It's All Good

Bestselling cookbook author Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Turshen, a writer and Gwyneth's niece, have come up with 185 easy recipes for the foods they like to eat when Gwyneth wants to look her best. Last spring, after a particularly grueling schedule and lapse of overindulgence, Gwyneth Paltrow was feeling fatigued and faint. A visit to her doctor revealed that she was anemic, vitamin D deficient, and that her stress levels were sky-high. He prescribed an elimination diet to clear out her system and help her body heal. But this meant no coffee, no alcohol, no dairy, no eggs, no sugar, no shellfish, no deep-water fish, no wheat, no meat, no soy, nothing processed at all! An avid foodie, Paltrow was concerned that so many restrictions would make mealtime boring. And so she shared recipes with her niece Julia Turshen that followed a doctor's guidelines but allowed the two women to eat what they liked best—and it worked! After changing her diet and feeling focused again on the things that mattered most—her three children—Paltrow healed totally and felt more energetic.
