Gwynneth is not on a macrobiotic diet. She stopped that when she got pregnant with Apple. On Oprah, she said that she eats everything, including fish, wild game, cheese but won't eat 4-legged animals. Her sweet tooth is for donuts and any fried dough and ate that excessively while pregnant with Moses, so she had an extra 20 pounds she could not lose by herself.

I also had to turn to exercise to lose my post-pregnancy weight and having kids is not an excuse not to do it. We watch enough TV to go for a walk instead. I found that when I did not have energy, just doing the exercise, I had more energy afterwards.

On Oprah, she said that she works out 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. She showed her routine and she really works hard. Even if I had someone to take care of my kids for 2 hours while I exercise, I'm not sure I would be as disciplined so kudos to her.

ACTIVE play, then take an hour to walk/workout...that is THREE HOURS! Not hard to do, and I'm NOT vain...

Have a Banana!

wow, those of you who criticized me are sick. i am at work, and i don't take lunch. i have five minutes and i'm on a gossip blog to amuse myself, so what? i leave to pick up my kids in 15 minutes and then it's dinner, bath, reading time, and then we clean the kitchen and then it's off to bed for me too. that's how real women live and work. gwyneth is a vain little spoiled brat, i am only insulting her because all she does is complain. she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and has never worked a real job, or had to really keep it together without the help of her huge bank account and her nannies and personal trainers. have a great day, and god bless all of you who have to insult me to make you feel better about yourselves. you are as pathetic as gwyneth is. losers.

It's called karma sweetheart. You insult Gwyneth "because all she does is complain", you're the only one complaining. Gwyneth didn't complain about anything!

"god bless all of you who have to insult me to make you feel better about yourselves. you are as pathetic as gwyneth is. losers."

Maybe people wouldn't insult you if you weren't such a whiney little b!atch. Quit crying about your hard hard life. If you don't like it, change it! You don't have to put a beautiful successful woman like Gwyneth down (by the way she is an Oscar winner) to make yourself feel better.

Loser.

Look at the girls on 90210, they look like they are sticking to the diet coke, black coffee, cigarette diet that most of hollywood seems to go with. If she needs to workout 2 hours a day to look better then them (in my opinion) for her job then good for her. She found a healthy way to do it. Most people have to work, that is what she is doing too, working. How many of us are leaving our kids at daycare for 8+ hours? How many are ignoring our children while we complain about celebrities on US Weekly? How many should instead be investing some time to our bodies and working out? Wouldn't it be worse if she was on a super strict diet, had no energy and couldn't interact with her kids at all?

1:15 PM Anonymous Says: @ 1:04 p.m. -- Oh I so agree with the other poster. You are sitting there with lard of lump a** talking about stuff that REAL WOMEN have to do all day. I bet you drive your husband up a wall with all that complaining, too. Look what poor little me has to do, "boo hoo". Shut up. You give the rest of us real, hard working women who MAKE time to care about our health a bad name. Whose to say you can't get your lumpy butt on the floor with your kids 30 min here and 30 min there and do some situps? Do you need a trainer to teach you how to do a proper situp? You're blogging at work but you need to be googling to try to find a 15 minute work out plan that you can print and tape to your refrigerator. Personal training, chef - what the heck? Do you really need all that to get out of the house with your kids and make some fun out of working out? YOU CRY BABY. Sucks to be you! It's so easy to criticize someone for trying to be healthy isn't it? Especially when they have more money than the average person. So what! If you want something, you make the time - kids or not. I'm sure you're kids would love to have work out time with mommy as you try and teach them about good health! Do some jump and jacks! Make a game of it. Don't make excuses!

we are not on our lazy asses, we are at work--i am taking a break here. i have to take my kids to school, work, pick them up, bring them home, make dinner, and i don't have nannies and hours to spend at the gym. i am not fat, not even close, but by hollywood i would be considered a little pudgy (i am a size 6 @ five foot 3). why don't you stop insulting people on the board. gwyneth is a spoiled brat who has no idea how real people live.

Well why don't you throw a pity party! Whine whine whine. If you have a right to insult Gwyneth, then why don't I have a right to insult you????

You act like you are SO FRICKING BUSY, but yet, you sit here and type away on a gossip blog. Whatever! No one feels sorry for you!

12:19 Anon - I couldn't agree more. Gwyneth needs a reality check.

Gwyneth is a good example of a woman who loves her children and her work but also makes time for herself. Dieting when you have kids is never a good idea because they pick up the idea that everyone, including them, needs to diet. Most gyms have daycare centers and the kids usually like going to them. Hey moms out there... just take one hour out of your day to work on your body. I guarantee you will be a better mom for taking the time to do it and giving yourself a good one hour break from the kids. It works, trust me. Gwyneth is beautiful!

She looks amazing!!! Now I know why....and yeah I agree, I could look that super too if I had the time and a trainer. I'm lucky to squeeze in a few crunches and stairs.

Unfortunately the average working, mom doesn't have 2-3 hrs/ a day to workout, a private studio, personal trainer and personal chef. I think that if more people had that luxury then we could look that great but that’s not our reality. With that being said I do think that Gwyneth Paltrow looks fabulous!

As a mother it's hard to take the time to go exercise, especially if they are awake and wanting to play (and kids ALWAYS want to play). In the interview she said that she only will take supporting roles in movies because she doesn't want to be away from her kids. Does that mean she has to be with them 24/7? No. Are you people even reading the article? I mean she says that she isn't on a diet. She was on a macro or whatever diet when she was younger but after having children she even said on Oprah that she eats a lot of junk. If she wants to stay thin and workout a couple hours out of the day than good for her. I don't blame her and wish that I had a trainer that came to my house while also having someone also watch my child....Good for her.
