The war on cows is a war on us. Meat consumption is correlated with reduced heart disease.

It is also correlated to an increase in intelligence, and a meat based diet like Adkins or paleo can reduce body weight and reverse type II diabetes. Unnatural sugars like refined from sugar cane, sugar beets and corn are poison to the human system. We did not evolve on that kind of foods. We did not evolve on white flour. Anything that turns directly to sugar should be avoided, and meat fills the stomach helping kill that constant craving for sugar.

This is more due to the state of Ketosis which is present in those diets, than it is inherently to those diets themselves.
Nothing wrong with an Atkins/Paleo diet, but you're attributing the benefits of Ketosis to those diets instead of the direct attribute of Ketosis.
Nope it's not. I don't do ketosis but I eat a ton of meat and eggs but also tons of carbs to sustain my weight lifting regimen. Excellent insulin sensitivity.
For starters, you're just blatantly ignoring science with your, "nope it's not" remark.
But regardless, if you're doing a lot of physical exercise, then your ability to eat carbohydrates and remain in a state of ketosis (or going in and out of ketosis) is increased. Glucose can be stored in muscle throughout your body, and is depleted especially during anaerobic exercises such as weight lifting.
At a bare minimum, you're going in and out of ketosis if you're on something such as an Atkins or Paleo diet. If you're very active, it's likely that you're very frequently in a state of ketosis.
Oh, and the notion that you need to be eating carbs to, "sustain your weight lifting regimen" is ill founded - your body can make all the glucose it wants through Gluconeogenesis.
If you care to better educate yourself on the topic, here are some excellent resources which break down actual science and studies related to the matter:

I've done keto, and I've done the restricted diets of paleo, and Adkins. To get into ketosis and stay there is very difficult.
The other two diets don't even try to take you that far. You are still burning glucose, and your blood sugar will flucuate with how well you have limited your intake of the wrong foods. I don't believe you ever actually get into ketosis on those diets. I am type II diabetic, and I keep a pretty close eye on what I can eat and what I cannot. I don't stay in a great range all the time, but I know what foods are causing the problems when I go off the farm.
Look into Intermittent Fasting. My husband is doing both keto & intermittent fasting and its reducing his blood sugar levels. Also are you doing keto correctly? It needs to be high fat, moderate protein. Too much protein and it is converted into sugar (gluconeogenesis). We did too much protein at first and that did not work for us. Doing keto & IF brought both husband's A1C down and got him off his blood pressure medications.
Any time my blood sugar tops 130 I don't eat for 24 hours. It takes it right down. I fasted three days to get into my current cycle. I have gone as long as five days.
People that do not fast do not understand what it can do for their sugar levels or their weight.
I am not trying to stay on a keto diet. My doctor had told me that she guarantees that a paleo diet will take most people's blood sugar down to good levels. She was right.
Also use the right kinds of fats. Do not do vegetable oils like sunflower, canola, safflower. The best fats are Pork Lard, Duck Fat, Chicken Fat, Beef Tallow and for uncooked oil like salad oils you can use Olive Oil. Organic butter by pasture raised cows also and Coconut oil.
Please research amd consider adding Gymnema Sylvestre to your diet. It is considered nature's metformin and in India, the name of this plants translates to "Sugar Destroyer".
That's not even remotely true. It's simply the state of your body using fat for energy (ketone bodies) as opposed to glucose. That happens whenever you limit carbohydrate intakes.
Sure, but they are both fairly low carb diets. An atkins diet is explicitly such, as you're almost exclusively eating meat. Atkins diets will always result in a state of ketosis, and most applications of paleo limit carbs where you will be in and out of ketosis depending on exactly what you choose to eat.
I don't believe you understand what ketosis actually is. You should really check these resources out - they break down studies and actual science on the topics we're discussing:

I highly recommend Dr Eric Westman and Dr Ken Berry. Dr Berry was type II diabetic and put it into remission. Instead of a diet, (going on and off a way of eating) one needs to change their way of eating. A lifestyle change for the rest of their life. That is where the sustaining starts. Changing the thoughts about food and relationship with it. Food is fuel for our bodies, not a reward or comfort, or a way to avoid a situation. Food is fuel.
My son's favorite saying about diet, "eat to live not live to eat".
Right now I am controlled. This mornings blood sugar 101, which is a good day for me, but the highest days had gotten to double that before I changed my ways.
