Can You Eat Pretzels on a Low-Carb Diet?

You should not eat traditional pretzels. If you're following a low-carb diet but crave something like pretzels, consider looking for alternatives that are specifically designed to be low in carbs.

These might include snacks made from almond flour or coconut flour, which are much lower in carbs than wheat flour. There are also commercially available low-carb snacks designed to mimic the crunch and satisfaction of eating pretzels.

 Alternatively, focusing on whole-food snacks like nuts, seeds, cheese, and vegetables can satisfy the need for a snack without exceeding carb limits.
