Yeah, I'll do a little article on the pulldown bar when I get back to Austin.
To answer your questions, Dan :
1. I ate a ton of protein including chicken, fish, and whey protein. The diet is actually pretty well suited to mass building.
2. I haven't tried doing it, but I assume it's possible. I eat a lot of high protein foods like almonds and flax seeds. Consider that very strong animals like gorillas follow this diet.
