She was said to have followed a strict sugar-free diet when she was married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
But it seems Gwyneth Paltrow, 48, has relaxed some of her strict dietary rules now she is with TV producer Brad Falchuk, 45, as a revealing photograph of her brunch with her ex-husband and new ‘fiancé’ shows that she like to indulge by eating chocolate spread.
The brand she favours is Elite Pesek Zman spread, an Israeli brand, in a nod to her and her long-term boyfriend’s Jewish heritage.

The Israeli chocolate spread is a new product and it is flavoured like a famous brand of hazelnut cream chocolate called Pesek Zman, which sells for about $1 a bar
The spread is a relatively new product by Pesek Zman, which is one of the most famous hazelnut cream chocolate bars in Israel.
The spread costs between $10 and $14 on US kosher supermarket websites, making it a somewhat pricey version of Nutella.
Health fanatic Gwyneth, who owns lifestyle brand Goop, may have favoured an Israeli spread over others to honour her and Brad’s Jewish heritage.
Gwyneth’s father is Jewish, and she has said in interviews how she grew up celebrating both Jewish and Christian holidays.
Brad, who created the hit TV series Glee, is also Jewish. His mother Nancy is the national president of the American Jewish women’s organization, Hadassah.

The spread was pride of place in Gwyneth’s picture of ex Chris Martin, 40, and long-term boyfriend Brad to show how both men are part of her ‘modern family’.
It was the first picture she has posted on her Instagram since the news of her ‘engagement’ broke, and one of the few featuring Brad, who she has been quietly dating for three years.
Letting the picture speak for itself, Gwyneth simply wrote: ‘Sunday brunch #modernfamily’.
She beautifully captured the two men in her life, as Chris sat his arms folded and sharing a cheesey grin, while Brad looked bashful with his head leaning on his palm.

It’s well known that Gwyneth and her ex Chris share a very amicable co-parenting relationship and have previously gone on holiday together and hosted parties for the sake of their two children.
Gwyneth and Chris have one daughter Apple, now 13, and a son Moses, who is 11 years old.
Gwyneth and Brad have been dating quietly for the past three years as they have never walked a red carpet together and rarely appear on each other’s social media accounts, which makes the actress’s latest post a special one.
First reports of Brad and Gwyneth’s engagement broke last week as part of a report by US Weekly.
Gwyneth’s former personal chef Kate McAloon has revealed just how strict the Goop founder’s diet really was when she was with ex-husband Chris.
The celebrity chef worked for the actress and her ex-husband Chris Martin when she was starring in the first Iron Man film, released in 2008, and has now admitted that she was shocked by how restrictive the list of foods she had to work with was.
‘I had a brief from their assistants. They eat nothing,’ she told news.com.au. They are very strict. They avoided any sugars, anything sweet, no dairy, just more vegetables.
But now it seems Gwyneth has relaxed her rules, if the chocolate spread if anything to go by.
