ダイペットは、あなたのお腹からとれた“ぜい肉”を食べて育ちます。 ダイエットによって減った分の体重が、ぜい肉としてペットのエサになります。 あなたがダイエットに成功すればするほどペットが成長します。 飼育期間(ダイエット期間)は30日、60日、90日間で選択ができます。 目安ですので期間を過ぎても継続できます。 ※本アプリは、2012年8月にリリースされたダイペットの強化版です。データの引継ぎはできませんので予めご了承ください。 ※期間中の最低体重がベースとなる為、最低体重より減った場合のみ「ぜい肉」が与えられます。期間中に増えた体重分が減っても「ぜい肉」は与えられず「0g」と表記されます。 計測可能体重は30kg~200kg、目標体重の差は2kg以上が必要です。
