Therefore, there is a growing need for a new method to help people who are continuing a diet or setting a goal to diet maintain their will to diet. Figure 1 shows a schematic configuration of a platform providing a competitive diet participation service according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a competitive diet participation service according to an embodiment of the present invention. Preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. Prior to this, terms and words used in this specification and claims should not be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, and should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the present invention, based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the terms to best describe his invention. Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention; thus, it should be understood that various equivalents and modifications that can replace them may exist at the time of filing this application. Figure 1 shows a schematic configuration of a platform providing a competitive diet participation service according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a competitive diet participation service provision platform consists of a server (100), a user terminal (200), a wearable device (300), and a body fat scale (400). The server (100) includes a communication unit (110) and a processor (120), and the communication unit (110) has the function of communicating with the user terminal (200) of the diet participants or directly exchanging information with the user terminal (200), the wearable device (300), and the body fat scale (400). The processor (120) performs the following processes: (a) sequentially accepting participants who wish to participate in the competitive diet participation service and receiving participation fees; (b) receiving information on the initial height, initial weight, and initial body fat of the participants from each group and grouping the accepted participants into groups of a predetermined unit; (c) receiving information on the weight and body fat of the participants at a specific point in time from the participants in each group at a predetermined period; (d) receiving information on the weight and body fat of the participants at a specific point in time from the participants in each group at the time of the diet competition closing; and (e) calculating a ranking based on the body fat change rate of the diet competition participants in each group or the score calculated in correspondence therewith, and according to the calculated ranking, refunding the participation fee and paying differential prize money according to the ranking from 1st place to a predetermined nth place, refunding the participation fee from the n+1st place to a predetermined mth place, and partially refunding the participation fee according to the ranking from the m+1st place to a predetermined kth place. The user terminal (200) may be a separate personal terminal for the competitive diet participation service of the present invention, but may also be a personal smartphone, PC, etc. of the users. In this case, it is preferable that the competitive diet participation service application of the present invention be installed on the smartphone or PC. The wearable device (300) is a device capable of determining the user's location, number of steps, whether exercise is performed, and type of exercise, and can be used in the form of a wristwatch. Such a wearable device may be a device dedicated to other services of the present invention, but it ma
