Low Carb Thai Beef Salad

I love the taste of this salad and I love it that it is healthy too. Beef is important for your health because it is packed with iron. I know all of you vegetarians out there will argue that you can get your iron elsewhere, and you are right, but my personal preference is to eat lean beef mostly because it tastes good.

Many people swear by a low carb diet and they often don't distinguish between good carbs and bad carbs. A low good carb diet will add to your menopausal symptoms because when you are unhealthy your hormone levels will go out of wack and you'll feel it. It is very easy to know the difference between good carbs and bad, just think of healthy food in general and unhealthy food. The healthy food will always have good carbs in it.
