The Goopster Has Lost Her Mind

I know I drink a lot, but there was a time not that long ago when Gwyneth Paltrow had a show on Food Network or Travel Channel with Mario Batali right? The one where they became best friends. The same guy who makes his living cooking pasta and pizza.This was about the time that The Goopster told us she had started eating normally again and was not on the macrobiotic diet which was just made up and was really just her starving herself and every few days having a piece of celery. Remember Gwyneth cooked us a chicken on a video and came out with a cookbook that had normal recipes? Yeah, well those times are gone and now we are back with the cooky Goopster. The one who says she lets her kids go to bed hungry rather than feed them carbs because she knows they are bad for them. Everyone says they are bad for them so she deprives them of carbs. Meanwhile, when Chris gets the kids its off to McDonald's and fish and chips and mashed potatoes delivered with an iv. The Goopster's new cookbook has no recipes with carbs. None with chicken eggs and none with dairy. Chapter 1 - "How To Make Air Taste Great." Chapter 2 - "The Air Cleanse." Chapter 3 - "I Ate Too Much Air - What Do I Do Now?"

  1. What amazes me is how "healthy" she has eaten, yet she gets blackouts /though she was having a stroke, and other problems. I have eaten plenty of junk food throughout my whole life, hardly ever get sick, and am in damn good shape. And I am two years older than she is- she also has the money and access to the best health care, and is a fucking mess.

  2. I'm just gonna go ahead and guess that the average cost to make one of her recipes is about a thousand dollars, after you go buy the 300-year-old balsamic vinegar and the splash of Courvoisier (carb-free of course).

    I've got to assume she knows about good carbs, right? I can see her limiting bleached-out/bad carbs. But even a fatty like me knows about the good grains and cereals.

    Gwynnie is just someone destined to be obsessed with food. It strongly suggests an eating disorder.

    That's really f'ed up to extend your weight loss dietary restrictions to your kids!!! I read this article somewhere else and she was saying that her husband and kids know what it's like to be hungry from not eating carbs. Your husband and kids are hungry, feed them you selfish bitch. Sorry guys, that just really pisses me off.

  7. To be fair, it's not about not having carbs. It's gluten intolerance/allergy. My BF's sister posted a picture of some dried alphabet noodles that were supposed to be "wheat-free, gluten-free". One of the ingredients was Vegetable Gum 405 - a thickener derived from petroleum used in antifreeze & paint remover. She's in Australia, but I'm sure we have the same crap here. What we put into our bodies IS important.

  12. I don't mind her diet kookiness. I read the whole article; she said that she found that her kids were gluten and dairy intolerant, hence the "no carbs." I don't mind when people raise their kids macrobiotic either. You know who was raised macrobiotic? Guy Fieri. Not kidding. Grown-ups eat however they want to, but there's nothing wrong with trying to give your kids a good start in life :)

  13. Her previous book had rave reviews in Amazon. I didnt read it but I do follow Goop and her recipes are always good and interesting.
    She does enjoy food and while she might not be Ferra Adria, I find her more believable in her shtick than Jessica Alba for example

  14. She shld relax with the food and just eat. It isnt rocket science. Just eat good fresh tood in moderation, and stop all the fads and gimmicks. And stop setting her kids up to have eating disorders.

  15. @VIP - she also talks about doing an "elimination diet", which isn't a diet in the sense that "hey I'm going on a diet." It's used by allergy doctors to help you find out what foods you're allergic to. A girl that used to work for me screwed up her body because she was doing all of those fad diets, and she had to go on elimination to get it back in order.

  16. She's really effing up her kids eating habits. I understand that she wants nothing but the best for her family but you can't let kids have something one day and take it away the next. We're not talking candy, we're talking food.

    After hearing mommy talk about not wanting to get fat and not eating certain things, the inevitable is the children progressing an eating disorder.

  21. I think she is just one of those people who tell so many lies, that she just simply doesn't have a clue as to what she has said in the past!

    she certainly doesn't abide by the Twain quote, "if you always tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything," or something to that effect.

  22. Processed carbs ARE bad for you. Cereal isn't anything but basically what you could swallow in a multivitamin plus sugars. I'm sure she means those and not good carbs like grains and veggies and fruits.

  28. This trick. I just can't.

    First off, since I love all of you: Please check out Dlisted's post on this. Shit had me dying last night with my glass of wine - and crackers and cheese.

    Isn't feeding your hungry kid one of your most primary/basic instincts as a mom?!?! I remember when I was entering my second year of not getting knocked up, I said to The Husband, "Fuck. I just want a kid so that I can feed him."

    I knew her whole Spanish bonanza with Mario was a SHAM. I wish he took me.

    I am all about the European way of thinking about food: Eat good seasonal food and enjoy the fabulous indulgences of life in moderation. Pasta, pizza, bread, wine, cheese - Bring it! And as a person who has a legitimate life-threatening allergy to nuts and peanuts (I literally have almost kicked the bucket), the whole craze with being allergic to everything drives me INSANE. (Off soapbox.)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ugh Amber! I looked that Vegetable Gum 405 up and it's horrid. Why would anyone use that? And it's sneaky labeling it as "vegetable" when it's petroleum. I immediately looked at my Alphabets and they were truly organic. Thank goodness!

    Goop doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. Complex Carbohyrdrates are in fruits (oranges, plums, etc), vegetables (broccoli, spinach and more) and legumes (beans including soy).

    Her advice is irresponsible and borderline dangerous and she should be offering any diet tips until she learns a bit more about what's "good" and what's "bad" when it comes to carbs.

    It's all about balance and portion control as mentioned.

  31. I remember reading the BV with Gwyneth as the obvious guess, about how Gwyneth has osteoporosis at such a young age. Here she claims to eat super duper healthy, when in reality she is bulimic and has deprived her body of vitamins for years due to the puking, which is what caused the osteo at such a young age. Her hair used to look gorgeous and healthy...she just doesn't look healthy to me anymore.

  32. @Sherry - I do really wish the US was strict about labeling. I personally want to know what I'm putting into my body. My family has a lot of cancer, and while I know my diet isn't going to prevent me from getting it, I'd like to reduce the avenues. It's not fair to people mislead them about what they're actually eating.

  34. I don't even buy that the kids and Chris are allergic to gluten and dairy. I think she is a f'n control freak and tells them that anything wrong with them is due to their diet so that she can be in charge of what they eat. She is obsessed with food. I would think with as "healthy" as she claimed to be eating she would be consuming enough vegetables and beans and such to avoid being anemic and would have done some research on making sure she was getting enough vitamins and such from her diet. Perhaps a multi-vitamin would have been a good idea you idiot.

    While I agree there are some eating issues going on here I hate that good nutrition is getting a bad rep because its coming from Goopy. Processed carbs and sugars are bad. I wouldn't want my kids going to bed hungry, that's shitty. I don't control what my husband eats, when he's still hungry after dinner he has yogurt and berries.
    I try and stay away from the things she's speaking about, although I have to have a piece of pumpkin loaf from Starbucks once a week. God that stuffs good!

    Other than that I'm with Amber I make everything from scratch with good ingredients. 3/4 of the plate should be veggies and meat portions shouldn't be bigger than your fist. Limit potatoes, cheese and pasta. I substitute couscous and sweet potatoes. I have a killer sweet potato and butternut squash curry soup recipe if anyone wants it.

    All that said I still think Goop has/had bulimia and I think she's seperated from Chris.

  38. Since we're on the topic of food and cancer, did you know that frying and baking potatoes can cause cancer? I only learned about this last year. Boiling them is fine, but apparently frying and baking activates a potentially cancer-causing element. Sorry to bring everyone down :( Like @Amber, I am now hyper-vigilant about food. One of the by-products of losing your dad to cancer. And coincidentally that's also the reason I always give Gwynnie a pass on the food thing. She originally went macro with her dad when he was diagnosed

    ReplyDelete
  39. @Amber: I firmly believe that what you put in your body CAN stop cancer, or at least inhibit the growth of cancer.

    My mother has been battling it for four years now. Cancer here, take care of that, then it pops up somewhere else, chemo/radiation/operation, etc... a couple of years into it, she cut out all sugars, and basically only eats fruits, vegetables (including common weeds), legumes, and nuts. No dairy, no meat, no bread except something called Spelt bread (I think that's it) that she makes herself. She's been cancer-free for over a year now and is in great shape. Her test results keep coming back negative. She'll be 72 next week and I'm so f'ing proud of her for making these changes to her diet to stick around awhile longer.

    SHOUT OUT TO MY LOVELY MOTHER!!! (Not that she's reading.)

  40. In order to have feelings, motherly or otherwise, Goop would need to possess a soul. It is obvious her plastic, fem bot self is void of such a thing (maybe souls contain carbs). As such, feelings of joy, compassion, and love are not present in the subject, having been replaced by jealousy, rage and the desire to control others.

    Now my studies haven't shown if a person such as this is born soulless or a soul never develops due to childhood trauma. However, I am lead to believe that those conceived and/or incubated with cocaine and alcohol present in the environment are less likely to possess souls.

    My alternate theory is that mirrors eat your soul, which leads to rapid atrophy in the soul of a narcissist twat. Think of it as "Those consumed with themselves consume their own soul."

    My studies are on going and I'll keep you all up to date on any future developments.

  42. it's about balance, folks, and clearly she has lost that plus a whole lotta brain cells-I'm guessing. Carbs are important, not so much for diabetics who have to consume carbs in moderation and balance but essential for children who need carbs to develop, grow and feed their brain cells. Goopy, maybe if you fed your brain a bit you might start up that thinking process.

    FWIW, I think Gwynnie means well in her own way. But it's coming from an obtuse place. I can appreciate becoming more aware of her food after her father's death. However, there's a difference between awareness and mindless obsession. Gwynnie's approach feels like the latter.

  45. What carbs so you speak of that help children's brains grown? Grains, wheat, flour, oats. No. They are not neccesary for growth. That is just silly to even say. Yes there are good carbs in sweet potatoes, turnips, cauliflower. Those are neccesary. But what she was saying is they are starved of gluten and wheat products.

    As a healthcare professional I had to take years of anatomy classes. I remember one of my teachers being livid over the no-carb craze. Our brains function best on carbs. To deprive children, whose brains are developing of an entire food group is stupid and dangerous. I also use this argument as a reason why I will never give up those delicious loaves of bread from the bakery.

  53. @VIPBlondie: it's true baking/frying potatoes (esp. ones that brown easily) can cause cancer, but if you make your own, you can put the sliced potatoes in salty water for 15 minutes beforehand - that reduces the risk considerably (as advised by a study hereabouts).

    ReplyDelete
  54. @VIP & sylmarillion - I believe the same is true for various oils. If you heat some of them to too high of a temperature it changes the composition and they become toxic. I'm not sure which ones, though. I basically only use olive oil or coconut oil.

  55. I read the whole article; she said that she found that her kids were gluten and dairy intolerant, hence the "no carbs."

    @ VIP, did she mention if she diagnosed them or did a doctor?

    Gwyneth is very obviously obsessed with her body, self-image and what she eats (and, ah, expels). I get being careful about what you eat and wanting only the best for yourself and your kids,and she can certainly afford it, but she's taking obsession to a new level. And does she think we'll believe her dietary claims if she puts a 15+ year-old photo on the cover? It's just a little bit misleading.

  64. I think the misconception is she is "starving" her children. When I read that yesterday I knew it was misleading. I haven't had bread in a long while and sometimes I am starving for it!

  67. all her talk for this is just her way of hiding her severe eating/food disorders (along with the mania for excercise). she tries to pass it off the public as 'healthy' but really its her excuse for her troubled issues with food.

    I went gluten/dairy free due to really severe acid reflux/ulcer issues and i really dig it so far, i don't get bloated/constipated but guess what? I'm still eating those carbs, except, in moderation (follow the pyramid) and eat rice flour breads, corn flour pasta, etc., love it all.

    fact is i am not shaming my kids for what they eat or want to and i'm eating balanced, fruits/veg/caarbs/protein/fat.

I think gluten allergies are over diagnosed and the percentage is actually smaller, but it is the current fad.

  73. she's got an eating disorder and is imposing it on her kids, husband and the rest of the world.

    carbs are not bad. alot of refined carbs are not good, but there is nothing wrong w/eating carby vegetables, such as the potato.

    if she weren't already famous, she'd have a zero following bec. she is trying to come across as an expert, and she doesn't know dick.

One of my friends 2 young boys are now being seen by medical professionals due to their small size and growth delays. The reason- mom is so weight obsessed and afraid of fat that she's unknowingly deprived them of the fat and cholesterol necessary for proper growth.

    TO second Smash...they quote about her kids being hungry was taken out of context she meant the hunger you get when you are obsessively craving something you can't have. Like I don't eat pork...haven't in about 25 years. But every once in a rare while, I get an intense craving for pork spareribs. Nothing can satisfy that craving (hunger). I'll make beef ribs, but it's just not the same (still won't eat the pork though).

  85. It might be too late to ask... But re the coconut oil... Does it TASTE lle coconut?

    Cos this isn't the first place I've seen people rave about hot great it is, but I just can't get my head around coconut and neat going together (unless you add curry).
