Exercise help!

So I really want to start working out, and my end game is to get fit. I want to do some resistance training to build some muscle and all of that, however I do not know how effective that will be on the low carb eating I do. I want to stay around 30g/day, and not exceed 50, but I don't know how this will translate into mucle growth... Any advice is welcome. Thanks guys!

I was sleeved on Dec 2, 2013 and started exercising when they gave me the all clear. I walk 30 minutes on the treadmill at a good clip 5 days a week, some weight machines and this ab machine and I'm down 50lbs! Just walk .. 30 minutes. Does the trick!

First off, I'm not a doctor, and I would advise talking to one before you change anything you are currently doing. But I don't think carbs have a big effect on muscle growth. Carbs just convert to sugar, and thus are used as energy or converted into fat (stored energy). Toning/building muscle is going to depend more on your Protein intake.
