I started weight traning about the same time i started atkins. Although i have lost alot of fat, i cannot seem to add any muscle, although i am on an intense weight training program, 5 days a week. My trainer told me that although protein is the building blocks for muscle, your muscles need to have carbs stored in order to break down and rebuild.. Ive researched this alot, and all literature i have read on building muscle talks about the importance of carbs in the muscle building process.

can anyone post some input on this?
