PALTROW'S PANTRY

She eats crisps and pasta too! Take a look inside health-mad Gwyneth Paltrow’s immaculate store cupboard

The Iron Man star follows the macrobiotic diet, so some of the items are a little unexpected...

HEALTH-mad Gwyneth Paltrow has given the public a look inside her perfectly-organised pantry, which will put our messy cupboards to shame.

Some surprising additions to the notorious dieter's immaculate larder include treats such as Kettle Chips, Popchips and popcorn.

These snacks may just be for her two children, Apple, 12, and Moses, 10, with her ex-husband, Coldplay rocker Chris Martin.

However, three large jars of carbohydrate-laden white pasta are also visible on her shelves.

US actress Gwyneth, 44, promotes a gluten and sugar-free diet, so its slightly surprising to see these items in her cupboard.

Every item in Gwynnie's store cupboard is clearly labelled, but the eagle-eyed among you will notice that the 'desserts' basket remains empty.

Other items lining her shelves include fancy nut butters, flax seeds, kidney beans, and olive oils from Spain and Italy, as well as sriracha hot sauce plus dried fruit and nuts.

And there are at least two bottles of agave syrup, which is packed full of fructose, in the bottom right corner of the snap.

Some clean eating experts recommend agave syrup as an alternative to sugar, but others have dismissed claims it is healthier.

The wide range of items in Gwyneth's pantry shows a different side to the Iron Man star, who is known for her enviable figure, and follows the macrobiotic diet.

The diet is based on Zen Buddhism - and involves cutting out nearly all animal products, strict portion control, and a focus on eating in season.

In the past, Gwyneth has also fasted with kale and lemon cleanses, and survived on just salad for days on end.

In her book It's All Good, Gwynnie admitted she regularly cuts out carbs, and even stops her kids eating them.

She wrote: "Every single nutritionist, doctor and health-conscious person I have ever come across . . . seems to concur that (gluten) is tough on the system and many of us are at best intolerant of it and at worst allergic to it.

"Sometimes when my family is not eating pasta, bread or processed grains like white rice, we’re left with that specific hunger that comes with avoiding carbs."

Gwyneth opened her cupboards to the world after teaming up with the US organising service the Home Edit.

The company has been featured on Gwyneth's much-ridiculed blog for its service to 'de-cluttering'.

It offers straight-forward advice such as putting the kids' snacks low down so they are within easy reach, and charges from £180 per hour for a team of three to carry out an at-home service.
