In short, it seems that actress Gwyneth Paltrow has had a food, fashion and trend site since 2008, a sort of stylish blog that goes by the name of Goop : not that I’ve ever been a Paltrow fanatic, quite the contrary. But from a woman who instead of subscribing to disposable diets makes her diets, writes recipe books that are “free” of anything since she is allergic to gluten and lactose, tries different types of sustainable, green and full of weird foods and does a daily fitness session we all have to learn.
I know you’re thinking: Gwyneth Paltrow is a star, she has plenty of free time to kick around and keep fit, money to hire an Indian cook to cook her curry with red basil leaves, pancakes with hemp flour and goji berries or who knows what other antioxidant devilry that gives her a magnificent complexion. We are not stars , we smear our T-shirts with sandwich crumbs that we devour at our desk, we don’t have time for the gym, at dinner we have the palates of a family to satisfy.
Plus, every diet I’ve read about Gwyneth Paltrow is pretty much unsustainable. Although living in Rome, you will admit not exactly a village of a thousand inhabitants, I would never be able to find half of the ingredients that are in its dishes. However, never let it be said that I can’t get on a diet similar to the one that Gwyneth does every year from January onwards, the weekly detox diet that you find here in the original version and which has already been adapted by an Irish journalist, who lost a kilo in seven days.
What if you try the impossible, combine the detox diet of Gwyneth Paltrow with the pantry of the housewife from Voghera
