Gwyneth Paltrow Says She's Eating Carbs & Cheese Again After Cutting Out of Diet for Years
Gwyneth Paltrow is back to eating carbs and cheese.
The 52-year-old Goop mogul confirmed she reintroduced carbs and cheese into her diet after a years-long run eating Paleo on the latest episode of The Goop Podcast.
During the episode, Gwyneth named “longer-term inflammation and health stuff” as the reason she and her husband, Brad Falchuk, “became Paleo a few years ago.”
She also shared that she has genes APOE3 and APOE4, increasing her risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, and “I have to be really careful not to have inflammation in my brain.”

Under the Paleo diet, meant to mimic the food patterns of hunters and gatherers during the Paleolithic era, adherents eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, lean meats and fish, cutting out dairy products, sugar, grains, legumes and highly processed foods, per CNN.
“I’m a little sick of it if I’m honest,” she confessed.
“I’m getting back into eating some sourdough bread and some cheese. There, I said it. A little pasta. After being strict with it for so long.”
She maintained that “it’s a good, sort of, template, right? Eating foods that are kind of as whole and fresh as possible.”
The Paleo diet is not the first one Gwyneth shared that she tried.
She told podcast listeners that her father was diagnosed with throat cancer when she was around the age of 26, and it was “at that time that I started wondering, really through trying to see if there was anything we could do to help my father, if there was any kind of intersection between wellness and food.”
“I went into hardcore macrobiotics for a certain time,” she said. “That was an interesting chapter, where I got kind of obsessed with eating very, very healthily. I think that was – I was really trying to heal my dad by proxy and he just didn’t really want anything to do with it.”
She also responded to feud rumors.
