When someone is significantly overweight, it's nothing to lose five pounds of bad weight in a month with a little exercise and proper portion control. There is no way in hell that this same person is packing on more than five pounds of muscle in a week. I don't give a **** if you're on roids. It's simply not happening. It's nothing more than living in denial/making excuses.

Not sure if anyone even said that. If they are working out hard and eating good food, they will recomp a lot. Their scale weight may not drop as FAST as a crash diet, but they will be increasing their LBM at a better rate, all while building some srength. Someone that fat can get away with eating well under maintenance and actually build some muscle because of the high surplus of energy he is already carrying.
