The Science of Measuring Fat Burning

Fat burning can be measured through the breath, specifically by assessing the levels of breath ketones known as acetone. As the body increases its fat-burning rate during activities like carb restriction or intermittent fasting, more ketones enter the bloodstream and are exhaled through the lungs. This connection between breath and fat burning provides a practical method for individuals to monitor their fat-burning efficiency without invasive tests. Devices like the Tone device offer an accessible means to measure breath ketones, helping users gain insights into their metabolic state and adjust their fitness routines accordingly.
