Hey everyone, GYM BOD is 50% off this week at all Coles Supermarkets in Australia, this is our biggest sale price.

I work for GYM BOD in Banyo, QLD so i thought i would share this offer and tell you a bit about the business!

About GYM BOD
GYM BOD is a low calorie, low sugar and high protein dessert that was made as a better option to your normal everyday ice cream. BOD stands for better option dessert.

GYM BOD started in a garage in 2018 in Toowoomba, Queensland by a young couple when they had the idea to make high protein, low calorie soft serve out of a truck for gym-goers! One thing led to another and it's now available in a tub at Coles! Cian & Courtney still own and run the business here in Banyo. All of the manufacturing is done in-house and the Owners still work out of the factory helping do all the everyday tasks!

I'm telling you all this because from the surface when you see our product on the shelves you probably assume its a massive company but in reality we're just a small aussie business!!

    @BenGYMBOD do you have a factory outlet for Brisvegans?

    • AssociatedBenGYMBOD @ GYM BOD on 28/02/2024 - 16:10

      Unfortunately we don't have a factory outlet. Jam Donut is currently our only plant based option on the market. We do however love going to gyms and businesses so people can try our product! If there is ever an event that attracts the BrisVegans then we would love to attend. DM us on Instagram for best response times!

    Can some gym rat tell me honestly if this is a healthier alternative to regular ice cream or is it just as bad as chocolate chobani mix?

          Big thumbs up on the no-sugar Chobani. It's not overly sweet, only very mildly. They add lactase, which breaks down the lactose into simpler, better-tasting sugars. It's the same reason why lactose-free milk is sweeter than regular milk.

          The vanilla one is good. I didn't really like the berry one though. There's a mango one too that I haven't tried yet.

    • jv on 28/02/2024 - 13:38

      Less carbs… More protein…

    • muwu on 28/02/2024 - 14:41

      The macros look better as an alternative to full cream ice-cream with refined sugars.

      This has (per 100g) about 3g of sugar instead of >20g, about 5g of saturated fat instead of >10g, and about 7g protein instead of about 3g.

      But that's about as far as you can go in defining this as healthier. The micronutrient value is very poor (it's ice-cream!). It has a longer ingredient list, including more processed derivatives and use of artificial sweeteners. The average consumer will eat a higher portion of this cf. other ice-creams. Protein content is still low, at least at the recommended portion and the advised frequency of consumption (a treat <once/week).

      This will be similar (arguably worse) than other ice-cream. If you have the discipline to have this as a treat, I say pick the one you enjoy as your treat. What is marginally better or worse is a misdirected consideration.

    • thesmartone1125 on 28/02/2024 - 15:50

      Let me tell you something, get the normal chobani, non flavoured tub when it’s on sale. Take a scoop of whey and mix it in, throw in some frozen mixed berries if you like, you’re welcome.

      But also, alternatives like this to normal ice creams aren’t that bad either, if it helps you stick to your goals who tf cares, just eat it. If your goal is weight loss, weight gain whatever it is, sometimes if it fits your macros then go for it. The more you restrict certain food groups the larger the cravings get imo at least.

      For weight loss or weight gain it’s cals in cals out, you could lose a shit ton of weight eating burgers everyday or gain a shit ton of weight eating oats and protein shakes too. Again it’s better to eat wholesome fresh food, but this isn’t going to do you much or if any harm either.

    • knk on 28/02/2024 - 23:01

      This would be useful for someone in a heavy caloric deficit, with high protein targets who wanted to satisfy a craving for icecream.

      You can just as easily get some icecream that is low sugar and measure out a similar amount (in regards to kilojoules/calories, not weight) and chances are it'll come to the same or near enough to that quantity. Realistically, you don't care about the protein target so you may as well eat something that tastes better and doesn't cost a fortune.

      I like the peters no sugar added stuff, Macros aren't as good but it satisfies a craving and if I need more protein I'll just drink a shake. Not expensive either by comparison to the other "healthy" options.

  • terrence123 on 28/02/2024 - 13:27

    Grabbed Cookies & Cream. For a low sugar, low cal, high protein treat it's actually quite good. Tub is slightly bigger than your palm and packed to the lid. Very reasonable at half price.

    b) made my stomach rumble

    honest feedback, and not a premium experience commensurate with the price

    maybe use Stevia as i use that daily in everything, no side effects

    • nicksinternet on 28/02/2024 - 22:27

      Agreed and +1 for Stevia.

      There must be a reason many maufactuers go for the dodgy sugar alcohols over Stevia. Maybe a cost thing or they need the sugar alcohol substitutes as a filler.

      • jjjaar on 28/02/2024 - 23:35

        There must be a reason many maufactuers go for the dodgy sugar alcohols over Stevia.

        I personally can taste stevia in everything and can’t stand the flavour. I know I’m a minority in this, but it might be that whoever is agreeing on the final ingredients have opted against stevia for the same reasons.

        That being said, the target market for something like this is probably a market that eats other products with stevia in it, so wouldn’t have a problem if it were in this too.

        • nicksinternet on 29/02/2024 - 19:52

          I think it is because stevia provides no volume, which for many products is needed.

  • backupper1 on 28/02/2024 - 16:30
    +1

    from ingredients page:
    It has many *tols i.e. artificial chemical sweeteners.
    and maltodextrin that has 3X glycemic index than sugar i.e. instant blood sugar spike.
    even the actual white sugar is far better than these two.

    • Boscom123 on 28/02/2024 - 19:29
      +5

      Lots of keyboard chemists here in the comments section….
      Seeing how maltodextrin is listed basically at the end of the ingredients list (after salt!) I’d imagine the amount of maltodextrin actually contained is very little (eg. mg, 1000x fold less than sugar). So I don’t think your concern about the blood sugar spike is that relevant.

    • nicksinternet on 28/02/2024 - 22:33
      +3

      The *tols are not artificial chemical sweteners (such as aspartame, saccharine, and sucralose).

      They are instead sugar alcohols which are a modified sugar (they mess around with the molecules to make them).

      Sugar alcohols (the *tols - sorbitol, xylitol, and maltodextrin etc) play havoc on the intestinal tract, feeding bacteria in the bowel and creating bloating, gas, farting, craps, diahorrea.

      Stevia is neither. Is from a natrual plant, and has no negative effect on the body. For some reason manufacturers mostly go for the artificial sweeteners or the sugar alcohols.

      • nicksinternet on 29/02/2024 - 07:17

    • knk on 28/02/2024 - 23:08

      I did not know this, and I don't think it's being an annoying vegan to point out something obviously isn't vegan if it's labelled as such.

      I'm vegetarian and it really grinds my gears when I order something vegetarian and it's far from it. I don't expect to be catered for, I'm the one with a different diet to most - but I expect staff to know whether a particular dish is / isn't vegetarian.

      Fair enough overseas it's an absolute nightmare to communicate this, but I'll cop that language and cultural barrier as it's perfectly reasonable. Shouldn't be an issue locally.

    • firestint on 05/03/2024 - 10:51

      thanks for pointing this out. I bought one tub to try and support OP but being a vegetarian this will probably be my last time too unless OP decides to change the ingredients.

    technically not ice cream..

    From Gym BOD FAQ

    There is a very technical definition of Ice Cream. In order for a product to be an Ice Cream it must have 100 g/kg of milk fat; and 168 g/L of food solids. GYM BOD Ice Crem doesn't meet these parameters, so we therefore cannot call our product Ice Cream, as that would be misleading to consumers. We do not want to mislead any one! Our technical product classification is "Frozen Dessert". We think Ice Crem is a playful way of alluding to what GYM BOD is striving to emulate. *

    Would love it if it wasn't for the dodgy sugar alcohols that upset the gut.

    I personally get bloating and farting on these (many protein bars also have them). If you notice this when you have protein bars or ice cream, it's probably why.

    NFI why companies like this don't just use Stevia. It does not have this affect and is a natural sweetener. I'd be all over it if it did.

    • TightTerry on 28/02/2024 - 22:53

        Yeah, I had a tub and can confirm that the gas produced the next day was extreme. I won't be buying it again.

    • Pantagonist on 29/02/2024 - 07:18

      I've read that some people find that stevia has a bitter aftertaste so some companies avoid it for that reason.

      • nicksinternet on 29/02/2024 - 07:24
        +1

        Ironically it's most effective taste wise in cold products. Also it's most effective when used with sugar (i.e. reduce the sugar by 75% and add a bit of stevia - virtually the same taste).

        I use stevia a lot and search for it in low calorie products, think it tastes great so long as not overdone.

        The chemical sweeteners taste the worst to me, aspartame, sucralsoe, and saccaharine. The sugar alcholos are really bad for the gut (I think it's used more so because they need the volume that sugar provides, stevia doesn't have volume).

        So I go for real sugar items (that hopefully don't use much - rare in our western diet these days) or even better stevia, or combo.

    Just be mindful with these gym food alternatives - includes protein bars and other 'health foods'.

    There is generally still a high saturated fat content.

    https://www.coles.com.au/product/gym-bod-ice-cream-salted-ca…

    For example has 5.9g of fat of which 4.3g is saturated fats.

    It's still far better than regular ice cream and has half the calories per 100g.

    • knk on 29/02/2024 - 09:37

      Need to look at the density of it too. Sure per 100g half the calories, but I find these are usually really dense and you can have a comparable serving of ice cream for the same calories.

      I can't comment on this one though as I haven't tried it.
