Diet Ratings

Keto2/10AVOID

Medium peach contains ~14g net carbs with high sugar content. Incompatible with keto despite moderate carb count due to sugar concentration.

Vegan9/10APPROVED

Whole plant food with no animal products or derivatives. Nutrient-dense stone fruit. Minimally processed.

Paleo8/10APPROVED

Whole stone fruit available to hunter-gatherers. Good micronutrient profile. Moderate natural sugars with fiber.

Mediterranean8/10APPROVED

Peaches are traditional Mediterranean summer fruits with vitamin C, fiber, and polyphenols. Moderate natural sugar content with good nutrient density makes them strongly encouraged.

Carnivore1/10AVOID

Plant-derived stone fruit with moderate sugar and carbohydrate content. Excluded from carnivore diet.

Whole309/10APPROVED

Whole fruit with no added ingredients. Explicitly compliant with Whole30 guidelines as a natural, unprocessed fruit.

Low-FODMAP2/10AVOID

Peaches are high in excess fructose and polyols (sorbitol). Monash University testing confirms high FODMAP content at all standard serving sizes during elimination phase.

DASH8/10APPROVED

DASH-approved fruit. Good source of potassium, vitamin C, and fiber. Low sodium. Supports cardiovascular health and blood pressure management.

Zone7/10APPROVED

Low-to-moderate glycemic index with good fiber content. Solid Zone fruit choice. Slightly higher carb density than berries but acceptable in standard portions with protein and fat.

Contains some polyphenols and vitamin C, but moderate sugar content and lower antioxidant density than berries. Acceptable in moderation. Skin contains more antioxidants than flesh.

iSome sources highlight peach polyphenols more favorably. However, Dr. Weil's anti-inflammatory guidance emphasizes berries and lower-glycemic fruits over stone fruits for inflammation management.

GLP-1 Friendly6/10CAUTION

Moderate fiber (1.5g per 100g), moderate natural sugar (9.5g per 100g), no protein. Reasonable sugar-to-fiber ratio. Easy to digest and hydrating (high water content). Acceptable in small portions but not optimal.

Controversy Index

Score range: 19/10. Higher controversy = more disagreement between diets.
