Frequently Asked Questions

At HolyFat, we've carefully selected quality ingredients to meet your needs. Our energy bars are rich in lipids, vitamins, and minerals from:

⦿MCT oil: MCT oil stimulates the production of ketones which improves cognitive functions whichpromotes the athlete's concentration. MCT powder also helps in reducing body weight and reducing waist circumference, which helps in managing blood sugar or blood glucose levels.
⦿ Fromcocoa butter: Very rich in vitamins and mineral salts in particular, cocoa butter helps to maintain the acid-base balance in the muscles, rthus reducing the occurrence of crampsand at the same time promoting recovery. It also contains omega 9, which is very good for the cardiovascular system, as well as vitamins A, B and C.
⦿ Somealmonds: Rich in lipids, omega 9, fibers, proteins and mineral salts, almondspromotes oxygen transportto the muscles, making it the ideal ingredient for longer and more intense physical activity.
⦿ Cocoa powder: Cocoa is rich in flavonoids, powerful antioxidants that promote cardiovascular health, and nitrates, which dilate blood vessels,improve blood circulation and reduce oxygen consumption, allowing athletes to run longer. It is also rich in minerals such as potassium and magnesium.
⦿ From thecoconut: Rich in fiber and minerals such as magnesium and potassium, coconut will help torelease your energy reserves to fullits energy while bringing you a feeling of fulfillment.
⦿ From theraspberryFreeze-dried: Raspberry stimulates intestinal transit and thus facilitates digestion. Raspberries aregood sources of manganese, vitamins (mainly vitamin C and E), and mineral elements (particularly iron to facilitate the transport of oxygen). The raspberry also brings this slight acidic touch.
⦿ Salt, for maximized sodium intake
⦿ Freeze-dried lemon (new): Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which makes it a powerful antioxidant.

The Holyfat energy bar is not organic. We choose local, high-quality ingredients, even if they are not organic.
At Holyfat, we try to regularly offer you new products and new flavors.

An energy bar is a solid dietary food that allows you toprovide calories during exerciseto prevent our body from having to draw on reserves. This caloric intake can (and must) be supplemented by other active ingredients such as proteins, vitamins (vitamin C, group B) and minerals (magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc.).
Holyfat energy bars are high in calories because they are rich in lipids (almonds, MCT oil). Thanks to these ingredients, they give you a boost, especially during high-intensity or prolonged activity, and are ideal for compensating for your energy losses. These energy bars are intended for athletes, whether amateur or professional. Theysupport athletes during their physical efforts in order to improve their performanceThey have several advantages in the context of sport, provided you choose them well and consume them correctly.
However, one should not confuse an energy bar, which is intended for sport, with a cereal bar, which is more often used for recreational purposes or as an appetite suppressant.

By definition, theprotein barsarerich in protein. They are more suitable for arecovery roleafter exercise and are intended to help muscles grow. This is why they serve as a post-workout snack. Of course, they won't replace daily meals, but they can help satisfy a midday craving.

Conversely,the energy bar(or energy bar) is primarily intended for athletes looking for suitable supplements, whether they are runners or bodybuilders. It is generally high in kilojoules. The energy bar is therefore generallyrich in either carbohydrates or lipids. Their protein content is quite average. This bar was designed for athletes and sportsmen who need to dorefueling before and during physical exertionThese are the energy sources that allow them to fuel their muscles before and during each performance. These two types of energy bars have different objectives. Indeed:

Therehigh-carb energy barwill be preferred for ashort-term physical activityduration or for intense effort at a given time, since it provides the body with a source of energy to use instantly. It should therefore not be consumed in large quantities or at any time at the risk of ending up with a high glycemic index.
Theresugar-free or even salty energy barfor its part, focuses on lipids which are major constituents of membranes and the nervous system. They are the source of hormones and other important molecules. They contribute to the intake of fat-soluble vitamins and provide theessential fatty acids for longer and more intense physical activity. The fat-rich energy bar is, of course, an important energy reserve. It replaces carbohydrate intake when it is lacking through the process of ketosis. By using glycerol from fats (triglycerides), the body manages to break down amino acids to produce glucose. This operation is called gluconeogenesis. The body then manages to maintain its glycogen level at half its optimal value, without inducing any risk of muscle loss, on the contrary: in ketosis, the mitochondria are adapted to burn ketone bodies and fatty acids as a priority to provide energy, preserving proteins and sugar reserves. The sugar-free energy bar can be consumed before exercise as well as during and after exercise. It can also serve as an appetite suppressant in case of a small hunger. These energy bars are often composed of oilseeds such as almonds, walnuts and macadamia nuts to ensure a significant intake of lipids.

Lipids perform six essential functions in the body:

  • Build up a large reserve of concentrated energy.
  • Protect the organs.
  • Provide thermal protection for the body.
  • Transport fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K).
  • Provide essential fatty acids that play a vital role in the production of certain hormones (including testosterone), the structure of all cells, etc.
  • Accentuate the taste and texture of food and promote the feeling of satiety.
  • Enjoy an unbeatable weight/calorie ratio and get maximum calories in an eco-friendly format!

To properly consume an energy bar, it's important to distinguish between sports with significant and minor shock waves. For example, cycling generates less shock to the body. Consuming an energy bar can therefore be simple: it's less "traumatic" for the digestive system.
All athletes can consume energy bars. Cyclists prefer them for their intestinal benefits. Indeed, this type of snack is not traumatic for the digestive system while riding a bike.

For sports like running, trail running, marathons, and other similar sports, which generate much greater shocks on the body, the bar should be consumed in small, well-chewed pieces. Otherwise, the stomach will have to make a greater effort to digest the bar, which is generally not recommended for physical activities. A slight slowdown can also help prevent side stitches. In addition, for endurance or ultra-trails, solid intake is recommended for taste, energy, and even psychological reasons.

Before and during physical activity, it's best to eat a sugar-free or even salty energy bar. This will provide immediately available energy that can be used by our bodies and prevent cravings. After exercising, we recommend eating a full meal. However, if you don't have time, you can eat a high-fat diet bar to provide the energy you need until your next meal. At the same time, a sugar-free protein bar can help speed recovery and strengthen your muscles.

A Holyfat energy bar contains 230kcal. It's recommended to consume one 1 hour before your physical activity and then every 2-2.5 hours of exercise to provide you with the energy you need for your physical activity and avoid hunger pangs.

Are you looking for an energy bar for cycling, trail running, or running? Whatever energy bar you choose for your sport, it's important to consume it at the right time and frequency depending on the type of sport you're doing. While diet helps build glycogen stores, physical activity will deplete some or all of these energy reserves. It's therefore essential to maintain them while exerting effort and replenish them during the recovery phase. An energy bar helps meet these needs by supporting each athlete to help them improve their performance and achieve their goals. To avoid the famous "munchies," it's recommended to have a regular energy intake during exercise. A high-fat energy bar can be consumed in small portions, before, during, and after exercise.

The brutal salty energy range has been designed to meet the needs of athletes, whether before or during exercise or for recovery. Easy to carry, Holyfat energy bars contain 230kCal, allowing you to support yourself during long-term exercise. No need to carry many different products for your workout; thanks to our unbeatable weight-to-calorie ratio, enjoy an eco-friendly format to save space and reduce packaging while gaining energy.

The advantage of a carbohydrate-free energy bar? It's much easier to digest!
No more nausea from energy gels and bars. Unlike carbohydrates, lipids are not absorbed in the stomach but in the intestine. Energy intake is stable and long-lasting. There are good and bad lipids. An insufficient intake of good vegetable oils is detrimental to health and hinders progress during intense exercise. It's not the quantity of lipids in our diet that matters, but their quality.
At Holyfat, we take care of choosing the right fats for you, with our quality ingredients!

In trail running, it's often said that nutrition is like shoes: once you find the right pair, you never change them. With Holyfat, you might have finally found the right shoe for you.

All our products are vegan and gluten-free.

A sugar-free protein bar is an energy bar that contains a significant amount of protein and is normally free of added sugars.

The benefits of a sugar-free protein bar may depend on the specific composition of the bar, but here are some potential benefits:

Promotes Muscle Recovery: Protein bars are rich in protein, which is essential for muscle recovery after exercise. Protein helps repair muscle tissue damaged during training, which can help improve muscle strength and function.
Controls appetite: Sugar-free protein bars can help control appetite due to their protein content. Protein can help increase satiety, which can help you feel fuller longer and avoid cravings.
Convenience: Sugar-free protein bars can be a convenient option for people who need a quick and easy snack or meal on the go. They are often easily portable and can be eaten at any time of day. They are usually fruit-based.
Performance Enhancement: Sugar-free protein bars can help improve performance by increasing muscle strength and endurance, reducing muscle fatigue, and improving recovery.
It's important to note that the benefits of sugar-free protein bars can vary depending on the brand, composition (vitamins/minerals), and how they are consumed. It's also important to consume them as part of a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle.

All our bars are gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan. Our energy bars are not organic, but the ingredients are sourced locally.

Fueling up with energy and staying power for the long haul is what you expect when you consume an energy bar during your workout. However, between protein bars, cereal bars, and chocolate bars, you're often disappointed by the actual effectiveness of these workout companions.

The cause: added sugars and a generally high glycemic index. You must

know that carbohydrates are only effective in the context of explosive or short physical efforts. For long-term sports activities such as trail running, cycling

or the marathon, the sugar-free, high-fat energy bar is your best

ally.

1. It is a sustainable source of energy:

Lipids, and especially vegetable fats, represent a more abundant source of energy.

slow and sustainable than carbohydrates which are quickly converted into energy and quickly used up.

Conversely, lipids are metabolized more slowly by the body so they create

a constant and prolonged supply of energy which helps to avoid exhaustion.

2. You benefit from greater energy reserves

The human body stores much more fat than carbohydrates in the form of

glycogen . While stored carbohydrate reserves are depleted after about 90

minutes of intense exercise, fat stores are much larger so

that they provide extra energy once carbohydrates run out.

By getting used to using fat as fuel, you improve your ability to

exploit these reserves over long distances.

3. Energy bars suitable for endurance sports

For athletes who engage in prolonged efforts (hiking, running,

bike...), the best energy bar will be the one that is rich in lipids to prevent this

famous “slump”, the moment when glycogen reserves are exhausted.

Our energy bars reduce your dependence on fast carbohydrates and promote

more efficient use of your body fat, allowing you to be able to

count on stable performance for hours.

4. Fewer energy spikes and drops

Unlike carbohydrates, which often cause an energy spike followed by a crash

fatigue, the lipids contained in Holyfat energy bars provide energy

more stable, avoid cravings and therefore drops in performance.

5. For the many other benefits of lipids

Contrary to popular belief, lipids are essential for athletic health in

protecting the organs and ensuring the thermal regulation of the body. They transport the

fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), provide essential fatty acids for

hormone production and cell structure. In addition, they improve the taste of food,

promote satiety and offer an unbeatable weight-to-energy ratio in a bar weighing only 50 grams.

It is essential that your sports nutrition can support your performance and health but also give you real taste pleasure.

With a high content of quality vegetable fats and a very low sugar intake, the

Holyfat energy bar is perfect for maintaining constant energy levels, promoting muscle recovery and supporting your cardiovascular system.

Unlike traditional high-protein bars and sugary bars, Holyfat energy bars don't just nourish your body, they're also a delicious experience thanks to their composition from natural ingredients including:

MCT oil : This vegetable oil is rich in essential fatty acids C8 and C10

which stimulate the production of ketones and easily cross the mitochondria which

are the energy generators of cells. It also helps to stabilize the

blood sugar with better energy management and concentration for athletes.

Cocoa butter : Rich in vitamins and minerals, it maintains the acid-

basic muscle, which can reduce cramps and promote recovery for cyclists, long-distance runners, trail runners, hikers, etc.

Almonds : This oilseed ingredient provides omega 9, fiber and a

source of protein that improves oxygen transport to muscles and prolongs athletic performance.

Cocoa powder : Rich in flavonoids and minerals, it improves the

blood circulation, reduces oxygen consumption and allows athletes to

extend their effort.

Coconut : A natural source of fiber, magnesium and potassium, it

replenishes energy reserves and creates a feeling of satiety faster

and more sustainable.

Raspberry : It provides vitamins C and E, as well as antioxidants, which

aid digestion and strengthen the immune system.

Peanut : Rich in protein, fiber and unsaturated fatty acids, peanuts

supports muscle recovery by providing a constant energy supply.

Our energy bars give athletes a real boost, but you

You can also count on them to awaken your taste buds. Their perfect marriage between a

melting texture and the crunchiness of almond or peanut slivers, enhanced by a

subtle touch of Guérande salt, makes it an irresistible salty snack.

Holyfat invites you to break away from your sugary routine by opting for the original flavors of our energy bars: cocoa-peanut, coconut-cocoa, and raspberry-cocoa.

Our energy bars help support your physical efforts while taking care of

of your digestion.

Before exercise , a salty, fat-rich snack prepares the body by providing immediate energy and avoiding cravings.

During exercise , especially for activities like cycling or running, they provide continuous energy. Cyclists, for example, appreciate these bars for their light, gluten-free and lactose-free nature, which does not harm the digestive system. For higher-impact sports, such as trail running or marathon running, it is best to consume the bar in small, well-chewed pieces to aid digestion.

After exercise, if you don't have time for a full meal, a bar

high-fat energy ensures your nutritional needs until your next

meal.

Holyfat Energy Bar is not just an energy partner for athletes,

It's also a real treat. With carefully selected ingredients, it not only provides energy but also a moment of delicious and healthy pleasure.
