Someone that knows more about what I’m trying to talk about, thank you.best_audrina wrote:protein is the main muscle building nutrient so I think that does probably complicate things especially if she won't eat the formula that has the easy to digest protein to protect her liver.morganebony_ wrote: I’m torn about the diet. It’s clear Rosie is missing nutrients hence the prescription formula (that she took her off) and the talk of feeding tubes and g tubes.
I’m assuming humans need certain nutrients to build muscle. I’m not a doctor but I assume we don’t just build muscle, you need nutrients and exercise. That’s why gym junkies have very particular diets so they are getting muscle building nutrients.
If Rosie isn’t getting the nutrients she needs, it may not be possible for her to build the muscle she needs to be able to hold herself up. We need core muscles and neck muscles to hold ourselves and Rosie clearly doesn’t have those and may not be getting the nutritional requirements to develop them.
That being said, it may he nutrient based but it could also be exercise based. Obviously if you have nutrition, you still need exercise to build muscle. This could be achieved with PT but if acacia isn’t doing that, I don’t know what hope Rosie has. Even if she is getting nutrients she needs to be exercising to build muscle.
At the end of the day, we will never know. I doubt she would admit to never doing PT so it’s easy for her to blame it on the diet because it’s not like we can speak to her doctors. If Rosie gets a feeding tube/G tube and is still not building muscle mass, that’s when I’m going to be getting real worked up because diet is no longer an excuse.

I know so many people (not just OP, it happens frequently) write off the diet as an excuse. It definitely could be an excuse, but I genuinely think she is telling the truth.
If she isn’t getting enough protein to build muscle, she obviously won’t be able to support herself/hold herself up. Definitely exercise and PT plays a part, but if she can’t build muscle mass, the exercise isn’t going to be effective
