I was wondering today, "whts th difference between Atkins' and Paleo Diet except restriction of carbs quantity" ???
I really couldn;t understand why some people say Paleo is good while others are happy with Atkins while to me both seem same.

Second question, using these diets, when a person starts seeing fall in his/her weight??

    Paleio allows more fruit, relies on lower fats, excludes all dairy. I do Atkins and I lost 9 pounds the first week - started at 170.

    Regardless of what you choose the only way you are gonna drop weight is by eating at a deficit. Whether it is with carbs or not it won't change a thing.

    As for the difference between them sorry, can't be of much help I never looked into them.

    The main difference is no Dairy - a few other minor changes like no legumes.
