This Personal Trainer Eats $6.95 Yum Cha Pork Gyozas for Weight Loss–Are They Your Secret Weapon Too?

More and more tasty low-calorie options are hitting supermarket shelves these days, but those of us who want to lose weight or even just stay healthy are usually left wondering exactly which ones should end up in our shopping baskets.


With so much to choose from, it can be hard to know where to begin–so it's great when someone goes out of their way to genuinely recommend a product without being paid to do so.

Australian personal trainer Freezma has recently gone viral for recommending Woolworths' $6.95 Yum Cha Japanese Pork Gyoza, a snack he happily eats frequently to maintain his slim figure.

After Freezma shared the $6.95 meal with his followers, the video has since been viewed over 1.4 million times, and the gyozas momentarily were unavailable for purchase online (we checked: as of posting, shoppers can ‘add to cart’ again!).

In the video, Freezma recommends the meal for those looking to lose weight.

'Now I might get in trouble for this because if this goes viral, these could sell out, and my girlfriend has them in her diet every single day,' jokes Freezma in the video.

He then further endorses the health credentials of the snack by pointing out that for only $6.95, a packet of ten gyozas contains just 320 calories and 28g of protein.

'You can eat this whole pack of gyozas–all ten of them–for only 320 calories and hit 28g of protein! Absolutely unreal,' he said.


In the caption, he further explains why you should make this item your go-to weight-loss snack.

'The amount of protein you get for such a low number of calories is quite insane, and being a steamed product, they’re sure to keep you full longer,' Freezma added.

In the comment section, there was a lot of praise for the recommendation, with many agreeing that the pork gyozas were a great option for weight loss.

'Love my gyozas staple in my diet. Lost 15kg so far. I add them in low sodium broth with heaps of green leafy veg for a longer fuller feeling,' one wrote.

However, some of his followers pointed out that a potential downside to the product might be the high sodium content–an ingredient that should definitely be kept track of if you're serious about dieting or if you have conditions like hypertension.


'High in sodium, so in moderation,' one wrote, as another agreed and said: 'Sodium [is] way too high.'

The nutrition label on the back of the packet reveals that there's 218.8mg of sodium per serving or 875mg per 100g, so it's definitely something to watch out for.

Pork (44%), Cabbage, Wheat Flour (15%), Chives (10%), Water, Sugar, Salt, Soy Sauce, Flavour Enhancer (621) with these ingredients I wouldn't touch them with a barge poll. Wheat flour is inflammatory, sugar in there too and the worst one. MSG. No thanks
Well Muslims won't be using this as a weight reduction method...
 
I think this guy needs to go to Specsavers. The protein is 2.8g, NOT 28 as he stated
 
I don't believe you have to eat something special to lose weight just eat less and walk a lot
Exactly right.....people eat too much these days, especially if they don't exercise. If you can't burn the calories you eat, small healthy meals is the way to go. I cringe when I see people eating those huge hamburgers ! 👀🙉yuk
