If there is a worried, even obsessed Hollywood actress some would claim, with nutrition, that is Gwyneth Paltrow. He has recently been the subject of a strong controversy that has surrounded the publication of his second book of recipes, ‘It’s all good’. In this work he not only provides a recipe book, but also treats the eating habits of his family. Precisely, that has been the trigger for the controversy among several nutritionists since the diet followed by both her and her children is low in calories, dispensing with foods with a high index of refined carbohydrates such as bread, rice or pasta.
The repercussion of these words of Paltrow has transcended since a large number of nutritionists have been critical of it, claiming that the human body needs carbohydrates, especially for the brain to function properly. However, other food professionals have agreed with the actress and have positioned themselves in favor of the arguments put forward in the book, considering these nutrients unnecessary and being able to do without them in a balanced diet.
A recipe book not suitable for all budgets
Gwyneth Paltrow’s new book, ‘It’s all good’, consists of a total of 185 easy-to-prepare cooking recipes. It includes special sections on what diet to follow when you want to lose weight and, on the other hand, what products to ingest when you want to provide a greater degree of energy to the body.
One of the problems that drags the recipe book of the famous actress seems to be that it lies in the unusual of the recommended foods and, above all, in its high cost. Paltrow redounds to the idea of the simplicity of having a slender and fit body, but it does not seem within reach of all pockets when some of the proposed daily menus can reach the figure of $ 300.
This is due to the unusual nature of the products. In ‘It’s all good’, the protagonist of the film saga ‘Iron Man’ recommends the use of expensive and hard-to-find ingredients such as anchovy oil, duck eggs or coarse-grained sea salt.
The actress confesses in her new book that she carried out a profound modification in her diet when suffering from anemia as a result of a too chaotic lifestyle. Given the recommendations of his dietitians to free himself from foods such as alcohol, sugar, coffee, meat or wheat, he decided to share his experience in the form of recipes that followed this nutritional routine.
