Of course, diet will be a minor or even useless factor if the other two fundamental pillars such as sleep and physical activity are not respected. The genetic thing is a fact, the more muscular or larger someone's legs are, the greater the difficulty and pain there will be in lengthening them, by the way, Greekster and Growing had commented something similar.
During the lengthening process, I averaged like 4 hours of sleep a night due to discomfort and pain at night. I also was in the wheelchair like 99% of the time. I think I averaged under 100 steps on the walker per day. That was the extent of my physical activity.
Yet, I had signs of pre-mature consolidation and had to lengthen 1.33 and then later 1.66 mm a day to reach my goal of 8cm.
I had enough bone growth to be able to walk unassisted after 4 months even after lengthening 8cm.
It's really luck of the draw and mostly genetic. Things like taking calcium tablets, eating more, walking more, and so on help, but not by a huge amount.
