Gwyneth Paltrow has been criticised for her "dangerous" diet promotion and accused of "glorifying" eating disorders.
The Goop founder, 50, went viral following her appearance on The Art of Being Well podcast in which she opened up about her diet and exercise routine.
As part of the hour-long podcast, Gwyneth said: "I eat dinner early in the evening. I do a nice intermittent fast."
She added: "So I have coffee, but I really like soup for lunch. I have bone broth for lunch a lot of the days."
Her comments were picked up by plus-size model Tess Holliday who hit out at Gwyneth for promoting "unsuitable meals".

Tess Holliday called out the actress on TikTok (tessholliday/TikTok)Taking to TikTok to discuss Gwyneth's recent interview, Tess said: "What I find most mental about this is that we've known for years that she is okay with glorifying her eating disorder.
"And I'm not judging, because I have an eating disorder.
"Bone broth is not a suitable meal. And then to end your day with just eating vegetables, but yet people continue to give her airtime, to give her a platform, to take her advice because everyone is too afraid to be fat."
She then recalled the time when she was at a special event with Gwyneth which included a "set course" menu.

That they were gonna have something different...
"Pizza. But not just any pizza. Cauliflower crust pizza with no cheese.
"And I'm not shading anyone that likes cauliflower pizza, go on do your thing, but everyone just laughed like it was no big deal."
Tess insisted she didn't want to "judge what people put in their bodies, before adding: "But this s**t isn't normal and it's affecting a whole other generation of young folks who think that eating like GP is appropriate, is okay.
