Can it turn the tide for the overweight? (4)
I believe the answer is:
diet
'overweight?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'can it turn the tide for' is the wordplay.
'tide' can be anagrammed to 'DIET'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diet that I've seen before include "Try to lose weight" , "regular intake" , "Prescribed food - council" , "Regime followed by slimmer" , "Fast - food - convention" .)
