You were under the impression that fat loss leads to weight loss or vice versa but it seems both are different - can anyone explain the difference?
When you talk about "weight loss" that takes into account everything in your body. Things like organs, bones, muscle and fat. When you talk about "fat loss" this specifically is how much fat you have in your body your have lost. This is why it's important when weighing your self to understand that that is your total body weight. Once you know your body fat percentage you can figure out how much of your total body weight is fat.
What are some of the drawbacks of a fat burning diet?
Weight loss is accomplished through the burning of fat for calories, which happens when the body uses more calories in the course of a day than it has taken in. All weight loss involves the burning of fat. Without "fat burning," there is no weight loss. "Fat burning" is the only kind of diet there is that will result in the reduction of body weight.

How do i loss fat in the arms?
There is no way to reduce fat from any one area of the body alone. This type of "Spot Reduction" is a myth. Your body loses fat from all areas of the body equally. Doing arm exercises will firm and tone up the muscle under the fat, but has no direct effect on the fat itself. General weight loss is the ONLY way to lose weight from any area of the body.
Does not eating enough calories sabotage your effort to lose weight?
Yes it does. Low calorie intake reduces your motivation to do exercise, and over an extended period causes the body to release fat more slowly (starvation defense mechanism), reducing the fat-loss effectiveness of exercise. Note the difference between weight loss and fat loss - the techniques to tackle the two are not entirely the same.

Why do you lose your breasts first when you lose weight?
This is just an educated guess, but I'm betting that you lose the same percentage (say, 10%) of fat everywhere in your body when you lose weight. In a place where you have little fat and lots of muscle, 10% of fat loss wouldn't be very obvious. Because your breasts are mostly fat, 10% of fat loss would be much more obvious, making it seem like you're losing more weight/losing weight first in your breasts.
