i do this at least 4 times a week...
but i just started about 2 weeks ago... and i lost like 8-10 pounds (which might be mostly water since i dont eat as much either)..
just wondering if such diet would help me keep losing weight and build up my muscles at the same time..

Protein diets are referred to as "Ketogenic Diets"
just eating protein/low carbs will prevent you from any gains because on effect of no carbs is dehydration and there is no way to compensate for it.
there are "Cyclical Ketogenic Diets" used by body builders to lose fat/maintain mass where they eat high carbs on weekends, low carb during the week
Lyle McDonald has a book called The Ketogenic Diet which is probably the best source of information and most well researched.
Dr Atkins does not
