I don't understand the "cut what you love" part is all about if someone wouldn't mind elaborating onthat. :/

Same idea as "murder your darlings". Sometimes you write a passage that you just adore, and it doesn't quite fit with the story as a whole. So you need to cut it out, even though you love it and lavished so much attention on it.
