Gwyneth Paltrow has got so annoyed with her unsuccessful efforts to shift the weight she gained during her second pregnancy that she’s turned to a strict diet regime including detoxing, cupping and colonic irrigation as well as cutting back on all the fun foods.

A source told the Sun she’s been working with her long-term dietary advisor Dr Nish Joshi to plan the diet but even after years of living on a macrobiotic diet prior to having children, she “is really testing her willpower with this one.”

“She has followed a macrobiotic diet for years and has only recently relaxed the rules so she can have some dairy products. But now Dr Joshi has listed everything she can and cannot have in order to get back to her pre-baby physique — and it’s scary.”

The diet forbids wheat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, red meat, most fish and fruit, including tomatoes and peppers.

Cate Blanchett, Nicole Appleton and Kate Moss have all reportedly followed the diet at one time or another.
