Gwyneth Paltrow has ditched her Paleo diet.
The actress revealed Tuesday that she is no longer following the Stone Age diet after getting “obsessed with eating very, very healthily.”
While being “hardcore macrobiotic” was an “interesting chapter” for the 52-year-old, she told “Goop Podcast” listeners that she “might have got a little didactical about” her diet and been “a little strict.”
Paltrow and her husband, Brad Falchuk, “became Paleo a few years ago,” which consists of “lots of fish, vegetables, rice, no dairy [and] no sugar.”
However, the Oscar winner admitted that she is “a little bit sick of it.”
She clarified, “I’m getting back into eating sourdough bread, cheese. There, I said it. A little pasta.”
That being said, Paltrow called her Paleo diet a “good template” for “eating foods that are as whole and fresh as possible” that are “very local and seasonal.”
The “Shakespeare in Love” star added that she is “just so amazed that we had this power in our hands that if we treated ourselves well and hydrated and ate whole foods that we could just feel so much better.
“I still feel that way to this day,” she confirmed.
Paltrow noted that her eating habits “have gotten a little more complicated” in recent years due to “longer-term … inflammation and stuff.”
In 2023, the Golden Globe winner did blame her “high levels of inflammation” for her controversial intermittent fasts, bone broth lunches and paleo dinners, which were dubbed a “starvation diet” by Meghan McCain.
“I have been working to really focus on foods that aren’t inflammatory, [and] it’s been working really well,” she said via Instagram Stories following online backlash.
“This is based on my medical results and extensive testing I’ve done over time,” Paltrow said at the time, insisting her diet wasn’t “meant to be advice for anyone else.”
The Emmy winner clarified that she wasn’t Paleo “all day every day.”
She explained, “I eat full meals. I also have days where I eat whatever I want, French fries or whatever. My baseline has been to try to eat healthy and try to eat foods that really calm the system down.”
