A link to the article or site where this guy says this would be nice, it would be cool to see the scientific evidence that he is using to support this.
It would also be interesting to see the eating pattern of the people that lost the muscle, were they getting enough fat and protein in their diets.
In my experience, many overweight people choose weight lifting over cardio because it is easier to do at first, and they make up a million excuses why it is better, yet months later, they are still fat, with perhaps more muscle trapped under it.
But, usually the people I have seen that take up cardio lose the weight, and become thinner, but this could simple be because those that are willing to choose the initially more difficult path, are the ones that are a bit more serious about weight loss.
In the end it is about personal choice in what you like and what you believe in.
For me though, at the end of the day, I would rather be able to go out and run up several flights of stairs, or play soccor with my kids without losing my breath, than to bench press twice my weight, but finding some balance between the two might be cool too.
But that is just my preference.
