This YouTube transcript records Ben Greenfield demonstrating the LEVL (breath acetone meter) as a biohacking tool to measure ketosis and estimate fat burning. He shows the measurement procedure, reads an app result of 2 parts per million (ppm) acetone, explains thresholds (above 1 ppm is decent, above 3 ppm indicates strong fat burning), and converts readings into estimated fat calories and pounds (example: 275 cal/day ≈ 0.06 lb/day; maintaining level → ~0.45 lb/week). He also gives purchase info: levelnow.com and promo code "greenfield" for 25% off.
275 calories of fat per day, ~0.06 pounds of fat per day.

Top secret biohacking office tip. This is how you can find out at any given point during the day with extreme ease and no finger bleeding, whether or not you're in a fat burning state. What some of us call ketosis and what others will refer to as acetone production. So acetone in your breath directly corresponds to the level of ketosis that you're in. And even cooler than that in my opinion, because even though I'm in, ketosis is a cool phrase to throw around at a cocktail party. Especially a cocktail party with a whole bunch of orthorexics at it. A cooler thing to know about is how many friggin pounds of fat you're burning on any given day or any given week. Or how many pounds that's increased over the past week. Especially if your goal is fat loss or. Or what we call becoming a fat burning machine. And yes, for this entire video, I am going to keep my Obi Wan Kenobi hoodie on because it allows me to look more trustworthy and wise.
There, I'm wise now. Okay, so this is what's sitting on my desk. This is called a level L, E V, L level. And I'll give you the website and actually a special code I have for these folks in just a moment. But I want to show you how this works. It's super, super easy. I'll be right back.
There. I'm done. No, just kidding. So I've got this paired with my phone, which is why I'm shooting this video for you on my screenshot on my computer rather than my phone. Because I want to show you what my phone looks like after I do an actual breath measurement with this thing. So what I'm going to do is take a breath pod out and then I take a big breath and I hold that for five seconds and I. And then I exhale for like 10 seconds and I put it into the testing port so it looks like this. Check this out. Select my user. I've already got my phone connected to this thing, so I take a pod out. Okay, Ready?
Boom. Done. Okay, that goes in there and this closes. See?
It's reading, it's reading, it's reading, it's reading. I think the reading takes like 30 seconds. Okay, while that's going, I'm going to pull open my phone and it says today Your level is 2. If you maintain this level for a week, you will burn approximately 0.45 pounds of body fat. And if I go to. Got it, thanks. Then I can actually go and look at it. You can see here that's two parts per million. Two parts per million of acetone. Anything above one is decent. Anything above three shows that you're really in fat burning mode. Considering testing this in the afternoon after I've had like two meals today.
You can see my previous test that I did. I had a 4 and a 3.7. So this is a little bit lower than usual. My other tests were done like in the morning fasted when I first woke it up. However, for fat burning you can see I'm burning 275 calories of fat per day. That's about 0.06 pounds of fat per day. So I can easily approximate based on my acetone concentration of my breath, exactly how much fat I'm going to be burning and whether or not it's going up. How cool is that? So it's called the level. The level. Now here's how you can get one, you go to levelnow.com that's L E V L.
Levelnow.Com when you go to levelnow.com use code greenfield and that's gonna get you 25% off your.
Gotta make sure I look perfect for this.
