You can lose fat and lean tissue with diet solely
You can lose fat and gain muscle with exercise (cardio) solely
You can lose fat by body building, and eating the same. Burns some calories, and increased muscle mass burns an increased amount of calories
You can lose fat with lipo

The best way would be to do cardio, some weight training, and change your diet around (or so I hear :)

You cannot gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, you either gain both or lose both. It is all about controlling it though.

Where is this proven? I have seen numerous people with a good diet and workout plan lose weight and body fat and gain muscle.

There's always liposuction if you really don't feel like putting forth any effort.

Where did they start from (height, weight, bf%)? Someone who is overweight and new to training can most likely do both at the same time. However, if you are experienced and already have 200+ lbs. of LBM and are trying to cut down to < 10% bf, good luck trying to build muscle at the same time. It just isn't going to happen without the addition of drugs or superior genetics.
