Gwyneth Paltrow is dishing out some food-related revelations — and some fans might find it hard to swallow.
On a Tuesday episode of “The Goop” podcast, the actor opened up about an “aspect of her life that’s really meaningful” to her — and that was food. The famously health-conscious lifestyle influencer now admits that she’s pivoting back to the comforting embrace of carbs and cheese.
After experimenting with what she called “hardcore macrobiotics,” she became “obsessed with eating very, very healthily,” she said on her podcast. She added that she started following the paleo diet “a few years ago,” but that level of nutritional rigor apparently comes with an expiration date of sorts.
“I’m a little sick of it, if I’m honest, and getting back into eating some sourdough bread and some cheese,” she revealed. “There, I said it, a little pasta.”

Still, Paltrow called the diet a “good template” for living healthily, even if she’s not following it to the letter.
Users of X, formerly Twitter, had a lot of cheesy jokes about the dramatic shift.

In 2023, Paltrow addressed criticism over her dietary habits, explaining that they were partially rooted in managing her health.
“I have long COVID, and the way it manifests for me is very high levels of inflammation over time,” she said, adding that she had been working to “really focus on foods that aren’t inflammatory.”
