Which is true at first, especially more muscle mass, but engaging in these combinations of long-term, steady-state aerobic exercise and extreme caloric deficits, you'll most likely lose a lot of muscle in addition to (or instead of!) fat mass. This was my situation when I crash-dieted while wrestling in high school, and it's a real b!tch for me to put on any lean mass, especially in my upper body (noodle arms here).
As Lisa mentioned, Newman is the guy to talk to. Just my two cents.
