I'd eat no differently though trying to slim (2,1,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on a diet

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

'trying to slim' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'i'd eat no differently' is the wordplay.
'differently' indicates an anagram.
'id'+'eat'+'no'='ideatno'
'ideatno' anagrammed gives 'ON A DIET'.

'though' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for on a diet that I've seen is " eating particular foods".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
