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:
