Guess I've probably been losing just as much muscle as fat. Guess he's been in biz a while and I'll have to trust it...

Do you have a lot of weight to lose? It seems to me that the ones who are gaining weight, are the ones who don't have a lot to lose in the first place (please correct me nrol4w members if I'm wrong). If you're used to a low calorie diet, your body might want to start grabbing on to those calories as soon as you start eating more.
If you're actually overweight, like me, your body will want to regain a healthy balance, and the metabolism boost caused by lifting is going to work in your favour.
Try it and see what happens in stage 1. Listen to your body. Rest when you're tired. Eat when you're hungry, give your body good food. Everyone has a different experience with it.
