Gwyneth Paltrow's former personal chef has revealed the "very strict" diet Paltrow followed when she cooked for her - and it mainly consisted of grass and vegetables.

Celebrity chef Kate McAloon, whose A-lister clients have included Miranda Kerr and Steven Spielberg, began to cook for Paltrow when she was was still married to Coldplay's Chris Martin. She disclosed that the brief from their assistant at the time said "they eat nothing".

"When I first started cooking for Gwyneth and Chris Martin, it was when she was doing the first Iron Man movie [2008]," McAloon told News.com.

"I had a brief from their assistants... they eat nothing. They are very strict. They avoided any sugars, anything sweet, no dairy, just more vegetables," she continued.

"When I got there I was trying to stick to the brief and I realised as I started adding more ingredients in, they said, 'Your food is getting better'. That's what happens when you eat more than grass."

Paltrow and Martin were married for ten years, before splitting in 2014.

On model Kerr's diet and healthy eating regime, McAloon revealed: "Miranda's great. She walks the talk... she really does eat like she says she does.

"I met Miranda when she was with Orlando [Bloom]. They both love my curries, light chicken or vegetarian curries with coconut, as well as quinoa, salmon and vegetables. I do a chicken salad with a lot of fresh herbs and chia puddings for breakfast.

"She tries not to eat anything with chemicals, no rice, just the lower GI carbs. But she has the 80/20 rule that she sticks to... so eating healthily 80 per cent of the time and having a treat the other 20 per cent."
