Apparently Gwyneth Paltrow 'broke down' and ate bread during lockdown.

Hmmm, not sure how to take your post OP.

She’s obviously had an issue during lockdown and has turned to bread. Bread may be isn’t something most would have an issue with but plenty have had an issue with alcohol over the last 12 months. Poor diet choices and inactive lifestyles too.

Lots of people have had struggles over the last year. GP has obviously been the same and I don’t think turning to bread is something to make fun of. After all, you’d not make fun of someone eating too many packets of crisps or chocolate or a bottle of wine most nights.

If I am reading your post correctly please remember. Be kind.

I thought it was multiple whisky sours every night and cigarettes that she fessed to? Bread barely seems worth mentioning after that.

She did stipulate it was “quinoa whiskey” though.

I thought she'd been on the sauce? That's what I read anyway.

And frankly, haven't many of us.

OhTheIronyOfItAll · 10/05/2021 18:25

She drank several nights a week and ate bread and pasta when she usually eats very clean.

Plenty of people have been on here complaining they have been drinking and binge eating, why mock Gwyneth Paltrow for it?

JMAngel1 · 10/05/2021 18:26

Yes to GP, bread might as well be crack Grin
God knows what she'd think of me!

FromHereToModernity · 10/05/2021 18:27

Be kind.

I don't think telling women to 'be' anything is terribly liberating tbh. Do men get this on pistonheads?

RJnomore1 · 10/05/2021 18:27

Given the amount of utter shite she foists on people for ridiculous prices I think ms Paltrow can withstand a bit of leg pulling re her excesses.

Whatsthescoop · 10/05/2021 18:29

Probably whilst sat in a dark room with only the glow from her fanny candles

JMAngel1 · 10/05/2021 18:29

I don't think OP is mocking her - she doesn't need anyone to mock her, she's doing it to herself - "broke down" eating bread - I mean c'mon!!!

IHaveBrilloHair · 10/05/2021 18:30

Omg bread, bread!
Imagine what she's foisting on her kids...

For god sakes. “Please remember: Be kind” is either irritating in the mould of “BE ALERT” or nothingy in the way “Mind the Gap” fades into the background.

Phrasing it like a tannoy announcement isn’t helping.

I had a similar thing this last lockdown with pasta after being low carb for two years. Pasta was turned out to being my gateway food to chocolate, rice, bread, crisps, whole tubs of Ben and Jerry’s... 8kg later...

I would think a multi millionaire who sells vagina scented candles has a rhino hide TBH.

IHaveBrilloHair · 10/05/2021 18:33

I'm mocking her.
She's ridiculous.

SunflowersAndLavender · 10/05/2021 18:33

Yep. And wine.

Bread and wine. Perhaps she's found the Lord.

Pumpkinstace · 10/05/2021 18:33

If bread isn't something you usually eat can be quite damaging to suddenly reintroduce into the diet.

KittyKatChonky · 10/05/2021 18:33

I was not expecting these responses to the op.

Not unless you have coeliac or intolerance.

God, don't I know it. I try to eat low carb as often as possible but evey now and again I go on a massive bread and pastry binge. I am thinking of taking out shares in Gaviscon.

😂

I, too, mocked her heartily for such a bullshit luvvie “break-out”. I doubt she’ll lose sleep over it!

purrswhileheeats · 10/05/2021 18:39

I'm sure Gwyneth looks like Rosemary in Shallow Hal now after eating bread 🙄

Whatsthescoop · 10/05/2021 18:44

It's a slippery slope, starts with a slice of bread & before you know it you're in Tesco carpark stuffing your face with 2 chocolate elclairs & ditching the box before you get home (that's a little confession on my part)

eddiemairswife · 10/05/2021 18:58

My goodness! Some people on here are VERY serious.
