Gwyneth's slimdown secret: No diets

Another celebrity who doesn't diet but still sports a super slim physique: Gwyneth Paltrow. She dishes about her ban on all things diet-related on today's Oprah show. Tune in for the whole scoop -- or check out this video for a 40-second snippet.

In a nutshell, here's what the 35-year-old actress says about eating what she wants, when she wants it.

• Paltrow finds it impossible to stick to a diet. It's the idea that you can't have something that makes her want it even more. Ah, deprivation -- a diet derailer for sure.
• Instead of counting calories, this star prefers to work up a sweat. "It's worth it to me to do that extra exercise so I can eat what I want and not think about it," she says.
• To demonstrate her love for food -- and her willingness to eat it -- Paltrow and chef Mario Batali cooked, ate, and drank their way across Spain for their upcoming show, Spain ... On the Road Again. The PBS culinary series debuts September 20 and will go on to follow a tour of 13 cities.

While Paltrow may not follow a strict diet, she's obviously eating right -- I'd guess junk foods are not a staple on her daily menu. Combined with her solid exercise routine, she's found a good balance. You can too.
