I say BS - that's my professional opinion.
None of the articles mention his body temperature. If he's anything over room temperature then his body is producing heat from metabolic activity. If his body is metabolically active (which is not surprising because he's breathing and moving skeletal muscle) then there should be raw material to metabolize as fuel - usually that's food, water and air. In the absence of one or more the body will catabolize fat stores and protein from muscle tissue ... which is called starvation. I say it's BS.
If this guy can sustain himself without food or water I say we hook him up to a treadmill so he can power up a whole village so the kids can play XBox for several years.
