Cramps can be linked to a lack of minerals: when you sweat, you lose essential minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium). Adding a handful of salt or electrolytes to your water is an excellent way to compensate for these losses.

Eating before sport can be an interesting way of providing energy to the body. We recommend limiting carbohydrates with a high glycaemic index, which are responsible for variations in blood sugar levels and hypoglycaemia. Doing sport on an empty stomach can also be very useful to get used to using fat reserves as an energy source. After sport, it is important to eat well to recover by consuming good sources of protein (meat, fish, eggs) to repair the muscles, to eat more salt to compensate for the loss of minerals, to drink a lot and to get enough sleep.

Cravings are caused by a sudden drop in blood sugar to the point of hypoglycaemia. In case of hunger, we recommend that you eat foods that will not affect your blood sugar: a handful of oilseeds (nuts, almonds), vegetables or fruit (radishes, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, etc.), a small piece of cheese, a square of dark chocolate, there is no shortage of choice! You can also take our Holyfat oilseed bars or pouches with you everywhere: they will provide you with energy for a long time, as part of your sport practice but also in your daily life, during your working day, at breakfast, as a dessert or when you are travelling.

Eating well is essential for sport because food is the fuel of the body. But in addition to that, eating well also reduces the risk of injury and inflammation, improves recovery and therefore indirectly improves your sports performance.

The keto diet (or keto-diet, ketogenic diet, keto diet) is a way of eating that reduces carbohydrate intake to less than 25 grams per day. The aim is to induce a state of ketosis: in the absence of carbohydrates from the diet, the body uses fat as its main source of energy. Our Holyfat products are perfectly ketogenic snacks: they are low in carbohydrates, with no added sugar and rich in good fats, for a healthy and tasty snack or snack in the context of your sports practice (cycling, trail, running or triathlon) but also on a daily basis: breakfast, dessert, snack...
