This may appear counterintuitive to somebody, but your basal metabolic rate increases with your lean body mass. In turn a higher metabolic rate will support your weight loss during the recovery days. Which is to say that exercising is of essence – As well as creating a caloric deficit, while insuring a sufficient protein intake.
Be sure to define a personal plan with your nutritionist.
I tried this years back, but found that the metabolic rate increase alone won't do the trick. The difference in calories burned is so small that it can be offset by eating a few bites more. And one will be more hungry.
The most effective way to lose weight is to reduce caloric intake. You don't need to burn calories that you don't consume. It is really easy to reduce daily caloric intake by, say, 500 kcal. But it is much harder to burn 500kcal extra each day.
