Eustace Chesser

Eustace Chesser (formerly Isaac Chesarkie) (22 March 1902 – 1973) was a Scottish psychiatrist, social reformer and writer.

In 1940 he published a sex manual entitled Love Without Fear.

In 1959 Chesser resigned from the British Medical Association after the BMA decided that no further copies of a booklet to which he had contributed, entitled 'Getting Married', should be issued. The BMA defended its decision on the grounds that the booklet had been criticised by other doctors who were members of the BMA.

Dieting

Chesser authored the book Slimming for the Million in 1939. He advocated a low-carbohydrate high-protein diet. He recommended bacon, eggs, lean meats and fresh vegetables. He argued that "all sugars should be avoided like the devil", especially chocolate which he described as "one of obesity's biggest allies."

Personal life In 1926 Chesser married Rose Morris, with whom he had a son, later the psychiatrist Edward Stewart Chesser, and a daughter, Shirley. Chesser later married Sheila Blayney-Jones, who survived him.
