Gwyneth Paltrow's book on healthy eating: pros and cons

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has published her first book on healthy eating. The publication is called “It’s All Good” and contains tips and recommendations on how to choose foods and what to exclude from your diet. The book caused mixed opinions among readers, and the list of products recommended by Gwyneth is impressive in its high cost.

Gwyneth Paltrow adheres to the principles of macrobiotics and strongly recommends that her readers completely avoid coffee, alcohol, tomatoes, soy, meat, corn, bell peppers, eggplant, wheat, potatoes, sugar and meat. Instead, consume rather specific products at not the lowest prices.

As arguments in favor, Gwyneth’s desire for a healthy lifestyle and nutrition can be cited. She wants to share her experience with readers. Her diet also contains many healthy foods: vegetables, fruits, fish.

However, many criticize the actress for the excessive cost and inaccessibility of her recommendations to ordinary people. According to rough estimates, such food should cost about $300 per day. Gwyneth's colleague Jessica Alba called this diet exclusively for the rich. The book was dubbed in the press “a guide on how to starve your family.”

Thus, despite the useful advice, Gwyneth Paltrow's book has attracted criticism mainly because its recommendations are prohibitively expensive and inaccessible to most people. It is more suitable for wealthy Hollywood stars than for ordinary families.
