Gwyneth Paltrow has just finished yet another detox program. The 36-year-old actress, who has been practising yoga for 20 years and loves Tracy Anderson’s dance workout, is still on a mission to share her healthy-living lifestyle with her fans through her website, GOOP.

In her latest GOOP newsletter she wrote:

“Designed by New York cardiologist and detoxification specialist Dr. Alejandro Junger, this program allowed me to work and exercise regularly, something I cannot do if I am on a liquid-only detox. I followed it to the letter and I can report that it worked wonders. I feel pure and happy and much lighter (I dropped the extra pounds that I had gained during a majorly fun and delicious ‘relax and enjoy life phase’ about a month ago). I also really enjoyed learning about the incredible health benefits of resting your digestive system.”

“It got me to really move my body again. Especially doing the dance aerobics and sweating out all those hormones,” says Paltrow, who boasts that she lost 11 inches in the first 10 days of working out with Anderson.
