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.
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.
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.
