Yes if you are a beginner you can loose fat while gaining lean muscle mass. No, if you are very experienced (and serious?)
The problem is that the body cannot anabolize and catabolize in the same time.
Please do a search, lots of great posts about this subject.

Yes, Nina is right. I had lost quite a bit of weight and gained a few pounds of muscle. Remember though to keep your cardio moderate.
