Early LifeEustace Chesser was born in Edinburgh on March 22, 1902, to Russian immigrants. He educated at George Watson's College and received his medical degree from the University of Edinburgh, in 1926. CareerChesser worked for some years as a GP in Cinderford, Manchester and spent part of the Second World War as a clinical assistant at the Tavistock Clinic.[1] In 1940 he published a sex manual entitled Love Without Fear. It sold 5,000 copies but it was withdrawn, and Chesser was arrested for obscenity.[6] Rather than pleading guilty and accepting a fine, Chesser chose to be tried by jury.[7] Chesser, who pleaded not guilty, was later acquitted. During the course of the trial, three doctors expressed the opinion that the book served a very useful purpose.[2] 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.[3] DietingChesser authored the book Slimming for the Million in 1939. He advocated a low-carbohydrate high-protein diet.[4] 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."[4] His low-carb dieting ideas are a predecessor to the Atkins diet.[4] Personal lifeIn 1926 Chesser married Rose Morris, by whom he had the psychiatrist Edward Stewart Chesser and a daughter. She died in 1960. Chesser later married Sheila Blayney-Jones, who survived him.[1] In 1968 Chesser suffered a serious illness which left him physically incapacitated for the remainder of his life. Following his death, in 1973, a meeting in memory of Chesser was held at the Royal Society of Medicine.[5] Bibliography
