The Partitioning Diet (PD) is not a calorie-reduction diet, and it has two simple rules:

1. Remove all grains from your diet
2. Avoid sugar

You can eat anything else… all the meats, all the vegetables, all the fruits, and all the nuts. Flavor your food with salt, pepper and all the herbs and spices you want. Just eat a grain-free, real-food diet. It sounds easy, because it is — weight loss is only successful when dietary habit is easy and sustainable.

You must understand that removing sugar from your diet is simply not enough. Almost all grains and grain-based foods convert into sugar once you eat them, thus elevating blood sugar and stimulating the production of insulin. And insulin, in turn, dumps blood sugar into the cells of the body, particularly fat cells. This process disrupts energy levels, stimulates excess fat deposit, and blocks fatty acid inside fat cells. This metabolic compromise can continue even in a state of calorie deficit (e.g. a reduced-calorie diet). This is the reason you should remove grains and sugar from your diet before even worrying about counting calories.

Before being concerned with how much you eat, you need first to train your body to shuttle consumed calories into organ and muscle cells for nourishment, and to release fat from its storage. This is the first step to regaining metabolic health, which results in the proper regulation of body weight. Normal, healthy body weight is NOT achieved through exercise, a low-calorie diet, or medication.
