French term or phrase: écarts alimentaires
Hi,

The patient was hospitalized for decompensated heart failure.
In the history I have "Pas de syndrome infectieux. Pas d'oublie de prise de thérapeutique. Pas d'écarts alimentaires."

Does this mean "no changes to diet"? "Écarts" seems stronger in French.

Thanks

13 Sep 2018 - Cheating within a diet plan involves giving yourself calculated, planned permission to temporarily break strict diet rules. The theory behind this reward-based diet strategy is that by allowing yourself brief periods of indulgence, you'll be more likely to stick to your prescribed diet the majority of the time.

agree  Conor McAuley: At the end of it all I believe yours is the best answer, but with "follow" as an order and instructions instead of guidelines. It works better the positive way around, i.e. "Do this" instead of "Do not do this".

Explanation:
Maybe this register is more in line with the French. Long, but still.

Another option: No non-adherance to doctor's dietary instructions.
More formal language.

Obviously the person has serious heart problems and has been given strict instructions by his/her doctor. This much is obvious.
