You may be wondering just what does the Four Hour Body Slow Carb Diet look like in Spanish? The answer: A bit more exotic, with a good tan.
Just make sure to mention no tortillas!
Many of you who have read my previous posts may know that I have been using this diet as an outline for my patients. So far I have had some really great results (on a whole). What you may not know is that over 1/2 of my patients are Spanish speaking.
The Slow Carb Diet as a template for initiating and offering a valid treatment plan to jump-start a healthy lifestyle has really been a game changer. The diet (rooted in the 80/20 principle) has allowed me to simplify often complex ideas into 5 very black and white (albeit some slightly grey) rules. This increases compliance rates, decreases confusion and gives people something they can walk away with that really works. The Pareto Principle in action!
In an effort to bring this to the Spanish speaking community and better serve my patients I will be creating several 4 Hour Body guides in Spanish that I hope will serve this purpose.
Here is the first. Please share if you find this useful, and if you are fluent in Spanish (I am not) please feel free to send me any corrections or recommendations that you may have to make this better.

Just a note, if anyone downloaded this in the last 30 days (it is June 1, 2011) I am sorry for the error under “Regla 4″. I had the rule written wrong. I just made the correction, realized this when I printed these out from the site as patient handouts!
is the book translated to spanish?
thankyou
Sorry mate, the guide is quite full of grammatical and vocab nonsense. One can manage a way to understanding but it doesn’t look good at all. Find a friend or pay someone who actually speaks fluent spanish, that’s my piece of advise, especially if you give this guide to people who pay for your services.
Thanks Antonio, I had my Medical Assistant re-write this (she is supposedly fluent in Spanish) but as I guess you are pointing out, the word fluent is truly subjective. Fascinatingly the patients whom I have given this too have never said anything and it is probably because they are too nice. Or they are just so sad that the first line mentions no Tortillas. I will see if I can make some revisions for version 2.0. Thank you for filling me in. My Spanish skills especially when it comes to writing are rudimentary at best. Of course this may also be true when it comes to written English as well.

Don’t worry Stephen. The guide is ok and is much appreciated. Antonio is a typical Spanish complainer. Always complaining and never doing nothing. He complains about the translation, and even ordering you to pay someone to translate. No offering any help. I don’t know how someone could be more cheeky. Is the Spanish culture, only complains. Never doing nothing. Unhappy people.
Thanks for the guide!!!!!
Ricardo, habla por ti. Yo soy español y no conozco a nadie cuya cultura sea esa. No vayas echando porquería encima de la imagen de los españoles. Por cierto, tu tampoco has ofrecido ayuda, cosa que yo si he hecho en mi comentario y soy español. Y tampoco está de más que alguien como Antonio pida una buena traducción cuando a los españoles se nos exige hablar un inglés perfecto sin que sea nuestra lengua.
Ricardo, spanish culture is to complain? I supose you are talking about you. I am spanish and i don´t have this culture that you are talking about. And my family and friends are all spanish and don´t have that culture.
Stephen, the text is ok. It has mistakes, but it is the same that us, the spanish people speaking english.
If it is not your mother lenguage, it is impossible to do it perfect. Everyone who talk spansih can understand the text (for example, i know you understand my bad english). But, “las siguientes comidas usted NO debe comer” should be “No debe comer usted las siguientes comidas” or “las siguientes comidas NO debe usted comerlas”
Please, when can we buy the book in spanish?
Thanks
Yo queria tambien el libro en español, para mi esposa. El unico que he encontrado es La Solucion Paleolitica.
Stephen, fantastic job in trying to get some info out to the hispanic community. Let me know if you need help with stuff. My Spanish isn’t as good as a Spaniard, but I speak well enough to be considered an honorary Paraguayan.

Nuestros pacientes no están familiarizados con una dieta baja en carbohidratos, es muy importante debido a que muchos sufren de diabetes. Esta dieta es esencial para controlar la epidemia de diabetes.
Nuestra comunidad en su mayoría hispana ha adoptado esta dieta, pero representa un cambio cultural grande
Estoy muy feliz de saber que usted habla español, tal vez usted y su esposa pueda revisar las guías para los pacientes la dieta baja en carbohidratos que he estado trabajando? Muchos de los hablantes nativos de español criticó la hoja de arriba, pero lo que es un pobre gringo que hacer?
P.S: Esto me tomó una hora para escribir
Hi Stephen,
I am from Spain and I am happy to help you in the translation.
I am sure lots of people would like to read it in Spanish.
P.S. One of my friends lost 22 kg following the book!
Thank you so much Irene, I really appreciate this offer. If you want to read through the above cheat sheet and have ideas (or a better cheat sheet) I would love to publish it here. I will be putting together a 4 Hour Body food matrix as well and could probably use your input on this as well….
Whereabouts are you in Spain? I traveled there about 2 years ago… absolutely amazing!
Hi Stephen!
I¨m from Colombia and I just starded my diet a few weeks ago… It´s amazing how it works and after I tried a lot of other diets and almost was just eating chicken and vegetables I´m happy i´m slowly loosing a few pound. What should I aspect? loosing a pound per week?? or more.. I usually ate only chichen, meet and vegetables, my weight was perfect but when I stopped for a couple of days my weight jumped high again. That´s why I started with this diet. What can I do to make it work a little bit faster???
