No he wouldn't be healthy, he would atrophy away because protein and fats are needed for such a wide variety of bodily functions. You can live with them your entire life without carbohydrates, not so in the reverse.

I doubt he would get all of the essential amino acids required for life so he would have most likely died a while ago. If he wasnt given nuts, beans, or rice i would bet that he would be dead.

Ok.. I agree we need protein and fats, but I didn't understand your last sentence. But now that I think about it your right.. need grains and nuts.

I'm reading about Multiple System Atrophy right now and it doesn't say anything about being caused by poor nutrition. It says the cause is unknown.
But I did find this page that lists all sorts of nutrients we need to survive and what happens if we don't get them. There's an entire grisly list.

If his diet was lacking in any of the essential amino acids his body wouldn't be able to function properly. Its as simple as that. Many cellular processes would become impossible and he would die. Vegetarians are able to avoid this by eating combinations of beans and grains, which alone are incomplete nutritionally, but together hold all of the amino acids which are required for life. A vegetable soup would almost surely lack at least one essential amino acid so if that was strictly his diet he would not survive.

Yeah, I'm thinking at this point he'll just be sipping soup along with the raw food thing and some beans and maybe bread.
Either way, it's a shitty way to eat every single meal.

You can live without carbohydrates as long as you are getting enough energy from fat and protein. You can't live without protein or fat.

Well, I didn't mean it like that. It's just that his food has no variety. He's eaten the exact same meal every day for 4 years and it's pretty bland.

You could always say beans are a component of the soup? Vegetable broth w/ beans - sounds horrible! Then give him some bread and maybe a fruit jam? I guess jam probably isn't healthy enough.... Just trying to throw out some ideas so his situation sounds as horrible as possible. Maybe they just give him the fruits that aren't good enough to sell? I don't really know what the story is so I don't know how that would fit.

He would definitely loose lots of weight, go into Ketosis and that could be quite dangerous with broth alone. He would probably lose a lot of hair too and possibly some teeth. He would be weak all the time. He'd probably wanna murder someone for torturing him so badly, due to his brain being deprived and all the numerous chemical imbalances, he could become psychotic.
If you gave him raw veggies and nuts, he'd be perfectly healthy. That would actually be an ideal, wholesome, well balanced diet.
Raw veggies alone could pose a problem. Lots of deficiencies may develop. But this would be far better than the broth alone. He could definitely survive and live fairly normal on this diet but he would be thin and deficient in many various nutrients.

hehe, thank you, that's what I'm trying to do. Make his life as miserable as possible without killing him and also still allow him to look somewhat presentable for his adoring public.
He is physically a 14 year old hermaphrodite, but he's only been alive for four years...long story, heh.

Thanks Krishna, it is a very long story...I am estimating I might have the entire thing written in 6 books. I'm only about a quarter-way through the first book because I keep re-editing to get it right. My goal is to have the first book done in a year. To give you an idea what it is like...I'm trying to make the psychedelic experience into a story. Like, if the psychedelic experience was an actual, living story, how would it be told?
I'm re-editing the opening chapter (again, heh) and I'll post it in the Arts and Literature forum when it is ready for public consumption.
