■ Overview of "Asken Official: Encyclopedia of 200kcal Sweets"
While it is often thought that one must "hold back on snacks" during a diet, a questionnaire survey conducted by the Company revealed that approximately 80% of users who achieved their target weight answered that they "snacked" (*). The secret to long-lasting dieting is not to forcibly hold back on snacking, but to incorporate it "smartly."
"Asken" recommends "around 200kcal" of the total energy intake as a guideline for daily snacking. Based on this concept, this book carefully selects sweets recipes that can be made at around 200kcal or less, satisfying both the body and mind. No special tools or ovens are required, and all of them are easy to make. It includes many popular sweets such as cheesecakes and brownies.
It is a book thoroughly researched for deliciousness and healthiness, highly recommended even for those who "love sweets" and for whom "sweets are the healing part of the day!"
*Questionnaire survey targeting 713 users who achieved their self-set target weight between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 (Conducted in February 2026)
