what to eat when on PTTP Program?

I was at the gym today and met up with a old high school buddy. He really transformed himself from a skinny punk to a mini hercules. When I asked him his secret the guy starts running down a whole bunch of supplements from GNC like Muscle Milk, N02, Whey protein etc.

Then I just thought to myself what does the part think about these types of supplements and what do you guys use when on PTTP cycle for "strength"?

What is interesting though is had water baloon muscle, kind that Pavel talked about. And even though he looked so big he could not even bench 200lbs. Now I know i can either, but I can bench 180lbs but i am skinny as can be. this guys has a big build but cant push 200?

what you guys eat? do you follow a specific diet? paleo?
