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

'starving just nonconformist' is the definition.
'dissident' can be an answer for 'nonconformist' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'starving just' bit.

'diana's team not' is the wordplay.
'diana's' becomes 'Di's' (Di is short for Diana).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'not' becomes 'n't' (synonyms).
'dis'+'side'+'nt'='DISSIDENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dissident that I've seen before include "Opposer of official line" , "Insets did for one who opposes authority" , "One opposing official policy" , "Opposer of officialdom" , "Political nonconformist" .)
