Gwyneth Paltrow Said She’s Eating Carbs And Cheese Again, And The Internet’s Reaction Is Priceless
Somebody said, “it’s over folks,” and now I’ll never be the same.
Wait a minute. Gwyneth Paltrow, carbs, and cheese are getting back together?

Yes, it’s true. After a years-long strict paleo diet, Gwyneth is bringing cheeses and carbs back into her life.

On The Goop Podcast, the lifestyle brand founder revealed that she and her husband, Brad Falchuck, were paleo because of “longer-term inflammation and health stuff.”
In the podcast, Gwyneth said that she had the gene APOE3 and APOE4, which increases her risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, and she had to be “really careful not to have inflammation in [her] brain.”

Side note: This isn’t your first time hearing about this gene and a Marvel Cinematic Universe actor. In 2022, Chris Hemsworth learned that his DNA included two copies of the APOE4 gene, which studies have linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Only 2% to 3% of the population has both, according to a 2021 study by the National Institutes of Health.

So, Gwyneth’s reason for the paleo diet and her preventive measures made sense, but now she’s “sick” of it, and the internet has a lot to say about it.

The paleo diet requires a meal plan similar to that of people from the Paleolithic era, roughly 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 B.C., when people lived in caves, huts, and teepees.

“I’m a little sick of it if I’m honest,” Gwyneth said.

“I’m getting back into eating some sourdough bread and some cheese. There, I said it. A little pasta. After being strict with it for so long,” she continued.

The Iron Man actor upheld that paleo is “a good, sort of, template, right? Eating foods that are kind of as whole and fresh as possible.”

Nonetheless, she’s bringing a little cheesy pasta back into her life after seemingly avoiding it, and the internet hilariously thinks it’s the sign of the end times.
Somebody said, “Gwyneth Paltrow has started eating carbs and cheese again, so a recession is definitely on the horizon.”
But this person said Gwyneth’s return to eating carbs and cheese again is “not even a recession indicator.” It’s a “genuine apocalypse indicator.”
Another person cosigned and said, “gwyneth paltrow eating cheese & carbs is basically the celebrity equivalent of a meteor hitting earth. it’s over, folks.”
I snorted when I saw this person say her return to bread and cheese is “the seventh seal” from the Book of Revelation.
This person asked, “What is even going on this month?? The pope died, Gwyneth Paltrow started eating carbs and cheese….”
“Gwyneth Paltrow Eating carbs is like the political Punxsuatawny Phil not seeing his shadow: it must mean we have a slim chance for nuclear winter,” someone else wrote.
Finally, this person said they just opened “this hellsite” (referring to X), and seeing this news about Gwyneth’s eating habits made them “overwhelmingly irritated. I need to go read a book or go for a walk in nature or something levels of irritated.”
