1. Incredibly tasty

Thai cooking is all about balancing the four key flavours of salty (fish sauce), sour (limes), sweet (sugar) and spicy (chillies). It has BIG flavours.
A lot of Thai food is so flavourful that you don't need to eat as much to feel satisfied and also, and importantly, it's not dependent on fats for the flavour.
2. Mostly gluten free

A Thai diet is rice-based rather than wheat-based.
So it is naturally good for gluten-free diets and those looking to cut down on eating wheat.
Rice is the staple of Thai cooking. Even the words for eating, for having a meal, 'gin kao' means literally 'eat rice'. Rice is more easily digestible than wheat carbohydrates such as bread and pasta, and suitable for those on a gluten-free diet.
