Follow our Primal Paleo Blog, the journey of two guys trying to figure out and make the Paleo Diet work in real world conditions!
Many people start associating a diet lacking in carbohydrates to Atkins. The biggest difference between the two is that the Atkins diet doesn’t specify the quality of any food items. The meat you eat on Atkins doesn’t have to be cage-free, grass-fed or non-hormone injected. The only real demand of Atkins is to restrict your net carbs.
Eating Paleo is a complete lifestyle transformation, not just a diet. It’s designed to transform your health, nutrition and increase your fitness.
The Atkins diet restrikes carbohydrates, thereby causing the body’s metabolism to switch from burning sugar (or glucose) to burning stored body fat.
