This is mind-bogglingly horrible advice.

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated (specifically omega-3) is good for you. Monounsaturated fats decrease LDL without affecting HDL or TG. Polyunsaturated fats decrease LDL, and only decrease HDL minimally without affecting TG. Low LDL, high HDL, and low TG decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Also to note, you want a high ratio of omega 3 : omega 6, as it decreases inflammation in the body and therefore decreases the risk of CVD as well.
Saturated fats are never good for you. They raise LDL substantially. So no, bacon and fatty steaks are still terrible for you.

Leafy greens aren't 'complex carbs'. Complex carbohydrates are whole GRAINS (not whole wheat, although it's better than white) and oats.
If you're cutting carbohydrates and exercising with any regularity, you're probably going to start feeling fatigued pretty quickly from a lack of liver and muscle glycogen stores. Not to mention how tough it is to maintain a low carb diet.

I'm assuming you meant drink a gallon of milk a day. Classic pseudo-knowledgeable, beginner weightlifter internet advice bullplop.
Milk is good. A gallon of it.. not so much.

The substrate used for energy depends on the intensity of the exercise you are performing and its respiratory exchange ratio. So no, there's no way a diet can somehow magically melt fat off and spare, say, glycogen stores. Calories are indiscriminate; you live at a deficit and you lose weight. Simple.

Haha cheat day. Good one. Weight loss isn't about a battle of wills with you and food, it's about lifestyle changes and education. If you know exactly how and why something is bad for you, there's a good chance you won't eat it.
