A late start today......stuck on the very last one
7D: Council regime leading to slimming down (4)
D?E?
Thoughts are....... slimming down could mean dieting? Could the answer then be diet, but if so why?
Help please!

diet also means Council (e.g. The Diet of Worms --- NOT
recommended for slimming.........)

Thank you, GK, I couldn't see that at all!
