Weightwatchers finish with detailed brief (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dieters

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

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

'finish with detailed brief' is the wordplay.
'finish' becomes 'die'.
'with detailed brief' becomes 'ters' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'die'+'ters'='DIETERS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for dieters that I've seen is " people trying to lose weight".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
