Any exercise: Any exercise particularly weight training would help. However a 1000 calorie-diet is difficult to maintain for long and thus you may consider a more moderate approach for long-term benefits. You may lose a lot (mostly from water loss) with this extreme diet but will likely gain even more weight after you stop dieting.

Do not do it.: To use one pound you need about minus 3000 to 5000 kcal. 800 kcal a day may be really dangerous for your body.Do it more gadually.
