[Shocking] Why are 40% of Japanese people thin despite being 'genetically prone to obesity'? The DNA x AI fusion diet practiced by 12 million people reveals the true nature of the 'slimming switch' hidden in your constitution

~Stop giving up by saying 'it's just my constitution.' The ultimate personal slimming method for Japanese people, proven by science~

Introduction: Your body has yet to unleash its true potential

6:00 AM.

You wake up naturally before the alarm clock rings.

You open the curtains, and the morning sun streams into the room. You look at your reflection in the mirror and sigh.

'Am I going to have to face this body again today...'

How many times have you tried to go on a diet?

Low-carb, ketogenic, 16-hour fasting, morning banana, apple diet...

Trying one trendy diet method after another, losing weight temporarily, and then rebounding.

Aren't you tired of this cycle yet?

But wait a minute.

What if the real reason you can't lose weight isn't 'weak willpower' or 'lack of effort,' but rather a 'constitution prone to obesity' engraved in your DNA?

And what if, by accurately understanding that constitution, you could find your own unique 'slimming switch'?

This is not a story from a sci-fi movie.

In 2025, this is happening in reality.

Shocking fact: Over 40% of Japanese people have 'obesity-prone genes'

Here, let me show you some surprising data.

Approximately 40-45% of Japanese people have the ALDH2 gene variant heterozygote, and about 5-10% have the variant homozygote.

In other words, a total of about 45-55% have some kind of mutation.

Latest research has revealed that people with this gene mutation not only cannot break down alcohol, but are also prone to glucose metabolism disorders and easily accumulate visceral fat.

Even more shocking is the FTO gene mutation.

Research results show that people with this gene have a 1.67 times higher risk of obesity (odds ratio) even when consuming the same number of calories.

“So, does that mean I can never lose weight?”

No, that is not the case.

In fact, this is good news.

This is because by knowing your genetic type, you can avoid wasting time and money on ineffective diets.

A 'new form of dieting' proven by 12 million people

A quiet revolution is currently taking place in Japan.

Over 12 million people use the meal management app 'Asuken' (as of January 2025).

12 million downloads surpassed by 'FiNC'.

By combining these AI-powered apps with DNA testing, many people are achieving results that are incomparable to traditional methods.

The case of Ms. A, a 42-year-old woman living in Tokyo

“For 20 years, no matter what diet I tried, I couldn't lose weight. But once I found out through a DNA test that I was a 'type with poor lipid metabolism,' everything changed.”

Based on the results of her genetic test, she switched to a diet that limits lipids and consumes moderate amounts of carbohydrates.

Furthermore, the AI app analyzes her daily meals and tells her in real-time which nutrients she is lacking.

The result?

8.5kg lost in 3 months. And, no rebound.

“Until now, I was just working hard in the wrong way. By knowing my own constitution, I was finally able to make the 'right effort'.

Why DNA x AI now?

In fact, there is a clear scientific basis for this revolutionary change.

In 2020, RIKEN conducted a genome analysis of 210,000 Japanese people, and in 2024, they announced a whole-genome sequencing study of the Japanese population.

As a result, genetic characteristics unique to the Japanese people are being revealed one after another.

In other words, the reason why diet methods developed in the West are less effective for Japanese people has been proven at the genetic level.

Even more interesting is a phenomenon unique to Japan called 'seasonal gene expression'.

The UCP1 gene is involved in thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue and has been confirmed to be activated in winter.

This is a characteristic unique to Japanese people that is not seen in Westerners.

The common wisdom that 'it is easy to gain weight in winter' actually suggests that for Japanese people, 'winter may be the easiest time to lose weight'.

Chapter 1: The true nature of the 'slimming switch' hidden in your body

The 5 genetic types that determine the Japanese constitution

Do you know which type you are?

Recent research has revealed that the obesity-prone constitution of Japanese people is mainly classified into 5 genetic types.

1. Lipid metabolism disorder type (approx. 25-34% of Japanese people)

A type with the Trp64Arg mutation in the ADRB3 gene.

People of this type have weaker brown adipose cell function for burning fat, and it has been found that their basal metabolism is 200 kcal/day lower than the average person.

Characteristics:

• Fat tends to accumulate in the lower body

• Sensitivity to cold

• Weight increases the day after eating fried foods

• Difficult to lose weight even with aerobic exercise

Effective for this type:

• Limit fat intake to under 40g per day

• Consume 1.5g of protein per kg of body weight

• Improving basal metabolism through strength training is essential

2. Carbohydrate Metabolism Disorder Type (Estimated 20-30% of Japanese people)

A type with an FTO gene mutation. It is a constitution with low insulin sensitivity and a tendency for blood sugar levels to rise easily.

Characteristics:

• Fat tends to accumulate around the abdomen

• Tendency to feel sleepy after meals

• Cannot stop eating sweets

• Feel irritable when hungry

Recommended measures:

• Diet centered on low-GI foods

• Eating 5-6 small meals a day

• Eating vegetables first at meals ('veggie-first')

• Light exercise within 30 minutes after meals

3. ALDH2 Mutation Type (45-55% of Japanese people)

This gene mutation, known for making one unable to drink alcohol, is actually deeply related to obesity.

Characteristics:

• Face turns red when drinking alcohol

• Tendency to prefer sweets

• Prone to weight gain from stress

• High risk of liver fat accumulation

For this type:

• Complete elimination of alcohol

• Active intake of antioxidants (vitamins C and E)

• Stress management (meditation, yoga)

• Consumption of foods that support liver function (turmeric, shijimi clams)

4. Muscle Type Incompatibility (approx. 20% of Japanese)

People with the XX type of the ACTN3 gene have fewer fast-twitch muscle fibers and a constitution where it is difficult to build muscle.

Characteristics:

• Difficult to build muscle even with strength training

• Has endurance but lacks explosive power

• Protein is not easily converted into muscle even when consumed

Countermeasures:

• Low-load, high-repetition training

• Exercise programs centered on aerobic exercise

• Utilization of BCAA supplements

• Frequent, small-portion protein intake

5. Complex Type (estimated 10-15% of Japanese)

Possessing multiple genetic mutations, this is the most difficult type to lose weight.

For this type of person, a personalized approach is absolutely essential.

The Japanese metabolic system that changes with the seasons

Here, we introduce a discovery that surprised researchers around the world.

The activity of brown adipose tissue in Japanese people changes according to the season.

Facts revealed in a 2024 study:

Spring (March-May): Brown fat activity is at its lowest. Basal metabolism reaches its annual minimum.

Summer (June-August): Natural weight loss due to decreased appetite from the heat.

Autumn (September-November): Appetite increases, shifting to fat storage mode.

Winter (December-February): Brown fat is activated, and basal metabolism rises.

In other words, winter is the easiest time for Japanese people to lose weight.

Diet strategies based on the season

Winter strategy (December-February)

• Active calorie restriction

• Utilize cold stimulation (light clothing, cold showers)

• High-intensity interval training

Spring strategy (March-May)

• Consumption of metabolism-boosting ingredients (ginger, chili peppers)

• Improving basal metabolism through strength training

• Increase protein intake

Summer strategy (June-August)

• Be conscious of water intake

• Mineral supplementation

• Light aerobic exercise

Autumn strategy (September-November)

• Focus on appetite control

• Choosing foods that provide satiety

• Stress management

Chapter 2: How AI diagnostics are changing your eating habits

The 'diet that really works' taught by big data from 12 million people

A surprising fact has been revealed from the vast amount of dietary data accumulated by 'Asuken'.

Common traits of people who succeeded in dieting:

1. Dinner recording rate of 95% or higher(Failures are 73%)

2. Vegetable intake of 350g or more per day(Failures are 200g or less)

3. Consuming 20g or more of protein at every meal(Failures are 10g or less)

4. Recording snacks(Failures do not record)

5. Tracking water intake(Failures are not conscious of it)

Even more interesting is the AI analysis result of the 'failure pattern'.

Behavioral patterns of people who rebound:

• Extreme dietary restriction (1000kcal or less per day)

• Single-food diet

• Interruption of records for 3 days or more

• Weighing yourself once a week or less

• Binge eating on 'reward days'

The 'Golden Ratio for Japanese People' derived by AI

Through FiNC's AI analysis, the optimal nutritional balance for Japanese people has been revealed:

Ideal PFC balance for the average Japanese person:

• Protein (P): 20-25%

• Fat (F): 20-25%

• Carbohydrates (C): 50-60%

However, this ratio changes significantly depending on your genetic type:

For the lipid metabolism disorder type:

• P: 30%

• F: 15%

• C: 55%

For the carbohydrate metabolism disorder type:

• P: 25%

• F: 35%

• C: 40%

Perfect nutritional analysis from a single photo

The latest AI image recognition technology instantly analyzes the following from a single photo:

• Calories (±10% margin of error)

• 14 types of nutrients

• Food estimation (80% accuracy)

• Portion size

• Cooking method estimation

Furthermore, as a unique Japanese technological innovation, an automatic calorie measurement device using near-infrared rays has been developed.

This device supports 900 types of Japanese food, and by simply placing your bento box on it, you can measure the calories and nutrients of each side dish individually.

Consciousness changes through dialogue with the AI chatbot 'Miki'

Asken's AI nutritionist 'Miki' is not just an advisor.

An AI that has learned from the success and failure data of 12 million people analyzes your eating patterns and provides personalized advice.

What 'Miki' can do:

• Pointing out insufficient nutrients and suggesting improvements

• Specific menu suggestions for your next meal

• Detecting signs of declining motivation

• Dietary advice based on the season and physical condition

• Warning of rebound risk

An actual dialogue example:

You: 'I ate ramen for lunch today...'

Miki: 'Ramen is fine once in a while! However, since your salt intake has reached 70% of the recommended daily amount, I recommend a light-flavored Japanese meal for dinner. In particular, incorporating spinach or sweet potatoes, which are rich in potassium, will help with salt excretion.'

You: 'But I'm hungry...'

Future: 'With your genetic type, your blood sugar levels tend to drop easily. Eating 10 almonds (about 60 kcal) as a snack will stabilize your blood sugar and prevent overeating at dinner.'

Chapter 3: Your personal 'weight-loss blueprint' revealed by DNA testing

The full picture of DNA tests available in Japan

As of 2025, we have thoroughly compared the major DNA testing services available in Japan.

1. GeneLife Genesis 2.0 Plus (Genesis Healthcare)

• Price: Approx. 15,900 yen

• Test items: Over 360 items

• Obesity-related genes: 18 types

• Time to results: 2-3 weeks

• Features: Database of 2.8 million Japanese people, specialized for Asians

User testimonial (35-year-old female): 'I found out I have a mutation in the UCP1 gene, and learned that winter is actually the best chance for dieting. I succeeded in losing 7kg in the three months from December to February!'

2. MYCODE (DeNA Life Science)

• Price: 19,800 yen (Comprehensive)

• Test items: 100 diseases + constitution

• Joint research with the Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo

3. DIET DNA Test (DHC)

• Price: 5,500 yen

• Test items: Specialized in 3 types of obesity genes

• Simple but low-priced

• For beginners

How to interpret test results

Using an actual test result report as an example, we will explain how to utilize it.

Sample report (Case of Mr. B, 40-year-old male):

Obesity risk: High (top 20%)

Genetic mutations possessed:

• FTO gene: Risk type (+1.67x)

• ADRB3 gene: Mutant type (Basal metabolism -200kcal/day)

• UCP1 gene: Normal type (Brown fat activity ◎)

• ALDH2 gene: Mutant type (Alcohol X)

What this report reveals:

1. Because basal metabolism is low, a diet with 200kcal less than the average person is required

2. Because brown fat activity is high in winter, December to February is the optimal diet period

3. Alcohol is completely off-limits, as the burden on the liver accelerates obesity

4. Because there is an FTO gene risk, the satiety center is dull

Specific advice for Mr. B:

• Daily calorie intake: 1,800kcal (average male -200kcal)

• Meal frequency: 5 small meals per day (to cover the satiety center issue)

• Exercise: Strength training 3 times a week is essential (to improve basal metabolism)

• Optimal start time: December (brown fat activity period)

• Avoid: Alcohol, high-GI foods

Optimal exercise program by genotype

For Fast-Twitch Type (ACTN3 RR/RX type):

Monday: Chest/Triceps (Bench press, Dips) Tuesday: Rest Wednesday: Back/Biceps (Deadlift, Pull-ups) Thursday: Rest Friday: Legs/Shoulders (Squat, Shoulder press) Saturday: HIIT 20 min Sunday: Rest

Each exercise: High weight x Low reps (6-8 reps x 3 sets)

For Slow-Twitch Type (ACTN3 XX type):

Monday: Full-body circuit training (40 min) Tuesday: Jogging (45 min) Wednesday: Yoga or Pilates (60 min) Thursday: Cycling (45 min) Friday: Swimming (30 min) Saturday: Hiking or long-distance walking Sunday: Light stretching

Each exercise: Low weight x High reps (15-20 reps x 4 sets)

Chapter 4: Learning from success stories, the trajectory of real change

Case 1: A housewife (45) freed from 20 years of obesity

Ms. C's profile:

• Height: 158cm

• Starting weight: 78kg (BMI 31.2)

• Genetic type: Lipid metabolism deficiency type + ALDH2 mutation

Before: 'I have been overweight since I was in junior high school and have spent most of my life dieting. Apple diet, carb-free, fasting... I tried everything, but I always rebounded. I would lose 15kg at best and gain 20kg, over and over again.'

Turning point: In January 2024, I took the GeneLife test and a shocking fact was revealed.

'I had a constitution that couldn't metabolize lipids. Until now, I thought that as long as I kept calories down, I could use low-calorie mayonnaise and dressings, but that was a mistake.'

Practice details:

• Limit lipids to 30g per day

• Consume protein at 1.5g per body weight (approx. 100g/day)

• Record all meals on Asuken

• Strength training 3 times a week (30 minutes per session)

3 months later:

• Weight: 78kg → 69kg (-9kg)

• Body fat percentage: 38% → 31%

• Waist: 92cm → 82cm

6 months later:

• Weight: 69kg → 63kg (Total -15kg)

• Body fat percentage: 31% → 26%

• Waist: 82cm → 74cm

1 year later (now):

• Weight: Maintaining 60kg (-18kg)

• Body fat percentage: 24%

• "For the first time in my life, I haven't rebounded."

Case 2: Office worker who solved the problem of not being able to build muscle (38-year-old male)

Mr. D's profile:

• Height: 172cm

• At start: Weight 68kg, body fat percentage 28%

• Genetic type: Slow-twitch muscle type (ACTN3 XX type)

Before: "Even after going to the gym for 3 years, I couldn't build any muscle at all. Even though I was drinking protein every day, I was in a 'skinny fat' state where only my stomach was sticking out."

DNA test results: 'It turned out I have a genotype with extremely low fast-twitch muscle fibers. The heavy-weight training I had been doing was completely unsuitable for me.'

New approach:

• Changed to low-weight, high-repetition training

• Increased aerobic exercise to 4 times a week

• Divided protein intake into 5 servings

• Accurately tracked calories burned with the FiNC app

6-month changes:

• Weight: 68kg → 65kg (-3kg)

• Body fat percentage: 28% → 18% (-10%)

• Muscle mass: 46kg → 48kg (+2kg)

'My appearance has changed dramatically. My abs are now visible, and I have a physique that looks good in a suit. I truly realize the importance of knowing the method that suits your genes.'

Case 3: Achieved -12kg from postpartum weight gain (32 years old)

E's profile:

• Postpartum weight: 72kg

• Goal: 55kg (pre-pregnancy weight)

• Genetic type: Complex type (the hardest to lose weight)

Challenge: 'I'm breastfeeding, so I can't do extreme dietary restrictions. I can't find time for exercise either. But I don't want to stay in this shape.'

Strategy:

1. Identified the optimal nutritional balance via DNA testing

2. Ensured necessary nutrients while breastfeeding using an AI app

3. Implementation of the 'While-Doing' exercise program

4. Utilizing seasonality (Winter intensive diet)

Practical content:

• Morning: Protein smoothie + brown rice rice ball

• Lunch: Balanced bento (recipe supervised by Asuken)

• Dinner: Protein-focused (fish or chicken)

• Snacks: Nuts, yogurt

• Exercise: Squats while holding the baby, stroller walks

9-month results:

• Weight: 72kg → 60kg (-12kg)

• Clothing size: Size 13 → Size 9

• 'Even while breastfeeding, you can lose weight if you use the right method'

Chapter 5: Fusion of Japanese culture and personal diet

From 'the same as everyone else' to 'my own method'

The collectivist values of the Japanese people create unique challenges in dieting.

The workplace lunchtime problem:

'Everyone is going to a ramen shop, and I can't be the only one to refuse' 'It's hard to say I'm on a diet at a drinking party' 'Refusing souvenir sweets ruins the atmosphere'

These are diet barriers created by the Japanese-specific culture of 'not disturbing the harmony'.

Solution: The weapon of 'scientific evidence'

'According to my genetic test results, I have a constitution that cannot metabolize lipids...' 'I am receiving guidance from a doctor...' 'I am managing my health with an app'

Japanese people tend to be more receptive if there is a scientific reason—we will leverage this characteristic.

Making 'honne' (true feelings) and 'tatemae' (public facade) your allies

Tatemae: 'I am being careful for the sake of my health.' Honne: 'I want to be thin and beautiful.'

Understanding and utilizing this dual structure is the key to success.

Practical examples in the workplace:

Utilizing tatemae:

• 'My health checkup results are...'

• 'Thinking about my family's health too...'

• 'Cooperating with the company's health management...'

Realizing honne:

• Secretly recording in an app

• Intensive training on weekends

• Making friends via anonymous SNS accounts

Maximizing the excellence of Japanese food

Dietary advantages of Japanese food:

1. Perfect nutritional balance of 'one soup, three dishes'

2. Intestinal environment improvement effect of fermented foods

3. Satisfaction through umami

4. Metabolism promotion through seasonal ingredients

Japanese food arrangements by genetic type:

Lipid metabolism disorder type:

• Menu centered on grilled fish

• Avoid deep-fried tofu and thick fried tofu

• Make the most of dashi culture

Carbohydrate metabolism disorder type:

• Utilize multi-grain rice and brown rice

• Strictly follow the order of eating (vegetables -> protein -> carbohydrates)

• Always add vinegared dishes

Chapter 6: The Future of Dieting Realized by Latest Technology

2025, Cutting-edge technology you can use now

1. Integration with Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM)

By linking CGM devices like FreeStyle Libre with AI apps, making food choices while monitoring blood glucose levels in real-time becomes possible.

Example: 'My blood glucose spikes to 180 when I eat pasta, but stays at 140 if I eat a salad first.' 'If I put sugar in my morning coffee, my blood glucose remains unstable all morning.'

2. Metabolism measurement via smartwatch

Devices like Apple Watch and Fitbit measure fluctuations in basal metabolism in real-time.

'My basal metabolism is high today, so it's okay to eat a little more.' 'Keep calories low during the period when metabolism drops due to the menstrual cycle.'

3. Instant meal image analysis by AI

Just by taking a photo, nutritional analysis is completed in 0.3 seconds.

Latest accuracy:

• Calories: ±8% margin of error

• Protein: ±10% margin of error

• Fat: ±12% margin of error

• Carbohydrates: ±10% margin of error

24-hour support from a virtual nutritionist

Evolution of AI chatbots:

The AI nutritionist of 2025 goes beyond simple Q&A to become a partner that stays close to your daily life.

What it can do:

• Suggest optimal recipes based on the contents of your fridge

• Real-time support for menu selection when dining out

• Meal suggestions based on your physical condition and mood

• Detecting drops in motivation and offering encouragement

Example of an actual conversation:

7:00 AM AI: 'Good morning! Today is a day with high metabolism. If you have a bit more protein for breakfast, you'll feel great all day.'

12:00 PM AI: 'It's lunchtime. You didn't have many vegetables yesterday, so I recommend a larger salad today.'

3:00 PM AI: 'It's time for a snack. 10 almonds (60kcal) won't affect your dinner.'

10:00 PM AI: 'Your calorie intake for today is right on target! You're just 10g short on protein, so how about some Greek yogurt before bed?'

Maintaining motivation through gamification

FiNC point system:

• Achieving step count goals: 10 points

• Meal logging: 5 points

• Weight record: 3 points

• Like a friend: 2 points

Exchange 500 points for a 500 yen gift certificate

This will transform dieting from a 'hardship' into a 'game'.

Chapter 7: Common stumbling blocks and how to overcome them

Common failure patterns and countermeasures

Failure pattern 1: The trap of perfectionism

"If I forget to record even for one day, it's all over..."

Countermeasure:

• Adopt the 80% rule (recording 5 days a week is fine)

• Utilize the recovery function (can be recorded later)

• Mindset of 'an imperfect year is better than a perfect month'

Failure pattern 2: Confusion due to information overload

"I have to do the DNA test, the AI app, everything..."

Countermeasure:

• Start with just the app first

• Do the DNA test once you have continued for a month

• Step-by-step introduction

Failure pattern 3: Being too impatient for results

"If I don't lose 2kg in a week, there's no point"

Countermeasures:

• Realistic goal setting (1-2kg per month)

• Focus on indicators other than weight (body fat percentage, waist circumference)

• Understanding the importance of a long-term perspective

Scientifically breaking through plateaus

The true nature of a plateau:

The 'plateau' where weight loss stops is a body's defense mechanism.

**Homeostasis (the function of maintaining a constant state)** kicks in, acting as a brake to prevent further weight loss.

Scientific breakthrough methods:

1. Setting a refeed day

• Consume 1.5 times the normal amount of carbohydrates once a week

• Restore leptin (satiety hormone)

• Reactivate metabolism

2. Changing exercise intensity

• Alternate between HIIT and aerobic exercise

• Stimulate new muscle groups

• Send a signal of 'change' to the body

3. Calorie cycling

• Set high-calorie days and low-calorie days

• Monday: 1,200kcal

• Tuesday: 1,500 kcal

• Wednesday: 1,200 kcal

• Thursday: 1,800 kcal (refeed)

• Friday: 1,200 kcal

• Saturday: 1,500 kcal

• Sunday: 1,600 kcal

How to spend the maintenance phase to prevent rebound

The science of rebound:

When you lose 10% of your body weight, your basal metabolic rate drops by 15-20% This is the biggest cause of rebound.

Maintenance phase strategy:

1. Reverse Dieting

• Increase calories by 50-100 kcal per week

• Return to normal eating over 4-8 weeks

• Gradually restore metabolism

2. Maintain/increase muscle mass

• Continue strength training 2-3 times a week

• Maintain protein intake

• Minimize the drop in basal metabolism

3. Continue monitoring

• Weigh yourself once a week

• Monthly body fat percentage measurement

• Set ±2kg as the acceptable range

Final Chapter: Your own personal slimming revolution, starting today

To take the first step

Thank you for reading this far.

I am sure your head is swirling with a lot of information right now.

'I want to get a DNA test,' 'I want to try using an AI app,' 'But where should I start...'

It is okay.

You do not need to do everything at once.

3 things you can do today, right now

1. Download an app to your smartphone (5 minutes)

Choose either 'Asuken' or 'FiNC,' whichever you prefer. The free version is sufficient.

2. Take a photo of your dinner today (10 seconds)

You do not need to record it perfectly. Start with the habit of 'taking a photo'.

3. Weigh yourself (30 seconds)

You can even keep your clothes on. The important thing is to 'know your current status'.

What to do after one week

Review your app records

• What nutrients are you lacking?

• At what time of day do you overeat?

• You are bound to make some surprising discoveries

The decision after one month

Whether or not to take a DNA test

After using the app for a month, if you think, 'I want to know a method that suits me better,' please consider a DNA test.

A final message to you

You have worked hard enough until now.

It is just that the way you worked hard did not match your constitution.

Just as there are gasoline cars, diesel cars, and electric vehicles, there are 'types' of human bodies.

A gasoline car will not run if you put diesel in it. It is meaningless to put gasoline in an electric vehicle.

The right fuel for your body. The right method for your constitution.

Your past failures are not failures. They are valuable data that says, 'This method does not suit me'.

An era where science is on your side

Now in 2025, science and technology are on your side.

• DNA analysis will tell you your constitution

• AI will support you 24 hours a day.

• Big data will derive the optimal method for you.

It is no longer a lonely battle.

Imagine yourself one year from now.

Mornings where you look forward to stepping on the scale. Days where you are happy to look in the mirror. The joy of wearing the clothes you always wanted to. The feeling of wanting to show off your health checkup results.

But more importantly...

The confidence that you can 'understand and control your own body.'

This confidence will support you in every aspect of your life, far beyond just dieting.

Creating a new diet culture for the Japanese people.

We are currently at a turning point in history.

From 'the same diet as everyone else' to 'a diet just for you'.

Mechanisms for consistency

The Golden Rules of Habit Formation:

1. Start small (from recording one meal a day)

2. Do it at the same time (weigh yourself as soon as you wake up)

3. Visualize your records (check progress with graphs)

4. Share with peers (report on social media)

5. Celebrate small successes (reward yourself when you lose 1kg)

The laws of success proven by data

Common traits of successful people shown by data from 12 million users:

• **87%** continued for over 3 months

• **92%** recorded 5 or more days a week

• **76%** have peers or a community

• **83%** measured progress using multiple indicators

• **95%** do not strive for 'perfection'

The future has already begun

In 2025, we are standing at the entrance to a new era.

An era where technology and human wisdom merge, making health management optimized for each individual possible.

The 'true you' that your genes tell you about. The 'optimal method' derived by AI. The 'path to success' shown by data from 12 million people.

Everything is ready.

All that remains is for you to take the first step.

May today be that day.

I am rooting for your success from the bottom of my heart.
