In her latest GOOP newsletter, Gwyneth Paltrow reveals how she is hoping to shed some pesky pounds she gained over the holidays.

"I need to lose a few pounds of holiday excess. Anyone else?" she says. "I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hardcore one being the Master Cleanse I did last spring. It was not what you would characterize as pretty. Or easy."

See how Gwyneth Paltrow's style has changed over the years.

So she is not stuck subsisting solely on lemon water this winter, she has asked her doctor, a detox diet specialist, for the guidelines he uses to achieve a good detox that is not as hallucinogenic.

"What it came down to was this: you can detox easily and effectively while you continue to eat as long as you are cutting out the foods and other substances that interfere with the detoxification process," Paltrow writes.

She is cutting out dairy, grains with gluten, meat, shellfish, anything processed (including all soy products), fatty nuts, nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant), condiments, sugar and alcohol, caffeine or soda.

Instead, her diet will consist of salads, fruit smoothies, chicken, soups and lots of water.
