Wonder what is the secret behind Oscar winning actress, Gwyneth Paltrow's radiant looking beautiful skin? Well, for one, her flawless complexion has little do with all the ridiculously expensive facial treatments like acid pee, fitness facial, oxygen facial or vampire blood facial.

Rather, the self-proclaimed ‘lifestyle coach’ credits her healthy diets and fitness for her healthy glow. But then, as they say, all things Hollywood, even her special detox diet that she endorses in the latest issue of her much-ridiculed lifestyle blog “Goop” comes with a price tag.

This lifestyle virtuoso has launched a special series of old pro recipes to help her followers bring on 2014 with a ‘Warming Winter Detox.’ However, those not on Hollywood salaries may find Paltrow’s latest creations highly over the top, with a baffling list of ingredients like almond butter, mint flavored liquid chlorophyl, spirulina powder and chocolate flavored protein powder — all that makes her drinks sound more like the makings for a chemistry experiment than a detox drink.

One of the food critics had panned her creations as ‘Marie Antoinette detachment from reality’.

Fans who want to save themselves some cash may resort to leaving out the detox drink and opt for other recession-busting detox tips like 'taking saunas' and 'wearing organic cotton', but even those don't come cheap.

Miss Paltrow, you surely need to 'think' more economical if you truly want your followers to conform to your lifestyle ways, we say!
