You have to realize, to loose weight you are going to have to be in a caloric deficit. Short form. You will be hungry. Your theory on muscle being burned is partially correct. To correct this, continue strength training and eat enough protein during your diet. The fat will go, you will be happy, your gf will be happier.
Good luck.

Hmm, so I know this is over-simplified and the numbers may vary, but what you are saying:
Cutting calories and feeling hungry =
20% of energy the body needs comes from muscle
80% of energy the body needs comes from fat
To counter, str training and protein, counters roughly 15%, so I will lose:
5% muscle mass
80% fat mass
Like I said, the numbers are fudge, but this is the concept?
Thanks for the quick response
