Will cutting carbs help my muscles grow faster?
Short answer: no. As effective as high-protein diets are for losing weight, you still need carbs and fat for maximum muscle growth. Your body uses carbs for energy during exercise. If your cache of carbs is low, your body will use protein as an alternate fuel source, and your muscles won't grow as much as they would if you were feeding them a cocktail of protein and carbs. As for the fat, it's vital for the production of muscle-building testosterone. (Studies show that guys who eat higher-fat diets also have higher testosterone levels.)

我认为这句话结构怪异, paraphrase 后, 句子意思是这样的:
High-protein diets are as effective for maximum muscle growth as for losing weight, but you still need carbs and fat for maximum muscle growth.
虽然高蛋白减肥餐在促进肌肉生长方面的效果, 同其减肥效果一样好, 但你仍需摄入(足量的) carbs and fat, 才能保证肌肉的最大限度生长.

另一种解读, 看看哪个fits your context more.
句子可改写为:
Although you are having something as effective as high-protein diets for losing weight, you still need carbs and fat for maximum muscle growth.
Although you are having something 被省略了. Something 和 high-protein diets 是同位语.
虽然你吃了高蛋白减肥餐这样的减肥效果相当好的食物-->虽然你用了吃高蛋白减肥餐这样一种效果相当好的减肥方法, 但你仍需...
这里的转折关系很牵强, 看不出减肥和肌肉生长的关系. 也许作者想说, 有人可能会认为, 高蛋白减肥餐的减肥效果, 好到不至于影响肌肉生长, 而作者指出这是错误观念, 你仍需摄入(足量的) carbs and fat, 才能保证肌肉的最大限度生长.
