Crossword Genius

Bound to change diet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tied

'bound' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'change diet' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'diet' is an anagram of 'TIED'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tied that I've seen before include "Drawn" , "Bound to diet" , "Roped into diet" , "Fastened, bound" , "Bound or secured" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
