1. Gwyneth Paltrow

Paltrow is vocal about her love of natural products. “Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to read labels and know what’s in a product before putting anything in or on my body,” she said to W Magazine. “There can be so many unnecessary ingredients in products that we just don’t need, and even scarier, there are a lot of toxic, harmful ingredients that are masked by product marketing.

2. Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz is one of Paltrow’s close friends. She shared her diet secrets in an interview with Bon Appetit. “I’m a protein girl in the morning. That’s a big thing for me. A lot of my friends can't stomach breakfast, but I have a first and a second breakfast. At my first breakfast, I just put something in my stomach before my workout—usually scrambled eggs, toast, an avocado, an apple with almond butter, overnight oats, or a piece of chicken. It's just enough to kick things into gear. Then I work out. After that, at second breakfast, I joke that I eat dinner for breakfast. It's a full meal with chicken, grains, and sautéed or roasted vegetables.”

3. Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner is another close friend of Paltrow’s. Garner is all about having self-confidence. She shared her tips for building it with TODAY. "When you start getting super critical of yourself, turn around, pivot in that spot and go do something nice for someone else. Or go work out, or just take that and make it active instead of letting it just fester in you."

4. Beyonce

Beyonce and Paltrow are close friends. They are often seen hanging out, and Paltrow introduced Beyonce’s performance at the Grammys. The singer’s trainer, Marco Borges, shared her fitness secrets with Glamour. "I stretch B at the end of every workout. Sprints are ideal for building stamina and explosiveness. Which B needs to move across the stage.”

5. Dakota Johnson

Paltrow has become close friends with actress Dakota Johnson, due to the latter’s relationship with Chris Martin, Paltrow’s ex and the father of her children. Johnson works with trainer, Ramona Braganza, to help her stay in shape. To prep for Fifty Shades Freed, Braganza had Johnson try the 3-2-1 diet. “It’s just proportions, when to eat, smaller meals and more meals,” Braganza told Healthista. “So things like having three meals a day, two snacks and a minimum of one litre of water a day.”

6. Ross Mathews

Paltrow is close friends with Ross Mathews. She even wrote the backward to his book. Mathews opened up about his weight loss and diet changes to PageSix. “My choices are just like yummy, good, healthy food. I call them my 'rossipes,' and I cook every day. I broke up with pizza, and then I fell in love with the love of my life, my husband, and we just take really good care of each other.”

7. Jessica Alba

Paltrow is close with Jessica Alba, and the two filmed an episode of Carpool Karaoke together. Alba shared with Marie Claire that she uses fitness apps to help her stay in shape. “I downloaded a few apps and I'll watch YouTube videos of different fitness folks. So I signed up to [the Equinox+] app and they do meditation, they do yoga, strength training. They have all those things and you can keep track of your health."

8. Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. and Paltrow play love interests in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Downey Jr.’s trainer, Brad Bose, shared how he stays in shape to play Iron Man in an interview. “We’d do intervals on the Perfect Storm, hitting his major muscle groups from loads of different angles, then finish up with a climb on a Jacob’s Ladder – an inclined climbing treadmill to improve cardio.”

9. Jennifer Aniston

Paltrow’s close friend, Jennifer Aniston, revealed to Insider that she loves intermittent fasting. "I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours,” Aniston explained. “Fortunately, your sleeping hours are counted as part of the fasting period. You just have to delay breakfast until 10am."

10. Rita Ora

Another of Paltrow’s close friends is singer and TV host, Rita Ora. She tells Shape that she does a variety of exercises to keep herself in shape. “I usually work out for one or two hours, depending on how much time I have. I do three circuits and repeat that three times. I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight lifting. And I do one circuit of cardio.”

11. Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts and Paltrow recently saw each other at a party. Roberts opened up about her journey with self-confidence to Shape. “I used to have a complex about being short,” Roberts says. “Now I love that I’m 5’ 2". I’m strong, and that feels really good to me. I believe we are all innately confident. I believe we lose touch with ourselves and let other people’s opinions and thoughts get louder than our own."

Aniston and Lisa Kudrow worked together on Friends. She talked about her struggles with body image on WTF with Marc Maron podcast. "I just realised, 'Oh no, it’s OK. This is just what I look like. That’s OK'. I mean, do what you need to do to be healthy. But this is your body, it’s OK.”

Aniston listed Kerry Washington as a friend on Instagram. She talked about her wellness secrets in an interview with Marie Claire. “I love to exercise first thing in the morning, like Pilates, yoga, or weight training, and then drink at least a litre of water with either lemon juice or LMNT supplement powder.

5. Kate Hudson

Aniston’s friend Kate Hudson shared her typical meals in an interview. "I also make all kinds of smoothies using different INBLOOM blends.

Beauty Aura is another favorite, for a delicious, fruity collagen infusion."

6. Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon has worked with Aniston on both Friends and The Morning Show. She revealed to Forbes the reasons she uses Biossance on her skin. “I didn't realize how many ingredients were being harvested in unethical ways until I started seeing the data they had,” Witherspoon says. “Shark liver oil was being harvested by killing tons of sharks and disrupting the oceans. They were finding biotech solutions to these problems and creating sustainable products in very ethical ways by using sugarcane and not harming the environment. Also, women haven't always been at the forefront of talking about how products are made. Seeing this company that was so female forward and so environmentally forward was really encouraging and I was excited to be part of the Biossance family because of it.”

7. Gwyneth Paltrow

Aniston tagged Gwyneth Paltrow in an Instagram post celebrating her friends. Paltrow is known for healthy eating. She shared some of her diet secrets in an interview with Shape.

9. Drew Barrymore

Aniston’s friend, Drew Barrymore, talked about her diet with EatingWell. "I eat pretty clean for the most part, which is hard for me to say about other areas of my life. I'm getting better as I get older. I did not [always] take care of myself. I didn't workout or eat healthy, I didn't take care of myself, I probably drank too much. I worked too hard and was an extremist. I resented it when people told me to find the balance. It's different now and I feel like I'm in a much better place. I feel better and I like it. I know when it doesn't feel in balance. I am quick to notice it and get it back on track.”

10. Selena Gomez

She talked about what advice she’d give to others in an interview on the site. “I try and not look back and wish anything could have been different.

I am happy anyone reading this right now has a place to connect.”

11. Jason Bateman

Aniston vacations with Jason Bateman. The actor talked about his approach to work in an interview with Variety. “You cannot do it all by yourself,” he said. “You know from doing this as long as you’ve been doing it, what it takes to get all that sausage made. I like the responsibility and the pressure and the privilege to be able to oversee that whole process, and be the person that some people might be going to fix a problem or answer a question. That part was really, really fun. Do you have any desire to share the incredible amount of knowledge and information you’ve absorbed over all of these years in a lane different than the acting.”

12. Jimmy Kimmel

Aniston has gone on vacations with Jimmy Kimmel and appeared on his show. Kimmel talked about his diet and workout secrets with Men’s Journal. “With diet and exercise, there's no dipping my toe in the water — I'm all the way in. Then I'm all the way out. I decided I was going to have two protein shakes and a very small dinner every day. I did that for eight weeks, then I switched to a strict 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. I lost 25 pounds that way. Then, for a while, I'd eat a piece of salmon daily for lunch. Now the idea of eating salmon is revolting to me.”

13. Kristen Bell

Aniston notably went on vacation with Kristen Bell and other celebrities earlier this year. BWhen it comes to wellness, Bell doesn’t focus on her weight. “To me, being healthy means feeling good about the choices I'm making," she told Shape.

14. Dax Shepard

15. David Schwimmer

Aniston and David Schwimmer played love interests on Friends. He talked about how he navigated fame in an episode of Awards Chatter podcast. "The effect of celebrity was the absolute opposite: It made me want to hide under a baseball cap and not be seen. And I realized after a while that I was no longer watching people; I was trying to hide. So I was trying to figure out: How do I be an actor in this new world, in this new situation? How do I do my job? That was tricky."

16. Matt LeBlanc

Aniston’s Friends co-star, Matt LeBlanc, talked about his show Episodes to IndieWire. “So many comedies nowadays, you go, ‘Yeah, I can tell this is a comedy, but I don’t find myself laughing.’ Whereas I think this show was actually funny. There was some laugh-out-loud, really funny stuff — and some stuff where you’d just go, ‘Are you kidding me? What a lunatic. Who does that?’ There was some jaw-dropping stuff.”

17. Will Arnett
