Spanish term

dieta diferida

Spanish to English Medical Nutrition Diets
Hola todos. Estoy traduciendo una historia clínica y dentro de los protocolos de cuidado de un paciente internado en una unidad de cuidado intensivo, se incluye la DIETA DIFERIDA. ¿Cómo se traduce esto al inglés y qué tipos de dieta existen en los hospitales y/o clínicas? (final part of the question doesn't need to be answered - just curious).

Gracias mil!
Proposed translations (English)
2 +1 temporary fast
3 staggered diet
3 mono diet
3 Diet programmed for one type of food a day

Discussion

Emma Goldsmith Jan 16, 2011:
The only reference I can find is about a "deferred dietary regime" in cows who were fed low energy and then high energy diets.
Could this simply be a patient on a low-calorie intake?
Do you have more context? What comes before and after? Why is the patient in intensive care? Has he/she got a nasogastric tube?

temporary fast

Parece significar que el paciente no deberia comer hasta nuevo aviso.

Suerte.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Florence-chan : Con esta explicación, en el reino unido usamos 'nil by mouth'. Aunque esta significa el paciente no puede beber o comer.

staggered diet

it would be helpful to know what condition of the patient this diet is meant to treat: does your text say whether the patient suffers from obesity or from a digestive problem?

A "staggered diet" may be one where at first the patient is fed the same calorie intake as s/he is used to but gradually it is reduced each day... in other words, the patient is not put straight onto a low-calorie diet, if obesity is the problem.

mono diet

Hola futura graduada:

No se si conocés la "dieta diferida".

Se trata de comer sano, pero solo una cosa por día, ej:

1° día SÓLO LÍQUIDOS, caldos desgrasados, compotas (sólo líquido) leche, agua (SIEMPRE) nada de gaseosas.

2° SOLO FRUTAS, las que quieras

3° SOLO QUESOS y yogour

4° SOLO POLLO, hervido, asado (no frito)

5° SOLO VERDURAS HERVIDAS

6° SOLO PESCADO, tambien hervido a la parrilla

7° DÍA DE FIESTA!!! con moderación podés comer lo que quieras.

8° VOLVER A COMENZAR

How many of us are starting today?!
Peer comment(s):
neutral Robert Forstag : As I commented when this material was previously posted (it was subsequently deleted), it seems highly doubtful that such a diet would be recommended for a patient in intensive care [!].

I agree it seems somewhat unusual, but this is a translation of the term and who knows what the patient is being treated for!

Diet programmed for one type of food a day

I have heard of this term only as it relates to a diet where one loses weight by eating one certain type of food only each day. For example, fruit one day, fish another day, grains only on another and so on.
