I did not say 'eliminate fat'. I said 'limit'. I should have been as descriptive as CFD, he explained the fat types and percentages very well.
I do agree with most of your post.
If your are gonna have sugars, stick to natural sugars. As said in CFD post, it would be best not to have any.
You shouldn't just think of weight training as gaining muscle only. Weight training can help keep your metabolism up (this is a proven fact). It depends on how you lift. Light weights and high reps can help with weight loss.
Heavy weights and low reps is for mass and strength.
