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!!

      It's kinda the key message here.

      This is arguably a better alternative for a food product that is highly processed, has low nutritional value, and is adding to your diet refined carbohydrates (arficial sweeteners > sugar), and saturated fats (limited with use of skim milks/solids).

      But you still need to keep this to a treat, small serving size, max once/week. Ensure the halo effect doesn't permit you to indulge.

        As a consumer I have never bought Norco milk. My primary driver for milk (in my view, the same products) is price and I doubt Norco has ever been cheapest. Even if it was, their packaging is the same (no design advantage) and their sticker is ugly.

      I don’t know the inner workings of how Colesworth negotiate with suppliers, but I guess shelf space is limited and if your product is not selling, there’s another supplier wanting to take your place. Suppliers can also sell direct to consumer if they want but guessing this requires a lot of investment that suppliers don’t want to do.

      Aldi’s margins are better than Colesworth too but no one jumping on them

      In a previous role I dealt with JB HiFi & they are ruthless with suppliers too. Bunnings even worse

        Aldi’s margins are better than Colesworth too but no one jumping on them

        Unless it has changed recently, when I worked at a fruit+veg supplier the rates Aldi paid for produce was significantly better than Coles or Woolworths, and Aldi were happy to stock the perfectly fine but not quite perfect stuff Colesworths rejected.

        This anger hasn't come from nowhere, farmers/distributors have been on this bandwagon for decades.

        If they're making better margins it's because they've cut some bullshit out somewhere else.

        • Dollar General on 28/02/2024 - 14:00

          Like most public outrage, the anger is based on ignorant assumptions that are designed to fit their pre-existing world view. People bemoan manipulated data/dishonesty, but if that dishonesty fits in with their world view, it's fine.

          Aldi is a private company so doesn't publish its results in as much detail as Woolworths/Coles does, but in 2022 they reported an 8.4% profit margin - higher than both of them. Anecdotally, they seem to have raised prices in-line with Woolworths and Coles since then, so I'd imagine it's even higher now (but my own personal shopping doesn't represent the Australian average, so I'm not going to make that claim for across the board).

          I would have absolutely no issue whatsoever if the response to this was "yes, that's true but Woolworths/Coles are significantly bigger so it's best to focus on them first", but as this thread proves, the response is generally along the lines of "nuh uh, I don't like Woolworths so I'm just gonna assume they're the worst, and I like Aldi so I'm just gonna assume they're good".

          Despite being a "radical leftist", I annoyingly correct falsehoods from "my own side" just as much as those who are pro-business, pro-wealthy etc. It's incredibly depressing - we have the absolute moral high ground, there's no need to continuously peddle lies…

      • Buckshot on 05/03/2024 - 14:32

        There have been other protein low sugar ice creams come and go, and I agree they all seem to be missing that smooth texture, which leads them to be a bit crumbly. I'm guessing that has to do with cream and other things that would cause the calories to blow out.

        I'd happily give it a go, though.

        No, dude. Per 100g a drumstick has 9x the carbs, 3x the salt, about half the protein, and twice the calories.
        This won't kick you out of ketosis either. Not useless at all.

          351 calories for the gym bod ice cream and 290 calories. Maybe for some people who believe the ketosis junk this isn't good for them. But seriously your not getting enough protein to make this worth the extra $5 and carbs and salt is not necessarily bad for you. If your cutting all you should worry about is you being a calorie deficit.

            Ketosis is a great method of losing weight along with other benefits that requires bugger-all counting, but to go that route, carbs are the devil.

      The Strawberry Shortcake flavour has been sitting in the freezer since I first tasted it, doesn't really taste like ice cream..

      If mainly interested due to low calories, Halo Top on special is a much better option. I don't know much about the protein side of it.

      Recently switched to Ninja creamie but Cookies n cream was good as was the caramel one. Chocolate was alright. Tastes like a typical frozen dessert that doesn’t have enough milk fat to be legally called an icecream, so nice as a healthier option.

      Keep in mind though that not all are 21g protein. Some of the vegan/vegetarian flavours are much lower.

        No one's coming to Ozbargain to cover the depths of medical literature you'd expect from a meta-analysis.

        Currently there is conclusive evidence on the health effects of artificial sweeteners.

        They include an exponentially greater effect on central neurotransmitter activity such as dopamine and the driving of appetite for further sweetened foods (increased consumption), higher rates of chronic disease and vascular risk factors (e.g. obesity, diabetes, cancer), and a deteriorating effect on intestinal microbiota.

        The precidament is that we are framed with the choice of artificial sweetener vs. refined carbohydrates like sugars. Arguably the artificial types are going to be the better (read: marginally less unhealthy) choice because it will lessen the calorie excess problem that many have and a lower body mass will typically have less chronic disease effects than a higher one. But getting pass the gross energy balance equation and you're just making a choice between two unhealthy additives that each have their own deleterious effects.

        The more relevant choice is sweetener additives (artificial or sugars) vs. sweet whole foods (e.g. fruit). Now we have a health choice. But if you're reaching for ice-cream or soda, you have a clear intention for your actions, and it's not based on nutrition or health.

        If I consume maltitol, I end up doubled over with abdominal pain. Not all people react the same, but some sort of reaction is not uncommon. Maltitol is a common sweetener in low calorie/sugar bars.

        • OpticalCog on 28/02/2024 - 19:49

          This is likely due to you having a poor gut biome. Maltitiol is prebiotic in nature but if your biome currently has large amounts of ‘bad’ bacteria they will ferment it causing excessive gas release and subsuequent discomfort. If you get on some probiotics over time u may find you are able to tolerate it fine.

      • EightImmortals on 28/02/2024 - 21:29

      Lactose causes more gut issues with me personally than these types of sweeteners. I think they are more likely to cause dramas if you eat a lot of it in one sitting. Which can be a problem with this type of dessert - sometimes if you think something is "healthy" or "less bad than the real thing" you can tend to eat more of it than you really should.
