Gwyneth Paltrow would eat French fries "every day" if she could.
The ‘Iron Man 3’ actress – who has children Apple, 11, and Moses, nine, with ex-husband Chris Martin – was previously renowned for her strict macrobiotic eating habits but insists she is not a "good dieter" and is much more relaxed about her eating habits these days.
She said: "I don’t believe you should rule out any kind of food. I believe in enjoying life.
"I’m not a good dieter and since I’ve had kids, I have loosened up a lot.
"My favourite ‘bad food’? French fries. I would eat them at every meal if I could."
And the 43-year-old star insisted she is "realistic" when it comes to allowing her children treats, so long as they balance them with "healthy" options.
She told You magazine: "You can’t tell them, ‘No Coke, no cake.’ It is not realistic.
"Their favourite foods are pasta and french fries. It’s about trying to augment that with something healthy."
Gwyneth – who is dating producer Brad Falchuk – admits food is incredibly important to her.
She said: "Food means everything to me. When you walk into a kitchen and smell something simmering on the stove, you get a sense of home.
"Food creates a feeling of togetherness and nourishment."
