Low-carb and no-carb diets have enjoyed tremendous popularity as a weight-loss strategy. Often they can produce quick and dramatic results, but those short-term benefits are outweighed by rebound weight gain. When the body is starved for carbohydrates, it will initially derive glucose by breaking down the storage form of glucose (glycogen) stored in the muscles and liver and releasing it into the bloodstream as glucose.

If you were completely without food, there is enough glycogen stored in your muscles and liver to supply your bloodstream with glucose for about two days (much less if you are exercising during starvation). If starvation continues after this stored glycogen is gone, the body will sacrifice tissues and organs containing protein, and that protein is broken down into glucose by the liver so that blood glucose never goes below the level required to sustain life. In addition, the brain switches gears a bit and is able to burn not only glucose for energy, but also compounds known as ketones.

This energy source is produced in the liver from fatty acids. Ketones have a strong characteristic odor and are the reason many people following a low-carb diet experience bad breath similar to the breath of alcohol intoxication.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
