How stunt took its toll

Time spent in box: 1,056 hours

Water drunk: 176 litres

Urine produced: 132 litres

Weight loss: 60lb

External physical effects of starvation: Hollow face, thin arms,
fat near buttocks

Effect on metabolism: He will not feel very hungry

Sex drive: Will remain diminished by starvation for at least a week

Weight change: Could become obese, like some ex-cancer patients
and concentration camp survivors

Immune system: Not working due to lack of leptin hormone

Delusions: Significant risk of psychosis due to starvation, living
in a confined space and lack of social interaction

Suicide risk: Possibility he will be deranged and unintentionally kill
himself — a side effect of starvation

Hearing: He could suffer from ‘cortical deafness’. Despite being
able to hear clearly, his brain may not process the information,
making him clumsy and irrational

Breath: Will smell slightly sweet due to lack of sugar in blood

Bones: Inactivity can cause irreversible damage, resulting in
osteoporosis later in life

Major organs: Shrunk due to a lack of use and protein — except for
brain, which may be swollen because of salts being required
elsewhere
