This is true, but it doesn't matter if people don't do it.
The danger of hyper-optimization is people just giving up altogether. That's why a lot of those intense diets don't work.
Does Keto work? Yes. But does it actually? No. Because being on Keto is very, very hard and people just give up. The vast majority of people who start Keto will not stick to it.
But switching out soda for diet soda is easy. So, if I'm inclined to give suggestions, I'd rather suggest that.
I'm not suggesting hyper-optimization. I'm suggesting a basic exercise program which includes resistance training and cardio.
For some, perhaps many or even most, that is a hyper-optimization IMO.
Hyper-...? I don't think you get how optimized and hyper-optimized exercise can get.
I'm talking about the basics. For anyone who wants to get benefit from exercise. If you think you're getting those benefits in some other way, you're lying to yourself or you don't understand what we're talking about.
