I clearly don’t get it…
You “baseline” for the first 14 days with a goal to get to a score of 4.0, but there is practically no information available to you about the score. I took two tests one day within 5 mins of each other, my score varied by more than 1.0. I am supposed to eat restricted carbs/green foods, but there is no place to log foods. The suggested food options within the app are very limited. The final straw though was the device itself, it only worked the first time once requiring me to use multiple pods each day. Today I gave up after 4 attempts…I don’t even really understand what is being “baselined” and I read all the material available.

Pros and Cons: See Below
So my employer was offering 6 months free to try Invoy. At first, I was very intrigued by this new way to achieve weight loss and a healthier lifestyle. The idea is reducing your carbs so your body will burn more fat cells than carbs when it needs energy. In the first 14 days you are asked to reduce your carb intake to less than 20g a day. You can eat as much fatty foods or exceptionally low carb ones you just need to keep it near 20g for 14 days. Below I’ll highlight the pros and cons I found from this system
Pros:
1. Teaches you what foods are low in carbs and high in good fats to eat
2. If you can maintain less than 20g of carbs during the 14 days you’ll learn how awesome it is to not have insulin highs and lows brought on by carbs
3. Guaranteed to lose weight during the 14 day period as carbs become secondary to burning fat cells
Cons:
1. Sensor can be finicky to get it to start analyzing your breath results. I wasted several breath test due to it not analyzing my results properly even after following their steps verbatim
2. Coaches are in California and if you live on the East Coast, you’ll only get a response or two a day so they aren’t really coaching you in real time
3. Fat burning scale seems to be heavily influenced by how hard you blow. The harder I blew, the higher my score was. This was especially concerning after having 2 days of lots of carbs and then proceeding to blow the highest fat burning score I had up to that point of a 6.9. As a point of reference, you aim for around 4.0 and no, I had not done any extensive exercising the previous two days.
Conclusion:
I think the concept is intriguing and I do feel overall much better and have lost weight during my 14 day low carb diet as a result of the information they provided; however, I do not believe the sensor is very accurate and the coaching (or lack of) does not justify a price tag of $40 a month. I also find the reviews on here suspicious considering one of the “5 Star” reviews was written by a staff member.

Knowledge is power
I feel Invoy gives me real-time insights that help me make better decisions in the day ahead based on what my breath test score and reflected behaviors reveal from the last 24 hours. I feel like I have agency and control over my metabolism! Kudos Invoy!
Long term behavior change
I’ve been using invoy for almost 3 years. I’ve used it during weight loss and maintenance. The coaching is exceptional, the customer support works on weekends if you need something and the breath data is invaluable to my morning routine. Thank you, Invoy!
Happier and healthier
I am so impressed with Invoy and their system. For once, I am actually losing weight! My personal coach is wonderful and our communication is so easy, the app is super user friendly. I use Invoy first thing in the morning so an easy, robust app is necessary for me when I am just waking up. I have tried so many programs and finally, I have found the one that works for me. It is truly improving my life. I am feeling good! Thank you Invoy.

Love this app
It’s really one of the only good ways to track daily progress accurately. I feel supported and motivated. Thanks Invoy!
Really helps guide my weight loss
While it takes a day or two getting used to, I’ve come accustomed to start my day with the breath test. Their coaches are super helpful on guiding me to the best options. I finally feel in control.
The app seems very well done, but just one thing.
Limiting weight input to 400 lbs is not good enough for some of us. This should be increased.
So much kindness!
I had such a hard time getting started on a program, but the team stuck with me and gave me options. I love you! And thanks for 20 pounds gone!
