That all depends. Minimum amount to cover the body? Average male? Average female? I mean, you can gold plate your tongue for about $2 USD, but we're gonna need specifics. The average male bodies surface area is about 1.9m^2 (According to wikipedia), and according to its Amazon page one sheet about 9in^2 and weights a total of 0.3 ounces for the whole pack, so 0.3 divided by 25 sheets means that each sheet weighs about 0.012 ounces. So if 1.9 square meters, is 2945 square inches, then you would need 327.22222222222222222222222222 sheets to cover a human males body, which equates to about $654, or about 4 ounces of gold. My math is probably wrong, but thats what I got. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Gold leaf isn't very valuable
Major ripoff. You can buy gold leaf on Amazon for half that price (or, more accurately, twice as much for the same price), at $2 each.
If you want to go in bulk, you can buy them for $1.20 each.
The gold will definitely come out in his shit, but if I had to guess, it will be extremely tiny pieces. Gold leaf is around .2 microns thick, so it's going to break up into a billion .2 micron thick little pieces. I suppose you could take all the shit and burn it and melt out the gold leaf. I think it would be fairly challenging to recover any sizable amount.
More importantly, there is very little gold to start with. He says in the video they used about "$350 of gold", but I believe they really meant "$350 worth of gold leaf."
$350 of gold would be a little more than a 1/4 ounce of gold (about 9 grams).
$350 worth of golf leaf, probably means they bought 7 of these, which would be 175 sheets of gold leaf, approx 3" x3". The weight of gold leaf is about 18 grams per 1,000 leaves. So at max, he ate about 3 grams of gold or about $100 of gold. Well... now I'm reconsidering things, $100 is a $100
