Gwyneth Paltrow says she stopped following a strict paleo diet and is eating bread, cheese, and pasta again
Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, is ditching her strict paleo diet.
On the Tuesday episode of her " Goop" podcast, Paltrow spoke about how her relationship with food has changed over the years.
"I went into hardcore macrobiotics for a certain time. That was an interesting chapter where I got kind of obsessed with eating very, very healthily," Paltrow said.
Part of it was because of her dad's health, she said: "I think that I was really trying to heal my dad by proxy, and he just didn't really want anything to do with it." Her father died in 2002 after battling throat cancer.
The Goop founder started thinking more critically about the types of food she was putting into her body.
"But the beauty of it, for me, was that I really deepened my connection with food and this whole philosophy around macrobiotics, which is essentially just how they eat in the mountains of Japan," Paltrow said. "So, very local, very seasonal, lots of fish and vegetables, rice, no dairy, no sugar, et cetera."
Although the " Shakespeare in Love" star says that she "might have gotten a little didactic about it," all she wanted to do was share her eating philosophy with everyone she knew.
"I think I was just so amazed that, you know, we had this power in our hands that if we treated ourselves well, hydrated, and ate whole foods, we could just feel so much better," Paltrow said.
She added that she was "intoxicated" by that idea, and still feels the same to this day.
"But it's the reason Brad and I became paleo a few years ago now, although I'm a little sick of it, if I'm honest, and getting back into eating some sourdough bread and some cheese," Paltrow said. "There, I said it. A little pasta, after being strict with it for so long."
"But again, I think it's a good sort of template, right? Eating foods that are kind of as whole and fresh as possible," she added.
A paleo diet is supposed to be based on the way ancient human ancestors ate and includes foods such as lean meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It emphasizes eating unprocessed foods, and grains and dairy are off limits.
Paltrow's comments come months after her company, Goop, told Women's Wear Daily that it was restructuring.
The company was moving away from wellness, home, and travel and focusing on beauty, fashion, and food instead. It will double down on its Goop Beauty and Good Clean Goop beauty brands, its G. Label clothing line, and Goop Kitchen.
Paltrow has previously detailed her strict diet and wellness routine during an interview for "The Art of Being Well" podcast in 2023.
Her restrictive diet, which drew widespread criticism from internet users and dietitians, included coffee in the mornings, bone broth for lunch, and a paleo diet for dinner.
A representative for Paltrow did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.

On Monday, June 16, the Coldplay singer, 48, was photographed walking in New York City with his 19-year-old son, Moses, two weeks after news of Martin's split from Dakota Johnson, 35, went public. The "Viva La Vida" singer, 48, wore navy pants and a matching jacket, accessorizing with sunglasses and a necklace. His teenage son looked like the spitting image of Martin as he wore a tan sweater, gray slacks and brown boots. Moses also wore sunglasses and had his hair long when the two were photographed.

On June 4, PEOPLE confirmed that Martin and Johnson had broken up, ending their nearly eight-year, on-and-off relationship. "It feels final this time," one source said of the split. Reps for the stars did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment. The Materialists actress, 35, and the musician, who were first romantically linked in 2017, were photographed together two weeks ago when they stepped out in Malibu together on May 16.

In March 2024, sources told PEOPLE that Johnson and Martin had actually been engaged for 'years' after first sparking engagement rumors in 2020, though they were "in no rush to get married" at the time.

Chris Martin's Confirmed Rumored Relationships Over the Years
The frontman of Coldplay, Chris Martin, has been with quite a few of the beautiful leading ladies in Hollywood. Most famously, he was married to Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow for well over a decade, and was engaged to beloved actress Dakota Johnson. And as many of you know, he and Johnson sadly broke up after eight years together. A source spoke to The Sun that they broke up for two reasons, 'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.' But did you know he dated another Oscar-winning actress? Or that he's been linked to quite a few other A-listers? So we put on our detective hats and did some digging, and oh boy, there are a lot of rumors. Not only are we going into all the confirmed relationships Martin has been in, but the rumored ones he's been in (and if they're true or not!) Below, check out Chris Martin's entire dating history! More from SheKnows Chris Martin Just Wore a Telling Accessory Amid First Outing Since Dakota Johnson Split Best of SheKnows 17 Movies & TV Shows That Educate About the History of American Slavery 13 Times Meghan Markle Reminded Us So Much of Princess Diana 24 Times Kate Middleton Perfectly Recreated Princess Diana's Iconic Fashion Before he made it big, Martin dated Lily Sobhani, a British live‑events producer, around the time of Coldplay's debut album Parachutes. Not much else is known about their romance, except for the fact that they dated in the early 2000s. Okay, so back in 2000, it was rumored that collaborators Natalia Imbruglia and Chris Martin dated, and some reports claimed it was 2002. Either way, they allegedly dated pre-Paltrow days, but neither has confirmed or denied the romance. Women's Day claimed that Martin was thinking about her a lot, according to sources who alleged this in 2014. And you know the song 'Shiver' from Coldplay? It was rumored to be about her, but Martin denied that. So put that rumor to rest! Gwyneth Paltrow and Martin were together from 2003 to 2016, and during that time, they welcomed two children named Apple, born in 2004, and Moses, born in 2006. But let's rewind a bit! They first reportedly met backstage at a Coldplay concert in 2002, but in 2003, they confirmed in December that they were expecting and got hitched. They eloped in a secret ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif, and were happily married for over a decade. Paltrow and Martin announced their separation in 2014, when Paltrow uploaded a post on the Goop website titled 'Conscious Uncoupling.' 'It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been,' she said. 'We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.' But they are super-close to this day, despite the divorce, which was finalized in 2016. You probably remember those rumors of Kate Bosworth and Martin allegedly having an affair in 2009. But y'all, those were totally rumors! Martin's reps even denied it via Fox News. The Alexa Chung rumors started over a late-night milkshake at Glastonbury in 2013. Eyewitnesses and insiders alleged that it was the beginning of a romance, but a spokesperson for Martin denied the claims. 'They are definitely not dating,' they told The Metro via The Independent. Kylie Minogue and Martin were at the center of dating rumors in 2015, but no dating here! They're actually the best of buddies! 'I was a Coldplay fan from, I mean Millennium. I may have worn out the CD,' Minogue said to UsWeekly, talking about the letter he sent her. 'I was just so, there's a mutual respect and admiration and friendship and love there.' Did you know that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin dated? Because we definitely forgot about this. They reportedly started dating around June 2014 after she went to a Coldplay performance in London. Per People, they split for the first time three months after they were first linked together. However, they got back together soon after, but they broke up for good in Aug 2015. Sources claimed to People, 'He's crazy about Jen but wants to keep his own schedule and be able to do what he wants when he wants to do it.' And sources also claimed Lawrence got 'tired of Chris being so noncommittal.' In 2015, Martin and Annabelle Wallis started dating after they met through mutual friends. 'He has moved on quickly and has been seeing Annabelle Wallis for about a month,' an insider told Us Weekly about the relationship between the singer and the 'Peaky Blinders' actor. 'He visited her while she was filming in Vancouver and really likes her.' They broke up in 2017 due to their crazy scheduling. However, they got back together two months after that in Aug. 'Their crazy work schedules make it difficult to see each other sometimes and they drifted apart. But recently they have been making more of an effort and have decided to give things another shot,' an insider said to The Sun. 'They have a lot of history together and don't want to throw everything away. There are just a few more months left on Coldplay's tour and then they will be able to spend more time together and work around Annabelle's schedule.' But they broke up sometime between then and Oct 2017 when he was spotted with Dakota Johnson. Dakota Johnson and Martin started dating in 2017 after being set up by mutual friends. They didn't confirm their relationship until a year later, and they moved in together in 2021. Specifically, they moved into Martin's Malibu mansion in 2021. A year later, he sold it and moved to another home in Malibu. Fun fact: Johnson told SheKnows that her Daddio co-star Sean Penn is one of their celebrity neighbours. In 2018, soon after their romance became public, Harper's Bazaar reported that the two were seen with matching infinity symbol tattoos, with Johnson's on her elbow and Martin's on the inside of his arm. There was a rumor that they briefly broke up in the summer of 2019, but quickly reconciled. While we don't know the exact time they got engaged, many sources claim it was years ago, but the two weren't too eager to set a date. They were plagued with breakup rumors again inthe summer of 2024, as we said previously. Sadly, Martin and Johnson called it quits for good in June 2025. A source spoke to The Sun about what led to their breakup, saying, 'They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem and she'd expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life but they discussed it.'

Italian Movie Stars Were the Inspiration For Max Mara's Latest Show
Picture the costumes from iconic movies like La Dolce Vita, Roman Holiday, Napoli Milionaria, or Riso Amaro. That quintessentially effortless style was everywhere in Italian cinema throughout the '50s and '60s, and Max Mara creative director Ian Griffiths set out to capture the same tailored nonchalance for resort 2026. Last night, following a welcome dinner at La Bersagliera in Naples, the brand took to the baroque royal residences just north of the city, Reggia di Caserta, to stage its runway show. And aptly, given the theme, the front row was filled with notable Hollywood guests, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Joey King, Alexa Chung, and Sharon Stone. The scene was one of classic Italian luxury: minimalist yet expressive, with sharply cut headwear that hid the eyes, swingy suits, and contrasting textures. The Max Mara woman was exactly the modern, dandy-ish type that Achille Maramotti was determined to dress upon founding the brand in 1951. True to house aesthetics, the color palette was one of refinement, consisting of easy neutrals, sleek blacks, blush pinks, and a punctuating look of periwinkle and navy blue. The monochromatic shades allowed the details of the clothing to shine through. Shawls and knits were fastened across the waist with subtle jeweled belts, necklines took on a geometric attitude with sharply cut upturned lapels and off-the-shoulder tops, while over-the-knee boots gave micro shorts an editorial flair. And a collaboration with E. Marinella, the Naples tiemaker, on printed silk pieces added some menswear-inspired cred. The ensembles were completed by four new versions of the Whitney bag, including a beachy woven raffia style with contrasting leather trim. The new bag and updated silk scarves from the show are part of Max Mara's see-now buy-now offering, and are available online at Alexandra Hildreth is the Fashion News Editor at ELLE. She is fascinated by style trends, industry news, shake-ups, and The Real Housewives. Previously, she attended the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Following graduation, she moved back to New York City and worked as a freelance journalist and producer.
