Gwyneth Paltrow reveals she was left hallucinating after 10-day Master Cleanse

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that she was left “hallucinating” after a 10-day cleanse.

Gwyneth Paltrow, 40, is known for being active and eating healthy, but admits she has tried fads like juice cleanses in the past which did her more harm than good.

The actress explained: “I’ve done juice cleanses in the past, and in my twenties I did the Master Cleanse, which left me hallucinating after 10 days.

“Be aware: a juice detox can crash your metabolism and lead to future weight gain.”

Although she’s committed to healthy living, Gwyneth Paltrow reveals she does indulge in naughty treats every now and then – including wine and cigarettes – because it provides some “balance” in her life.

In a self-penned article for The Telegraph newspaper, Gwyneth Paltrow wrote: “Stay away from processed foods, though cutting them out completely is no fun and can ultimately lead to a binge.

“Allow yourself programmed treats; I often have a glass of red wine in the evening and smoke a cigarette on a Saturday.

“I love those moments because they are just the right amount of naughty. That balance keeps you vibrant. You have to live your life, after all.”

Along with a good diet, Gwyneth Paltrow insists exercise is important and says she finds time to work out five days a week.

Gwyneth Paltrow added: “Keep up consistent exercise. I am dedicated to the Tracy Anderson Method and it has completely changed my body. Still, when I first started working with Tracy, finding motivation was hard.

“She advised me to think of exercise as an automatic routine, no different from brushing your teeth, to avoid getting distracted.

“Now it is part of my life – I exercise Monday to Friday at 10 a.m. and always stick with it.”
