Weight Loss
It is amazing that both Louie and Phil were able to survive despite the large amount of weight they lost. Both men had lost over half of their weight. After being rescued from the raft by the Japanese, Phil weighed 80 pounds and Louie weighed either 67, 79.5, or 87 pounds (Hillenbrand 181). Louie and Phil manage to stay alive despite the small amount of food and water they are given while being held hostage. They continued to lose even more weight and resembled "a dead body breathing" according to Louie. On a website, I found that the actors chosen to play the parts of Louie and Phil had to lose weight, so they properly resembled them.The actors said they often felt extremely tired. One actor lost 30 pounds to play his role. http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/2014/10/unbroken-cast-angelina-jolie Do you think Louie and Phil will recover from such an extreme weight loss?

I think Louie and Phil will easily recover from such extreme weight loss I think the trauma that went through with loosing all the weight and being stranded will linger with them but as for gaining the weight, once they are able to obtain food again I think they will overload on food and easily gain back that weight they lost.
