amazing grasp
on nutrition and you know how many carbs
or how much fat or how much protein or
even your calorie intake for a day and
creating a calorie deficit
then maybe it is a good investment for
you
um for the device so i know price wise
a couple people have pointed out that i
never talked about price so the device
is 349 dollars so that’s another thing
it’s not a cheap investment at all but
a nutritionist in your pocket could be
worth it so it’s 349
they have been running for a long time
since i bought it
a promotion where you can get it for
2.99 so i actually paid
myself my money 299 dollars for the
device
and i don’t regret it um but at the same
time
i don’t think it’s 100
necessary to have to sum it all up if
you have control of nutrition and you
have a great understanding of your
calories
and your macros and
all of that you might not need a lumen
now if you’re
in the beginning stages of losing weight
and you really have no
idea where to start if you should eat
carbs or if you shouldn’t need carbs
it could help guide you but once again
it’s not the one stop fix all it’s not
gonna
change anything if you’re not willing to
put the work in if you’re not willing to
work out if you’re not willing
to follow the recommendations if you’re
not willing to track your food intake
um it’s not gonna make a difference and
it will be
a 299 dollar investment wasted
realistically so that’s my really
authentic review
when it comes to buying i would say it’s
really dependent
on you is dependent on what you need in
the type of support you need in your
journey because you can
100 lose weight without using
