Gwyneth Paltrow shares her health and fitness secrets

Want to know how Gwyneth Paltrow stays so gorgeous and glowing? Apart from the expensive facials, macrobiotic chef and personal trainer, that is?

Well, she's revealed all - about how to stay in shape, that is - and it's actually eminently sensible, and do-able. In her latest email newsletter, Gwynnie shares the advice of her three (count 'em!) doctors.

"Sleep eight hours for two weeks, then start eliminating 'white' foods," Gwyneth quotes her New York cardiologist Dr. Alejandro Junger as saying. "After two weeks of sleeping and eating better, you'll have the energy to exercise. Begin as you like. If you are totally out of shape, start by walking 15 minutes a day and add a minute every day for the first month."

"At the end of a month, you'll be up to 45 minutes a day, which should make you ready for whatever more strenuous form of exercise you want to try," he continues. "Experiment with them all to see what works best for you and stick with it."

In Gwyneth's case: hitting the gym for three hours a day. The rest of us might just want to try the "sleeping" part.
