Why Diets Disagree on Couscous
DASH classifies couscous as Allowed because it evaluates foods by sodium content and DASH serving targets. AIP, on the other hand, classifies it as Not Allowed because it evaluates by whether the food contains compounds AIP suspects of provoking immune activity. Different diets use different evaluation criteria, which is why the same food can receive opposite classifications. 5 diets classify couscous as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
