Gwyneth Paltrow has reintroduced carbohydrates and cheese into her diet after adhering to a Paleo diet for several years. She initially adopted the Paleo lifestyle due to concerns about inflammation and health issues, given her genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease. Under the Paleo diet, she avoided foods such as dairy, grains, and processed foods, focusing instead on whole and fresh foods. During a podcast, she expressed fatigue with the strictness of the diet and admitted to enjoying foods like sourdough bread and pasta again. Previously, she had also explored a macrobiotic diet, particularly influenced by her father's cancer diagnosis, as she sought to understand the link between wellness and food.

Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, announced on The Goop Podcast that she has started eating carbs and cheese again after following the Paleo diet for several years.

She and her husband, Brad Falchuk, initially adopted the Paleo diet to address long-term inflammation and health concerns, especially due to her genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease related to APOE3 and APOE4 genes.

The Paleo diet involves eating whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, lean meats, and fish, while eliminating dairy, grains, legumes, sugar, and highly processed foods.

Paltrow admitted to feeling tired of the restrictive Paleo diet and has begun enjoying foods such as sourdough bread, cheese, and pasta once more.

Her interest in diet and wellness began at 26 when her father was diagnosed with throat cancer, leading her to explore macrobiotics in an attempt to help him through diet.

The macrobiotic phase was marked by an obsession with eating very healthily, though her father was not interested in following this dietary change.

Paltrow's exploration of different diets underscores her lifelong interest in the connection between food and health, though she now allows herself more dietary flexibility.

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.
