Diet & Weight Loss Tips, Diet Advice, Diet Article

Is it normal to experience the shakes while dieting?

The 'shakes' or that jittery feeling that one gets deep inside is a common experience among dieters that should not be ignored. The 'shakes' is a signal from your body which is trying to tell you that it's in trouble.

Generally, that trembling feeling is due to a too-restricted diet which requires an intake of energy asap. In some instances, a hidden illness can rear its ugly head - such as diabetes. In these cases, abrupt medical treatment is necessary.

Should you experience a mild feeling of jitteriness while dieting, try eating something substantial such as a Tablespoon of peanut butter and a glass of orange juice. If the feeling of jitteriness does not go away, please call your doctor.

If you experience a feeling of jitteriness while dieting AND you are also taking diet pills, this feeling may be a common side effect that you will need to share with your doctor.
