"Pentagon eyes controversial diet in bid to build more lethal warriors"
"Ditching carbs [carbohydrates] may be the key to military success in America’s future wars".
"Top Pentagon officials say research has shown that human bodies in ketosis — the goal of the popular and controversial ketogenic diet — can stay underwater for longer periods, making the fat- and protein-heavy eating plan a potential benefit to military divers. It is one example of a rapidly growing trend as military researchers zero in on how nutrition and certain drugs can enhance how fighting men and women perform in battle."
Personally I am not so familiar with the ketogenic diet. Other than it is controversial. Allows navy divers are able to function in a much more effective manner?
Drugs of course too work and are quite effective in many instances but also have serious problems with dependencies and altering your state of behavior for the worst in the long run.
I guess the idea is - - in lieu of something better, go with it??
