I believe the answer is:

diet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'council' is the definition.
(I know that council can be written as diet)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diet that I've seen before include "Legislative assembly; food regimen" , "Try to lose weight" , "Health food - Council" , "Weight-loss plan" , "Eat sparingly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
