My Simple 16:8 Starter Guide
Last year, a friend showed me the results he was getting with Feel Great.
I was curious, but I didn’t start right away. I wanted to understand what
he was actually doing — and whether it was something I could realistically
stick with.
Eventually, I decided to try it myself — Unimate in the morning,
Balance around my meals and a 16:8 eating schedule — and I’ve put
that starting routine into a free 7-day guide.

What Happened When I Actually Followed the Routine
I started with a 16:8 eating window and built my day around a routine
I could repeat: Unimate in the morning, Balance around my main meals
and a more structured approach to when I ate.
MY FIRST 3 MONTHS
I lost 44 lb over my first three months.
I wasn’t trying to starve myself or follow an extreme diet.
What helped me most was having a clear routine I could actually repeat: a defined eating window, a more deliberate approach to meals and Unimate and Balance as part of that daily structure.
The number on the scale mattered, of course. But what surprised me
was how quickly the routine stopped feeling like something I was “trying” and simply became what I did each day.

My first month
−11 lb

Consistency continued
This is my personal experience with the complete routine, including
changes to when and how I ate. It is not a typical-results claim or a
promise of what someone else will achieve. Individual results vary.

I put the basic structure into one short PDF — when I fasted,
what my mornings looked like, how I approached meals and where
Unimate and Balance fitted into my day.
The Starting Structure I Used
This isn’t a complicated diet plan. It’s a practical look at how I
structured the first days of my routine.

It Started With a Friend
When a friend first showed me his results with Feel Great,
I didn’t immediately decide to start.
I had questions. I wanted to know what he was actually doing every day
and whether this was another complicated program that would last a week
before normal life got in the way.
What interested me was how straightforward his routine sounded.
Built around yerba mate. I use it in the morning as part of my fasting routine.
A fiber-based supplement that I use around my main meals.
Add a defined eating window to that, and the whole approach felt
realistic enough for me to try.
So I did.
I started using Unimate in the morning, Balance around my meals
and followed a 16:8 schedule rather than eating throughout the day.
I also became much more deliberate about what and when I ate.
That’s when this stopped being my friend’s experience and became my own.
I’m sharing what I actually did and what happened for me.
