Doubtful: In cases of malnourishment,, if not too long, when proper diet is restored catch-up growth can occur. It is hard these days to get too little protein but it is possible. Ask your doctor who knows your growth patterns and health history and can check to see if you have any vitamin or mineral deficiencies which need to be corrected.
