Intermittent fasting, without the hunger.

Two drinks a day. Unimate in the morning to silence cravings, Balance before your biggest meal to blunt the blood-sugar spike.

The 16:8 Blueprint

Two products, three moments in your day. Here is exactly how it works and why.

07:00

Start with Unimate

Mix one stick with water and drink it instead of breakfast. Appetite drops within about 15 minutes — clinically measured versus placebo. You won't feel hungry until noon. It won't break your fast.

12:00

Balance before your biggest meal

Mix one Balance stick with 8–10 oz of cold water and drink it 15 minutes before eating. The fiber forms a gel that slows carb absorption — continuous glucose monitors show a noticeably flatter curve for the two hours that follow.

18:00

Optional: a second Balance before dinner

On the Balance+ protocol, a second packet before your evening meal keeps you full into the night — so the overnight fast begins without cravings and ends comfortably the next morning.

Why willpower alone never works

High Insulin

When insulin is high, your body can't reach its fat stores — no matter how little you eat. That's why willpower-only fasting fails for most people.

Blood-Sugar Crashes

Every carb spike is followed by a crash that triggers real, biological hunger — not a failure of discipline.

What Unimate + Balance Do

They lower the insulin response and smooth the glucose curve — so you stay comfortable in your fasting window without fighting your own biology.

Why It Fails Without The System

In a 60-day clinical study, adults following the Feel Great protocol saw measurable improvements in blood lipids, triglycerides, and HbA1c — alongside real reductions in body weight and waist circumference.

Most people who try fasting quit not because of lack of discipline, but because the biology is working against them. Unimate and Balance address that directly — giving your body the tools to make fasting feel easy.

A note from the founder
Lorraine Dennis, founder
Lorraine Dennis · Founder

It gave my life back.

Years ago I was diagnosed with SCAD, a spontaneous tear in a coronary artery. I was young and fit. Recovery wasn’t a question of willpower. It was a question of whether I could rebuild a daily life that my body could actually sustain.

Most plans assume infinite discipline. The Feel Great System gave me a ritual instead of a rulebook: a morning cup, a pre-meal drink, a window of eating. Quiet, repeatable, hard to mess up.

Family started doing it with me. Then close friends. Their numbers moved. None of us became different people, we just stopped fighting our own bodies every afternoon. That’s why I share this. Not as a product. As the lifestyle that gave me mine back.

Clinical Evidence

Backed by 50+ studies.

Unicity has conducted more than 50 clinical and scientific studies globally. These are the peer-reviewed results most relevant to the Feel Great System, Unimate, and Balance.

Feel Great study

12% reduction in glycemic variability

Real-time glucose monitoring showed the Feel Great System reduced blood sugar fluctuations by 12% within a short period — associated with better outcomes for oxidative stress, inflammation, and cardiovascular health.

Feel Great study

Cardiometabolic improvements in 60 days

A 60-day study found significant improvements in blood lipids, triglycerides, and HbA1c, plus decreases in body weight and waist circumference among adults following the Feel Great protocol.

Unimate study

Appetite suppressed within 15 minutes

Unimate significantly reduced the desire to eat within 15 minutes versus placebo in fasted participants — an effect attributed to caffeine, chlorogenic acid, theobromine, and mate saponins.

Balance study

Lower post-meal glucose response

Continuous glucose monitoring showed lower peak glucose and lower overall two-hour post-meal response when Balance was consumed 15 minutes before a high-carbohydrate meal.

Common Questions

What people ask first.

Will Unimate break my fast?

+

No. Unimate is formulated to support time-based eating without breaking your fast. Its concentrated yerba maté extract delivers the bioactive compounds (chlorogenic acids, theobromine, mate saponins) that suppress appetite and sharpen focus during the fasting window.

How does the Feel Great System support natural GLP-1?

+

Both Unimate and Balance promote your body's natural production of GLP-1 — the hormone that signals satiety and helps regulate blood sugar. Unlike prescription GLP-1 agonists, the Feel Great System works with your existing biology rather than replacing it.

How soon will I notice results?

+

Some effects are measurable within minutes: in clinical studies, Unimate suppressed the desire to eat within 15 minutes versus placebo, and Balance lowered post-meal glucose response when taken 15 minutes before eating. Broader metabolic improvements — blood lipids, triglycerides, HbA1c, body weight, waist circumference — were observed in a 60-day Feel Great study. Individual results vary.

How do I use Balance?

+

Mix one stick pack with 8–10 oz of cold water and drink it 15 minutes before your largest meal. The fiber matrix forms a gel in your digestive tract that slows the absorption of carbohydrates and fats. On the standard Feel Great System, take Balance once daily. On Feel Great Balance+, take Balance twice daily before your two largest meals.

What's the difference between the Feel Great System and Feel Great Balance+?

+

Both are 30-day supplies sized for the protocol. The standard Feel Great System contains 2 boxes of Unimate and 1 box of Balance — energy-forward, with Unimate twice daily. Feel Great Balance+ contains 1 box of Unimate and 2 boxes of Balance — fiber-forward and lower in caffeine, designed for caffeine-sensitive customers or anyone prioritizing blood sugar and digestive health.

What flavors are available?

+

Unimate comes in Natural Lemon, Raspberry Pomegranate, Apple Spice, Lemon Ginger, Fierce, Decaf Lemon, and Decaf Mint Chocolate Brownie. Balance comes in Mixed Berry and Natural Orange.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

+

Yes. Unimate is backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee. Balance, the Feel Great System, and Feel Great Balance+ are all backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Is Unicity a legitimate company?

+

Yes. Unicity International was founded in 1903 and has been conducting nutrition science for over 120 years. The company operates in more than 50 countries, has published 50+ peer-reviewed clinical studies, and manufactures its products under strict quality controls. The Feel Great System is one of its flagship product lines.

How is this different from Ozempic or GLP-1 drugs?

+

Prescription GLP-1 drugs (like semaglutide/Ozempic) replace your body's GLP-1 signal with a synthetic one — which is why stopping them often reverses results. Unimate and Balance promote your body's natural GLP-1 production. There are no injections, no prescriptions, and no withdrawal effects. They work with your biology rather than overriding it.

Can I take this with my medications?

+

Unimate and Balance are dietary supplements, not drugs. That said, if you take prescription medications — particularly for blood sugar or cholesterol — we recommend talking to your doctor before starting. Balance in particular can affect the rate at which nutrients and medications are absorbed, and your doctor may want to monitor your levels.

How does the 90-day money-back guarantee work?

+

If you're unsatisfied for any reason, contact Unicity (or your distributor) within 90 days of purchase. You'll receive a full refund — no need to return unused product. The guarantee is designed to let you complete a full 60-day protocol and still have time to evaluate results before the window closes.

What if I only fast 12 hours, not 16?

+

The system still works. The Feel Great System is designed around a 16:8 window, but the underlying mechanisms — appetite suppression from Unimate and glucose management from Balance — are beneficial regardless of how long your fasting window is. A 12:12 or 14:10 schedule is a reasonable starting point; many people naturally extend their window once cravings are no longer a factor.
