Gwyneth Paltrow Says She Now Lets Herself Eat “A Little Pasta” as a Treat


Gwyneth Paltrow is loosening her grip on her paleo lifestyle after she became “kind of obsessed” with healthy eating. Speaking on an episode of her goop podcast, the actor-turned-wellness-advocate revealed that she and her husband, Brad Falchuk, are now allowing themselves a taste of the finer things in life—albeit in moderation, of course.

“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,” she said. “There, I said it, a little pasta. After being strict with it for so long.”

Following her departure from Hollywood, Paltrow became a fixture in the wellness space thanks to her lifestyle brand goop. She credits her health to buying food that is “as whole and fresh as possible.” Her dad, meanwhile, passed away from throat cancer at the age of 58, which led Paltrow to double down on her interest in holistic wellness.

“I went into hardcore macrobiotics for a certain time,” she recalled. “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.”

Tuesday’s episode is far from the first time that Paltrow has discussed her paleo lifestyle on the goop podcast. The founder came under fire in 2023 for sharing her daily eating habits, which at the time included drinking bone broth for lunch and “lots of vegetables” for dinner. Paltrow later offer some clarification:

“This is not to say I eat this way all day, every day. And by the way, I eat far more than bone broth and vegetables,” she said. “I eat full meals, and I also have a lot of days of eating whatever I want. You know, eating french fries and whatever. My baseline really has been to try to be healthy and eat foods that will really calm the system down.”
