New Year's Eve is just days away, which means it's time for us to pretend we're going to improve our life for a month or so.

And what better way to do that than imitating the healthy living habits of celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, right?

It's definitely not the money and resources that keep those people beautiful! This will totally work!

Anyway, if you enjoy deluding yourself, as I do, you could try out Gwyneth Paltrow's diet, which includes kale, lemon, mint, ginger, apple, water and -- mercifully — pinot noir.

Gwyneth, who is on the cover of InStyle magazine's upcoming February issue, revealed a few healthy eating tips to Editor-in-Chief Laura Brown in some short video sketches.

First, Gwyneth helps Laura make one of her signature healthy green smoothies.

Laura, clearly in the New Year's resolution state of mind already, takes a sip of the drink and jokes,

I just became a better person.

But it's not just about eating right — you've got to get some exercise in there, too.

In the next video, Laura attempts to keep up with Gwyneth in yoga, but it doesn't quite go as planned.

After a few attempts, and a nice long lie-down, both ladies decide that yoga — and being Gwyneth Paltrow in general — is just too hard.

Instead, they split a bottle of pinot noir, and as she pours it out, Gwyneth says,

This is actually exactly how to be Gwyneth Paltrow. Pinot noir.

Well, there you have it folks, straight from the woman herself: The only real way to be Gwyneth Paltrow is to drink a lot of wine.

Being Gwyneth Paltrow sounds pretty good to me! (Except for the whole "I'm so excited that Trump is president" thing. Yikes.)

Of course, the older that Gwyneth gets, the less she worries about what "being Gwyneth Paltrow" even means.

She told InStyle,

When I turned 40, I felt like I got this free software upgrade that I wasn't expecting. It just happened. Suddenly I was like, 'Oh, this is fantastic: I don't care! I like myself, and I'm just going to live my life. I'm going to stop worrying and tearing myself down.'

Cool, so my New Year's resolutions are 1) drink lots of wine and 2) don't give a crap.

Thanks, Gwyneth!
