I've heard this on here before and just saw this:

Obviously not the strongest source, but they do cite to real articles and studies.

I understand that body building and muscle gain in large amounts is probably not possible while losing weight, but gaining some muscle and losing weight do not seem to be mutually exclusive of each other.
