Gwyneth's slimdown secret: No diets
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Celebs & Entertainment

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.

Obviously Gwyneth has a good metabolism. It can take quite a bit of exercise to burn off 300-1000 calories! Maybe she's got some good muscle built that burns it while she's sitting too. If only I could get the consistency in my life to exercise at least 3 times a week I'd be doing better! I think opting for something like a calorie shifting diet might work better. I'd just have to do a diet for a few days, lose some weight, and then go back to my old ways :)

I was a couch potato. now i am running 4km a day 5X a week. It just takes willpower to start and then you will be addicted to running, just like you were addicted to junk food in the past.
