Why Diets Disagree on Pesto
Diabetic-Friendly classifies pesto as Allowed because it evaluates foods by glycemic impact and blood sugar effect. Carnivore, on the other hand, classifies it as Not Allowed because it evaluates by whether the food comes from an animal. Different diets use different evaluation criteria, which is why the same food can receive opposite classifications. 20 diets classify pesto as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
