Frequently Asked Questions — Feel Great System

The Protocol

What is the Feel Great System?

The Feel Great System is a structured metabolic health protocol developed by Unicity International. It combines two food supplements — Unimate (a concentrated yerba mate extract) and Unicity Balance (a Biosphere Fiber supplement) — with a 16:8 intermittent fasting schedule. The protocol is designed as a simple daily routine of two products and a 16:8 eating window, with no calorie counting or food restrictions.

How do I follow the 16:8 protocol with the Feel Great System?

The daily protocol is: (1) Begin your fasting window the evening before. (2) First thing in the morning, drink one sachet of Unimate mixed in 250–500 ml of cold water. This suppresses hunger and provides clean energy during the fasting hours. (3) About 10–15 minutes before your first meal (noon or whenever you break your fast), drink one sachet of Unicity Balance in 250 ml of water. (4) Eat normally within your 8-hour eating window — no food restrictions. (5) Before your last meal of the day, take a second Balance sachet 10–15 minutes before eating. That's it. No calorie counting, no food elimination lists.

Do I have to fast for exactly 16 hours?

The 16:8 pattern (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating) is the standard recommendation, but flexibility is built in. Many clients start with a 14:10 window and gradually extend to 16:8 as their body adapts. The key principle is consistency in your eating window start time — irregular fasting schedules produce slower results. If 16:8 feels too restrictive initially, 14:10 is a legitimate and effective starting point.

Can I drink coffee or tea during the fasting window?

Yes. Black coffee, plain tea, and water do not meaningfully break the fast or spike insulin. Many clients use Unimate to replace their morning coffee — it provides superior and longer-lasting mental clarity with appetite suppression that coffee does not. If you prefer to keep your coffee, drink it black during the fasting window alongside or after Unimate.

Does the Feel Great System require me to change what I eat?

No food elimination or calorie restriction is required by the protocol. Many people choose to focus on whole foods and adequate protein within the eating window, but that is a personal choice. Individual experience varies, and a balanced diet is recommended alongside the routine.

Do I need to exercise to see results?

Exercise is not required and is not part of the formal protocol. Many clients, including those with limited mobility or sedentary jobs, follow the protocol without changing their exercise routine. Individual results vary. Adding regular movement, particularly resistance training, does amplify results, especially for body composition. But the system works without it.

The Products

What is Unimate and how does it work?

Unimate is a highly concentrated yerba mate extract standardised to deliver elevated levels of chlorogenic acids, theobromine, and caffeine. It is approximately equivalent to 100 cups of traditionally brewed mate in phytochemical concentration, with bitter tannins removed for palatability. Unimate is a concentrated yerba mate drink taken in the morning, and many people use it as part of their fasting-window routine. It does not spike insulin and does not break the fast.

What is Unicity Balance and how do I take it?

Unicity Balance contains the Biosphere Fiber matrix — a blend of soluble fibers (beta-glucan, guar gum, pectin, psyllium) combined with plant sterols, chromium, and policosanols. Mix one sachet with water and drink it 10–15 minutes before a meal. See the product label for full directions.

Is Unicity Balance the same as Metamucil or psyllium husk?

No. While both Unicity Balance and Metamucil contain soluble fiber, they are substantially different products. Metamucil contains primarily psyllium husk as a single fiber source. Unicity Balance contains a multi-fiber matrix (Biosphere Fiber) plus plant sterols, chromium, and policosanols. The multi-fiber matrix generates higher viscosity gels and produces broader metabolic effects.

Are the products safe? Are they listed anywhere officially?

Both Unimate and Unicity Balance are food-based products that are listed in the Prescribers' Digital Reference (PDR), the standard reference database used by licensed U.S. healthcare practitioners. They are non-habit-forming, drug-free, and safe for daily long-term use in healthy adults. They have been used globally since the early 2000s and are distributed in 50+ countries.

Can I take Balance if I'm on medication?

The soluble fiber gel in Unicity Balance can slow absorption of oral medications taken at the same time. To avoid interference, take any medications at least 2 hours before or 1 hour after taking Balance. This is especially important for thyroid medications (levothyroxine), blood thinners (warfarin), diabetes medications (metformin), and statins. Always inform your physician if you are starting Balance while on prescription medications.

Can I take the Feel Great System while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Unimate is not recommended during pregnancy due to its concentrated caffeine content (~75–100 mg per sachet). High caffeine intake is contraindicated in pregnancy. Unicity Balance (fiber supplement) is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but always consult your obstetrician before starting any supplement protocol during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Can I use the Feel Great System if I have a medical condition?

The Feel Great System is a food supplement programme, not a treatment for any medical condition, and it is not a substitute for medical care. Balance is a viscous fibre taken before meals and Unimate is a yerba mate drink; together with a 16:8 eating window they are intended to support healthy glucose metabolism as part of a balanced lifestyle. If you have a medical condition or take any medication, talk to your doctor before starting, and never start, stop or change a prescription without their guidance. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Results & Timeline

How long does it take to see results?

Experiences vary from person to person. The protocol is a daily routine rather than a quick fix, and many clients follow it for 90 days, which matches Unicity's guarantee period. Talk to your doctor before making health decisions based on lab results or your progress.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary significantly from person to person and depend on your starting point, consistency, and food choices within the eating window. Unicity does not guarantee any particular amount of weight loss, and Fadi cannot predict individual results. Talk to your doctor about your health goals before starting.

What if I don't lose weight in the first two weeks?

The first 1–2 weeks are primarily an adaptation phase. Your gut microbiome is adapting to increased fiber, your insulin sensitivity is beginning to improve, and your circadian feeding rhythm is resetting. Scale weight can fluctuate in the first weeks, so many clients track other measures too. Focus on subjective markers in weeks 1–2 (energy, hunger, sleep) and defer scale expectations to weeks 3–4.

Will results last if I stop the products?

This depends on the habits established during the protocol. Clients who use the Feel Great System to build durable 16:8 fasting habits and change their relationship with food typically maintain most of their metabolic improvements after stopping. Clients who rely solely on the products without embedding lifestyle changes tend to see partial regression. The goal of coaching is always to transfer the habit architecture so results are independent of the products over time — though many clients choose to continue Balance and Unimate long-term because they prefer how they feel.

Ordering & Cost

Can families, couples, or groups pool together to save money on the Feel Great System?

Yes. When multiple people in a household or group want to take Unicity products (like Balance and Unimate), buying them as isolated retail customers is the most expensive route. Instead, you can leverage Unicity's official 100% Free Member Program. The primary household member registers first using code BEWELL to unlock wholesale member pricing (up to 25% off) and free shipping on subscriptions. Subsequent family members or friends register for free using the primary member's referral link. Because Member accounts earn recurring Product Credits on every referred order (up to $600 USD per calendar year), the group's shared consumption flows back into the household ecosystem as an internal rebate, dramatically reducing monthly out-of-pocket costs.

How much does the Feel Great System cost?

The Feel Great System (one month's supply of Unimate + Balance) retails at approximately $159/month in the United States as a Preferred Customer, which includes an automatic subscription discount. Individual product pricing is approximately $89/month for Unimate and $79/month for Balance. International pricing varies by country — contact me directly for your country's current pricing.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Unicity offers a 90-day satisfaction guarantee on the Feel Great System. If you follow the protocol consistently for 90 days and are not satisfied with your results, you can return unused product for a full refund. Unicity's 90-day guarantee gives you time to try the protocol before deciding whether it suits you.
