I would like to understand the similarities and differences between the Atkins and low carb paleo diet, as practised by many. I see two important differences: that paleo stresses the value of pasture raised (if possible also organic) meat, dairy and eggs and also that paleo puts a great value on the Omega 3 versus Omega 6 balance. Beyond those two valuable differences, it seems to me that those who practice low carb paleo follow a diet almost identical to Atkins. Am I right or are there other important differences?

Atkins and (low carb) Paleo

I would like to understand the similarities and differences between the Atkins and low carb paleo diet, as practised by many. I see two important differences: that paleo stresses the value of pasture raised (if possible also organic) meat and also that paleo puts a great value on the Omega 3 versus Omega 6 balance. Beyond those two valuable differences, it seems to me that those who practice low carb paleo follow a diet almost identical to Atkins. Am I right or are there other important differences?
