Gwyneth Paltrow just released her lifestyle website's annual Goop Detox, a 5-day cleanse meant to help you hit the reset button after a holiday season filled with booze, cheesy-bacon-y carb-laden appetizers and endless desserts, and just looking at the list of what you can't eat is enough to overwhelm most mere mortals. They're all things commonly cut out on most clean-eating programs, the site reports, but after looking at the list, it's easy to immediately wonder what, exactly, you can eat - and how much shopping, obscure-store-scoring and $$$ is involved in making this meal plan a reality.

Caffeine, alcohol, gluten, nightshades (AKA tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, bell peppers and chili peppers), added sugars, vegetable oils, processed butter and oils are all off the table, as well as red meat, soy, dairy, shellfish and corn. Eggs are allowed from time to time, just to provide extra protein.

Caffeine, alcohol, gluten, nightshades (AKA tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, bell peppers and chili peppers), added sugars, vegetable oils, processed butter and oils are all off the table, as well as red meat, soy, dairy, shellfish and corn. Eggs are allowed from time to time, just to provide extra protein.

That eliminates many go-to weeknight dinners, on-the-go breakfasts, and forget ordering something out to eat - unless it's romaine lettuce with poached or grilled chicken (as long as the chicken wasn't cooked in vegetable or processed oil) and non-nightshade veggies. Thankfully, the site also offers a complete listing of what to eat, along with recipes, and says that with one big shopping trip and meal-prepping sesh on Sunday, you can take care of most of the work to get you through the week. Tack on a mid-week protein run, and you're good through Friday.
Just stocking up on those three ingredients ... will cost you about $125.
Despite the complicated list of what you can't have, the recipes themselves are pretty down-to-earth. Yes, you have to make your own chicken broth, but you'll use that broth throughout the week as you cook.

Made-from-scratch egg drop soup (yes, it's recommended for breakfast!) and apple-cinnamon oatmeal will get you through the long mornings without coffee, along with GP's Warming Morning Latte, a "spicy potion" that will give you an entire education in ingredients you've probably never heard of: astragalus, reishi, and tocos, all from a company called Sun Potion, a company that specializes in "transformational foods." The three ingredients are supposed to do everything short of letting you levitate: when combined, they'll boost your immune system, relieve stress, make your skin glow, detoxes your body and protect you from free radicals and "other environmental stressors," Goop reports.
Just stocking up on those three ingredients - since there's a good chance you won't have them lying around in your pantry, though kudos to you if you do - will cost you about $125.

Homemade granola bars, featuring a mix of raw nuts, rolled oats and spices, are meant to help curb your sweet tooth without hitting up the vending machine at 3 p.m. Good luck with that.

Paltrow has a clever hack for making gluten-free dim sum: She uses cabbage leaves as wrappers. They're on the meal plan, along with a poached chicken-topped veggie salad, Niçoise salad, miso sweet potatoes, miso sweet potato collard wraps (hey, gotta use up all those spuds you're prepping!), turkey and sweet potato chili, Thai fried rice, lentils with salmon and grilled radicchio, and Laarb lettuce cups.
Many of the dishes call for dark meat ground chicken, which can be hard to find if you don't live near a Whole Foods. You could try Oprah's hack, buying chicken thighs, removing the bones, and pulsing the meat in the food processor to grind it. Of course, in the time it takes you to do that, you might be tempted to pull a Regina George and ditch your diet altogether.
