While it was technically a study on semi-starvation, the specific food the men were given to survive consisted almost entirely of carbohydrates and sugars, and several of the subjects famously suffered severe mental breakdowns ("went crazy").

| 5 | 4 | * The Diet: To simulate what starving Europeans were eating during World War II, 36 healthy men were put on a grueling 6-month restriction. Their meals were strictly limited to carbohydrate-heavy foods: potatoes, root vegetables, bread, macaroni, and turnips. They were given almost no fat or meat. [2, 3, 4] | |
| 6 | 5 | * The Cognitive & Psychological Collapse: Because their brains and bodies were severely deprived of fats, proteins, and essential nutrients while running purely on a calorie-deficient carbohydrate deficit, the men suffered extreme psychological deterioration. [2, 3] | |

| 14 | 11 | * Self-Harm: One subject, 24-year-old Sam Legg, became so mentally unhinged and distressed by the carbohydrate starvation that he intentionally chopped off three of his own fingers with an axe while doing chore work. [3] | |
| 15 | 12 | * Psychosis and Violence: Another subject, unhinged by the diet, began having severe psychiatric breakdowns, experiencing vivid hallucinations, and threatening to murder Dr. Ancel Keys, forcing the staff to commit him to a psychiatric ward. | |

| 18 | 14 | When the men were finally allowed to eat normally again during the refeeding phase, many experienced extreme binge-eating episodes, eating up to 10,000 calories a day because their brains' reward centers had been completely broken by the trial. [1, 2] | |
