Can you really burn 1200-1400 calories doing the normal everyday occurrences? It just seems like to make it work you need to either workout for hours and hours a day, or eat <1500 calories a day.

Just to give you an example (and it depends on weight) but a person who weighs ~180lbs will lose ~600 calories with 8 hours of sleep. Then you go to work and sit for 6 hours a day burning another ~800 calories.
So with your workout, sitting at work and sleeping you have burned your 2200 calories in 15 hours of your 24 hour day. So in those other 9 hours of walking, watching TV, etc. you are burning excess calories for that day.
