shivers caused by a woman's coldness due to her dieting (restricting her calorie intake to lose weight and/or become thinner). Dieting causes the metabolism to slow and therefore generate less heat, causing the dieter to shiver to keep warm.
Though the night was 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the model had diet shivers because she had been fasting for two days in preparation for a photo-shoot.
