London, July 10 - Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow has turned to a leading cardiologist and detoxification expert in a bid to lose the weight she gained during a 'relax and enjoy life phase'.

The health-conscious actress, who is married to rocker Chris Martin, has revealed she has almost completed an 'amazing'' three-week-long detox programme, reported contactmusic.com.

'I feel pure and happy and much lighter... I dropped the extra pounds that I had gained during a majorly fun and delicious 'relax and enjoy life phase' about a month ago,' said the 36-year-old actress.

The actress has long been associated with body-improving diets and techniques and has been a poster girl for macrobiotic food in the past.
