Gwyneth Paltrow Shares Her Post-Holiday Diet!

Lionel Cironneau/AP

After giving us her personal holiday recipes, Gwyneth Paltrow shares her post-holiday diet secret in her latest GOOP newsletter. Gwyneth admits, “I need to lose a few pounds of holiday excess. Anyone else? I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hardcore one being the Master Cleanse I did last spring. It was not what you would characterize as pretty. Or easy.” Working with her doctor, a detox diet specialist, Gwyneth has created a seven-day elimantion diet that helps detox the body. “As I do not wish to subsist on lemon water in the middle of winter, I asked my doctor, a detox diet specialist, for the guidelines he uses to achieve a good detox that is not as hallucinogenic (in a bad way) as the Master Cleanse,” says Gwyneth. “What it came down to was this: you can detox easily and effectively while you continue to eat as long as you are cutting out the foods and other substances that interfere with the detoxification process.” While cutting out dairy, grains with gluten, meat, shellfish, anything processed (including all soy products), fatty nuts, nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant), condiments, sugar and obviously no alcohol, caffeine or soda, Gwyneth’s diet consist of salads, fruit smoothies, chicken, soups and lots of water.

This is so stupid and dangerous. There is no such thing as detoxification of the body. The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in!

Kim

I think I’d rather just be fat. Yay!

DThomas

Does anyone actually keep this stuff in their homes?? I love to cook, but some of this stuff sounds icky….

Have none of you guys read any of the literature? I am 28 years old and the cases of ADHD and Autism has increased out of control in just three decades! Don’t you think there is a correlation between the processed crap we put in our bodies and these “diseases”?
Furthermore, the WHO released this past year that our generation will be the first to NOT live longer than our parents if we continue to degrade our health! Look at the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes!!!

I think its GREAT to promote healthy eating! What this is showing is that we can fill our bodies with goodness and be healthy doing so. A detox diet is a week for a reason – its not meant to be on forever.

I dare you to try it! It is one of the best feeling things in the world to stop our addictions to processed sugars, fats and carbs!

Gwyneth Paltrow Rings In 2009 with Extreme Dieting

[...] Gwyneth Paltrow Rings In 2009 with Extreme Dieting Gwyneth Paltrow’s most recent issue of her ridiculous GOOP newsletter told us all about her post-holiday weight loss plans, which are just as practical as her initial recommendations of “Read something beautiful” and “Don’t be lazy.” Instead of her usual diet of choice, the Master Cleanse, she’s recommended something almost as painful from her “detox diet specialist”: [...]

umm probably because it’s entertaining.

liz is TOTALLY correct, detox diets are a fraud!

if you want to get as much of the junk out of your body as possible, drink lots of water!! more than 64 ounces; and if you’re overweight you have to drink more (sorry, cant remember the number of ounces right now) per excess pounds above a healthy weight for your height.

and. like liz said—-let your liver and kidneys do their job!

I just had to write that I don’t care what Gwynnie does to detoxify her system. Why does she think people care about all the pretentious things she does? She obviously doesn’t write her blog for her everyday fans. That $130 box of chocolate as a holiday gift sealed the notion for me.

LA Girl

She should stick to what she knows about making boring and bad films; not give out medical advise to the public. What works for one does not work for all. I suggest if you want to cleanse and purify your body of chemical toxins see your doctor or nutritionist and not rely on a Hollywood dim bulb for answers.

It’s kind of like asking Madonna for sexual advise.

leigh

she does not even have an ounce of fat on her body. & her “holiday excess” weight is probably from a second helping of steamed broccoli that she had & now thinks she “fat” because of it. starving yourself for a week is not a “detox”. you will end up unhealthier after you’re done than you were when you started. if you want to lose weight eat more fruit and veggies, go easy on the carbs, & go for a walk, clib some stairs, run around your block, go to the gym, just get up and move around. its not rocket science.
