"eat less, move more" is not a goal, it is something, like a side effect, of changing something else, namely, avoiding sugar. At least it works that way for me.

Wisdom at its finest. I never counted calories when I first started serious low carb, as I'm just a simple person, so keeping it simple fits my personality. Strangely, as I became fat adapted, I developed a "full" switch (or regained it is probably the most accurate statement) that made me want to stop eating during a meal. Once I realized I had a signal that was accurate when I could eat no more, it reinforced my simple approach. I like the "side effect" term, as that "full switch" came about after I had some history eating the foods that best fit what for me is a healthy diet. Desire to increase physical activity came next, and I now look forward to it. Another side effect of eating correctly? You bet. Does physical activity (movement) improve my health? You bet. Is physical activity critical for weight loss? No.
