Magnuson - Heft on Wheels - Approach - HELP

I feel like I might get yelled at for asking this, but I have a few questions.

I just finished reading Mike Magnuson's "Heft on Wheels" and it really spoke to me. As a bigger guy (6'4'' 275lbs) he really helped me to understand the plight of the big man.

Anyway - Mike, said that to jump start his diet that he drank, I'm assuming, protein shakes for 3 meals a day and was riding everyday.

1. Does anyone know what protein shakes he was consuming??
2. What sort of backlash/health issues could expect from this form of drastic diet change?
3. Is it something to consider, or is it something very dangerous and should be avoided?

I appologize if this offends anyone, and I'm not looking for a "quick fix", but I am trying to lose weight and increase my saddle time. Besides, a month or so of drastic dieting in the fashion would probably be less damaging than non-existent diet that I have been on for my entire life.

I would seriously appreciate any insightful comments/suggestions.
