Gwenyth Paltrow 'sick' of Paleo diet
The 52-year-old actress and her TV producer husband Brad Falchuk became Paleo - following a plan that only includes foods that were available during the Old Stone Age - "a few years ago", but she is now fed up of having "coffee [for breakfast], bone broth for lunch and vegetables for dinner" so she is ditching the restrictive diet for "sourdough bread, cheese [and] a little pasta".
She is quoted by the Daily Mail newspaper's Eden Confidential column as saying: "Brad and I became Paleo a few years ago now, although I'm a little bit sick of it, if I'm honest.
"I'm getting back into eating sourdough bread, cheese - there I said it. A little pasta after being strict with it for so long."
The 'Iron Man' star previously revealed she also uses intermittent fasting during an appearance on 'The Art of Being Well' podcast in 2023.
She explained: "I eat dinner early in the evening. I do a nice intermittent fast. I usually eat something at about 12. In the morning, I'll have something that won't spike my blood sugar, so I have coffee. But I really like soup for lunch. I have bone broth for lunch a lot of the days."
Gwyneth added she does "one hour of movement" each day before she sitting in a sauna and then eating vegetables for dinner.
Admitting the diet had "worked" for her, she added: "It's really just what has worked for me, and it's been very powerful and very positive.
"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.
"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 has been to try to be healthy and eat foods that will really calm the system down."
Gwyneth previously insisted she was attempting to use her diet to calm her "very high levels of inflammation" which she believed were linked to long COVID.
During a fan Q+A on her Instagram Stories, Gwyneth said: "I've been working with Dr. Cole {Dr. Will Cole} to really focus on foods that aren't inflammatory.
"So, lots of cooked vegetables, all kinds of protein, healthy carbs to really lower inflammation. It's been working really well."

Erin Patterson: Dr Chris Webster reveals why he faces losing his job after speaking out about mushroom killer
The doctor who alerted police to Erin Patterson, providing important testimony in court, now fears he may lose his job. Dr Chris Webster, a key medical witness in the 11-week trial, testified that he first encountered Patterson at Leongatha Hospital on the morning of July 31, 2023, just two days after she served a beef Wellington meal laced with deadly death cap mushrooms to four family members. Dr Webster called triple zero after Patterson abruptly discharged herself within five minutes of arriving at the hospital, despite medical advice to stay and receive treatment. At the time, Patterson's former in-laws, Don and Gail Patterson, were in critical condition at Dandenong Hospital. Ian and Heather Wilkinson were receiving treatment at Leongatha Hospital after also consuming the meal. Speaking to the Herald Sun , Dr Webster said he became suspicious when Patterson claimed she had purchased the mushrooms from Woolworths. 'If she said she picked them, it would have been a very different mindset for me because there would have been an instant assumption it was all a tragic accident,' he said. 'But once she said that answer, my thoughts were, 'holy f**king shit, you f**king did it, you crazy bitch, you poisoned them all'. 'The turning point for me was that moment.' Dr Webster said Patterson was a 'disturbed sociopathic nut bag'. 'She wasn't freaking out about the safety of her children,' he said. 'Looking into her eyes, I thought 'I don't know what planet you're on but you're not on earth.' Dr Webster, who practices in the Gippsland region of Victoria, now faces the prospect of losing his job amid backlash over his comments. The clinic where he works has received formal complaints, including accusations of misogyny, which could be escalated to the medical board for investigation. 'I'm not that at all, that's not me,' Dr Webster told the Daily Mail . 'I stand by what I've done, this is very important. I'm happy to do all the media but it's become all too much now and I have engaged a lawyer and now gagged from any future media (in the short term). 'It's one thing copping these accusations on social media and Instagram but now it's formal complaints. I need to get home and back to work and sort this out, and once things are sorted I will speak again. 'One of the complaints accused me of talking about a 'patient of mine', they referred to Patterson as a 'patient of mine', not as a convicted killer,' he said. Dr Webster says he plans to return to work next week and is eager to resume his duties as a rural doctor. However, he remains concerned that if the complaints are upheld, the medical board could launch an investigation. According to Dr Webster, any adverse finding could result in suspension or even disqualification, depending on the severity of the outcome.

Princess Kate: The true extent of the royal's cancer battle revealed, Catherine's return to duties delayed
Kate Middleton's cancer battle has sent her 'to hell and back'. But the Princess of Wales's slow and careful return to the public eye is no accident; it's part of a deliberate effort to rebuild both her health and her sense of balance, according to one insider who understands the full extent of her battle. At 43, Princess Kate is said to be in remission following an intense, months-long battle with cancer. Friends and palace insiders say her recovery is far from over. 'She is fortunate to even be speaking of recovery,' said a source, adding, 'as anyone who has been through that experience will tell you, you can feel very unwell for a long time afterwards. It can take years (to recover)'. The princess was seriously unwell in the lead-up to her planned abdominal surgery in January 2024, which later led to the discovery of her illness. During treatment, she underwent chemotherapy at the Royal Marsden Hospital and a source has now revealed that the Princess of Wales had a port inserted under her skin to deliver the medication directly to a vein near her heart. Like many patients, she became emotionally 'attached' to the device, an invisible but constant reminder of the high-stakes treatment she was enduring, the Daily Mail reported. 'It offers no cast-iron guarantee of success, even if you are a royal.' While the public has seen a glowing Princess at several recent events such as Trooping the Colour and the Order of the Garter ceremony, palace aides are quietly reminding onlookers that her full return is a 'work in progress.' Her recent last-minute withdrawal from Royal Ascot, which she announced just minutes after her name appeared on the official carriage list, was a stark reminder that she is still pacing her return. Kensington Palace said the carriage list was released in error and only confirmed that the princess was 'disappointed' not to attend and 'has to find the right balance as she fully returns to public-facing duties.' Behind the scenes, sources say that balance is everything. 'She wants to find the right balance and work with a greater degree of flexibility than before,' one insider said. 'This is a woman who plays a very important role in the monarchy... but in order for her to do it, both now and in the future, she needs to get this right.' The past year has also brought mental clarity. 'She knows more than ever what is important to her — and that she won't be rushed on her journey back to full health,' a friend said. Looking ahead, Princess Kate is expected to make a few key appearances this summer, including her role as patron at Wimbledon and at Windsor Castle on July 8 for a French state visit, the outlet reports. Whether she will attend the state banquet remains unclear. Following those engagements, she and Prince William will retreat to Anmer Hall in Norfolk with their children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — for a summer of cycling, sailing, and time away from the public gaze. They will later travel to Balmoral to join the King and Queen for the traditional royal summer in Scotland. 'She's quite strict now at working out what she needs to be at and what she doesn't,' one source said. There are also family decisions ahead, including the schooling of Prince George and Princess Charlotte. One long-standing expectation is that Prince George will follow Prince William to Eton, and Princess Charlotte to Marlborough, Princess Kate's alma mater. As for travel, a foreign tour this year is said to be 'not expected,' though the door hasn't been closed entirely. A UK-based program of royal visits is more likely, with the princess reportedly keen to do more regional engagements after her low-key trip to the Inner Hebrides in April. Even when she is not seen publicly, royal insiders say that she remains highly engaged behind the scenes with her staff and her lifelong commitment to early childhood development. Comparisons to the King's more visible schedule have emerged in recent months, with some observers noting that Charles, also battling cancer, has maintained a full calendar. But those close to both royals caution against making direct comparisons. 'Every patient is different... and people have no way of absolutely knowing what is going on behind the scenes.'
