Gwyneth Paltrow back on carbs after being ‘obsessed with health' with paleo diet
Paltrow said that Goop began with her working in cities 'driven by food', and she got into 'wellness and food' because of her father's throat cancer.
She told her Goop podcast: 'I went into hardcore macrobiotic for a certain time, that was an interesting chapter where I got obsessed with eating very, very healthily.'
Paltrow added: 'I really deepened my connection with food and the whole philosophy around macrobiotics, which is essentially just how they eat in the mountains of Japan, so very local, very seasonal.
'Lots of fish, vegetables, rice, no dairy, no sugar, etc.
'I think that period of time I might have got a little didactic about it, I felt so good, I wanted to share that with my dad, my friends and family.
'I was 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 was sort of intoxicated by that idea and I still feel that way to this day.

'And things have gotten a little more complicated with me and longer term with inflammation and health stuff.'
She added: 'It's the reason that Brad and I became paleo a few years ago now, although I'm a little bit sick of it, if I'm honest.
'I'm getting back into eating sourdough bread, and some cheese – there, I said it. A little pasta after being strict with it for so long.
'But again I think it's a good template, right? Eating foods that are as whole and fresh as possible. I don't think there is any doctor or nutritionist that would refute that, it's a good starting point.'
Paltrow – known for the Iron Man franchise, Shallow Hal and Sliding Doors – won an Academy Award in the 1990s for period drama Shakespeare In Love.
She reportedly met Falchuk on the set of Glee and they married in 2018.
Paltrow was previously married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, until they announced they had 'consciously uncoupled' in March 2014.

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson split 'for final time' after eight year relationship
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and his fiancée actress Dakota Johnson have reportedly gone their separate ways. Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have reportedly split for the 'final time' after eight years together. Insiders have claimed that the pair, who first started dating in 2017 and secretly got engaged in 2020, have gone their separate ways for good. One source has alleged that "it feels final this time" for the Fifty Shades of Grey star, 35, and the Coldplay singer, 48. The former fiancées were last seen together two weeks ago in Malibu, back in May. Back in August, the couple, who have a 13-year age gap were hit by split rumours, the Mirror reports. A source said at the time: "They'll always have love for each other but they've both come to the conclusion the relationship cannot be sustained long-term." A spokesperson however has denied the split, stating: "They are happily together." Dakota has previously referred to Chris' two children with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow as her "stepchildren". The actress previously said: "I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart. How do I feel about motherhood? "I'm so open to that. I've gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything life has to offer. "And especially being a woman, I'm like: 'What a magical f*****g thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience. "If that's meant to happen for me, I'm totally down for it. We're not here for very long, so if I'm meant to be a mother, bring it on." Chris and Gwyneth share their two kids Apple, 19, and Moses, 17. The former husband and wife have stayed good friends despite divorcing in 2016 and the Iron Man actress has also previously shown her support for Chris and Dakota's relationship. Gwyneth, 52, said: "I love her. I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her. "I always start to think of the ampersand sign-what else can you bring in, instead of being resistant to or being made insecure by? There's so much juice in leaning in to something like that." The Materialists star recently discussed her new film, which also stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, in an interview. While she didn't directly discuss her own relationship with Chris, she did make a comment about love and connection. She said: "For a long time we've all been so quick to judge relationships or how they should happen, how they should exist in the world. "When people should get married. Divorce is bad. All these things that actually, if you think about it, why is divorce bad? "Why do people have to get married or at a certain age or only once? Why? It doesn't matter".

Rod Stewart facing eye-watering cost of Glastonbury set as his children make sacrifice for show
Sir Rod Stewart is set to play the coveted Legends Slot at Glastonbury in just a few weeks time and is planning on pulling out all the stops for what is likely to be his final major festival performance. Glastonbury musical festival goers are set to witness a historic moment during its Sunday evening Legends Slot. In previous years, music icons including Lionel Richie, Kylie Minogue and Dolly Parton have all entertained audiences in the coveted closing spot but this summer, it will be Sir Rod Stewart who graces the Pyramid Stage. However, this is not the 80-years-old's first time at Glastonbury, having played the festival back in 2002 with Coldplay and Stereophonics. However, the singer's upcoming summer gig promises to be an extraordinary show. Sir Rod is also said to be planning a raucous weekend with his band and pals ahead of the landmark performance. Not all of his music buddies will be there though as the Maggie May star confessed that he doesn't see old pals like Ronnie Wood or Sir Elton John as often anymore because "they don't drink and I still do. They stay away from me... bad influence!" However, Rod, who has shifted some 200 million records over his six-decade long career, will need to start looking after his own health too, after he recently had to cancel a Las Vegas show due to a nasty throat infection, Glasgow Live reports. While he has no plans to officially retire, the rock icon announced that his 2025 European and North American shows would mark the end of his "large-scale world tours," with future performances set to take place at smaller venues. Rod will indeed be going out with a bang at Glastonbury as he revealed to BBC'S Sidetracked with Annie and Nick that he's splashing out almost £300,000 on his Sunday show. Despite being the festival's headliner, Sir Rod said he doesn't receive a guest list and that three of his eight kids will be buying their own tickets. The singer said he offered to cover the price of his family's tickets himself but his children opted to pay their own way to witness their father's final major festival performance. While Sir Rod's payment for the event remains unknown, Glastonbury headliners typically earn no more than £250,000, a figure confirmed by organiser Emily Eavis who noted that acts receive less than 10% of what they could command elsewhere. A significant amount of the costs will cover transporting his band and gear from California, with the ensemble set to reside in a Bath hotel for the duration of the festival. Sir Rod expressed his anticipation for an unforgettable weekend celebrating with his bandmates. In addition to his regular band, which includes guitarist Don Kirkpatrick, long-time bassist Conrad Kirsch and violinist J'anna Jacoby, Sir Rod has revealed plans to reunite with former Faces bandmate and current Rolling Stone, Ronnie Wood. He also plans to have a small orchestra on stage with him for his ballads, such as Tonight's the Night and I Don't Want to Talk About It. The singer has admitted it will be tough to fit in all of his classic hits during the 75-minute slow. To make the most of his time on stage, he plans to keep his between-song chatter to a minimum, although admits he will pause for the occasional sip of Bacardi and Coke. He said: "It's the only thing I drink and I only drink it when I do gigs. " The 80-year-old also has no plans to stop recording anytime soon with a new album featuring Rod and former Faces bandmates Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones due to be released in 2026. Speaking about the new album with music Craig McLean, Sir Rod said that there are "15 tracks that are extremely worthy, some old, some new."

'Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore. 'Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.'
