8 Imagined Recipes From Gwyneth Paltrow’s New Diet Cookbook, It’s All Good

8 Imagined Recipes From Gwyneth Paltrow's New Diet Cookbook, It's All Good

Last week, we learned some very interesting things about It’s All Good, the new “elimination diet” cookbook from GOOP leader Gwyneth Paltrow. Namely, we learned that it eliminates food.

Here’s a quick list of ingredients you won’t be using when cooking like Gwyneth Paltrow: coffee, alcohol, dairy, chicken eggs (more exclusive eggs are fine), sugar, shellfish, deepwater fish, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, corn, wheat, meat, soy and all processed foods. If this seems a bit draconian (or an obvious symptom of “laughable Hollywood neuroticism“)–you’re right. But nobody said it was easy being Gwyneth Paltrow. Well, maybe they did.

Anyway, the cookbook has been backordered everywhere and Paltrow’s publisher anticipates a big success, which is why we’re extremely pleased to bring you these eight healthful and delicious recipes from It’s All Good–exclusively on The Gloss. Enjoy! More »

Things Gwyneth Paltrow Eats

Actress, lifestyle expert and GOOP person Gwyneth Paltrow is currently on promotional detail for her new “elimination diet” cookbook, It’s All Good, which features recipes that feature very little. In fact, it’s kind of a 180 from her domestic goddess wish fulfillment debut, My Father’s Daughter, a book of three-car-garage-homestyle recipes like chicken and dumplings or stuffed avocados (well, stuffed with veganaise).

Personal Theories On Why People Love The Paleo Diet

Personal Theories On Why People Love The Paleo Diet

Have you been following the Paleo diet’s massive success? It’s charted over on Buzzfeed, and it has apparently crushed diets like “gluten free” or “atkins” or “being vegan which I know is not really a diet, I know that” in popularity. The only thing that remains more popular is cupcakes. The diet dictates that you should eat the food eaten by our cavemen ancestors. Their website states:

These foods include fresh meats (preferably grass-produced or free-ranging beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and game meat, if you can get it), fish, seafood, fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and healthful oils (olive, coconut, avocado, macadamia, walnut and flaxseed). Dairy products, cereal grains, legumes, refined sugars and processed foods were not part of our ancestral menu.

I’ve been speculating on why this is so appealing to people, and this is what I’ve got.

About Face: What Are The Best Foods For Good Skin? (And Does Eating Well Make A Difference?)

I got to spend my teen years blessedly free of breakouts. Through college, I had a blemish every now and again. Right around graduation, maybe a little before, I noticed an uptick in spots. Then, I moved to New York City, current reigning champ of America’s dirtiest metropolises. It’s the only city I’ve ever lived where you can step over a puddle of urine only to accidentally step on a rat–pray it’s not one of the rabies kinds.

Needless to say, my skin worsened. More »

Gwyneth Paltrow Promotes Her New Diet Book, Claims It Changed Her Marriage & Gets Photoshopped In Self

She was inspired to write the cookbook when Dame Margaret Smith, William Joel and Mario Batali were over for a quiet dinner party and Paltrow was a little loaded from the ’78 Montrachet and accidentally stuffed the poulet de bressewith caviar instead of arranging it on the caviar plate where it belonged HA! HA!

And that’s when she realized she should eat more brown rice and less everything else. More »

What Red Wine Can Do

What Red Wine Can Do

Red wine can definitely fight the effects of aging.

Red wine will clear up your acne, but it will replace the acne with migraines.

Red wine will enable you to “have it all” but it will give your children autism. If your children already have autism, it will give them a peanut allergy. If your children already have a peanut allergy, it will turn them into human-sized dragonflies.

Red wine is the winning taste in the 2013 Do Us a Flavor Lay’s Potato Chip flavor contest. More »
