Gwyneth Paltrow has certainly shifted gears in her dietary preferences. After enduring criticism for her purported “starvation diet,” the acclaimed actress was recently seen indulging in a hearty meal at The Corner Store in New York City. On Friday night, Paltrow was caught enjoying a lavish steak sandwich, crispy fries, and an extravagant ice cream sundae alongside her close friend, Amy Griffin.
According to an eyewitness, our favorite wellness guru, now 52, ordered the upscale Wagyu French Dip sandwich priced at $35, along with a side of Classic Sea Salt fries for $12 and a heaping Samoa Sundae at $18. The night out attracted other notable figures, including Morgan Stewart from “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills,” who was dining nearby.
This outing comes nearly two years after Paltrow made headlines for sharing her unconventional eating habits on the “Art of Being Well” podcast, where she revealed her penchant for intermittent fasting and reliance on bone broth for lunch, typically followed by paleo meals in the evening. The star faced significant backlash, particularly from former “View” co-host Meghan McCain, who criticized Paltrow’s look and questioned the promotion of her lifestyle on her brand platform.
Paltrow has since defended her dietary choices, explaining they were tailored to her unique health situation, which included high levels of inflammation and challenges from long COVID. She emphasized that her food plan is reflective of personal medical tests and is not intended as universal advice. Despite previous criticisms, she insists that her eating habits have been remarkably beneficial for her overall health.
On social media, Paltrow elaborated, assuring followers that her regimen is not as restrictive as it may appear. She clarified that while she does focus on avoiding inflammatory foods, she also allows herself indulgences. “I eat full meals,” she stated, mentioning that she has days dedicated to her cravings for items like French fries.
In light of her recent feast, it appears Paltrow embraces flexibility within her nutritional framework—because even celebrities have their cheat days.
