However, especially for people without an extensive workout history and/or are not lifting extensive weights, you should lose weight in the form of fat faster than you gain it in the form of muscle (especially early).

That's what I meant was for people who are working out extensively... I should have mentioned that. But I gave the example of Biggest Loser because they mostly measured with weight loss, not BMI (I forgot what that stands for but I know it has to do with body fat).
