yes, this is true. Following this plan would do two things:
1) You'd on avg get about 400 calories of exercise per day (factoring in that some days you lift and do cardio and other days you have as off days).
2) By living an active lifestyle your metabolic rate will increase most likely to atleast 3,000Kcal/day to sustain your weight
3) As your lean body mass increases; that metabolic rate will continue to increase.
So...in theory you could eat a full 2500 calorie diet that is not full of fat...but still very satisfying. In your first month I would guess your calorie deficit would be upwards of 20,000 calories your first month and more like 30,000 in subsequent months with your metabolism increased.
3 Months of this and would have lost over 20lbs while increasing your lean body mass. You'd feel great and feel naked without a daily sweat. The hardest part is getting started....but a close second is stopping once you get rolling
