Gwyneth Paltrow on how she gained 14 pounds amid quarantine: Felt like wine & pasta were getting me through
Gwyneth Paltrow recently revealed how she gained and then lost 14 pounds amidst quarantine during COVID. Scroll down to see what she said.
Hollywood veteran and health freak Gwyneth Paltrow recently revealed how she gained 14 pounds aka roughly 7kgs during the quarantine. During her In Goop Health - The At-Home Summit virtual event the Iron Man actress took part in a Q&A and revealed that she gained weight over the course of "nine months during quarantine" amid the coronavirus pandemic, which began one year ago. "I was absolutely no holds barred," Paltrow said. "I gained 14 pounds and my gut was a mess. But I just didn't want to do anything about it, really. I felt like my wine and my pasta and biscuits and crackers and cheese were getting me through."
Paltrow, 48, turned to Dr. Will Cole, a Pennsylvania-based functional medicine practitioner, for help after feeling "pretty terrible" and after a blood test showed she had increased inflammation in her body. In February, she appeared on his The Art of Being Well podcast and revealed she had gained weight during the quarantine.
The award-winning actress said that she ultimately lost 11 pounds with the help of a bone broth diet and a plan developed by Cole. Paltrow had provided a foreword to his book Intuitive Fasting, a program that she described on Instagram as a "clear, but flexible, four-week plan combines intuitive eating with intermittent fasting and Ketotarian foods." "I remember when I started this intuitive fasting program on January 3. I thought all I could think about was, 'When can I have a cocktail again?'" Paltrow said at the summit on Saturday. "You know me, I don't cheat, I don't break, I'm so disciplined and I was like, I can't do this. Then I started to feel so good after about 60 days in."
The star continued, "And now I'm starting to feel so good that I'm like, yeah, like, I would drink if I could, maybe, but not seven days a week anymore. I don't want to go back to that.”
