Yes you will. Your body needs the amino acids in protein to rebuild muscle after a workout. If you intend to keep working out then you need protein otherwise your muscles will not rebuild and then they will deteriorate. If you just say "oh well then i wont lift weights", well then you will still lose muscle mass because you wont be working out. If you dont challenge your muscles they will shrink.

When starving yourself does it eat your muscle away and help get rid of it?

When dieting, not just when starving yourself, your muscles damage themselves while being used. The damage isn't as severe as tearing a muscle, but the tissue does need time to recover. If there's enough protein in the body, resting will allow the body to use the protein to repair the muscle tissue. If there isn't enough protein, the body may try to get it elsewhere, but in general it cannot convert other stored mass, such as fat, into protein. Thus you start to lose muscle tissue. This is '''not''' a healthy way to reduce muscle tissue.

Is it better to lose weight then drink protein to build muscule or should i lose weight and drink protein at the same time?

Why are you drinking protein? You should have a balanced diet, which means you're getting enough protein from your actual food. The exception is you being a vegan. I hope you know that drinking protein doesn't give you muscle, neither does working out. Protein and working out work together to give you muscle. First the working out rips your muscles, then the protein repairs it. And when it get repaired, it comes back stronger. Another thing to point out is that gaining muscle will give you more muscular weight, but it will make you lose the weight provided by the body fat. How does gaining muscle make you lose weight? The actual muscles and the act of working out keeps the metabolism going, and the metabolism burns calories. Your metabolism is how quickly the body turns food into energy.
