Carbs and Fiber in Pretzel Twists Food Item: Pretzel Twists Pretzel Twists and DietNot recommended by lower carb diets, pretzels (like Pretzel Twists) are typically high in calories (sometimes high in sodium) and low in dietary fiber and nutrition. Moreover, pretzels made from refined white flour (refined carbs), are high on the Glycemic Index, which means they cause a rapid rise in blood-glucose levels, leading to excessive insulin production and a sudden drop in blood sugar. The longer-term health effects of eating high-GI foods include obesity and other symptoms, known collectively as insulin resistance syndrome. Increased risk of diabetes is another possibility. Bottom line: if you want to lose weight and stay healthy, keep your intake of pretzels and other refined white-flour carbs to a minimum. And if you must eat a pretzel, choose one made with whole wheat or wholegrain flour. For more details about carbs in pretzels, see below. Note: Nutritional values in pretzels and similar refined white flour-type snacks can vary, so the above carbohydrate details for Pretzel Twists are intended as a guideline only. |
