People who eat according to a regulated or restrictive eating plan, usually to lose weight or improve health.
From 'dieter' (one who diets) + '-s' (plural). 'Dieter' emerged in the 20th century alongside the diet industry boom.
Dieters today are chasing an ideal that was invented barely a century ago—the concept of intentional restriction for weight loss is a surprisingly modern invention.
