I don't believe this is true unless you have a medical condition. For the healthy individual there's a formula for everything. One of the most important things to understand is weight loss = cal surplus vs deficit. If you fully understand how that works with the foods you're eating and calories you're burning a day, you can work towards whichever goal you're trying to achieve.

I agree with what you wrote above, but what I meant by everyone's body reacts differently to exercises (and you can inclue foods/dieting too imo) was this.
Some people can do nothing but calisthenics and manage to put on significant muscle mass without ever having to do heavy lifting. Some people can do tons of curl reps and never get massive biceps, some people can eat specific foods and thrive better off them than other foods, etc.
Genetics and body chemistry is different from person to person, so I was just meaning that some of the things people may suggest might work for them but not work so well for others.
That's why it's helpful to try suggestions, but to also understand just because one thing seems to not work for you, then it's not a matter of it being bullshit, it's just a matter of that specific exercise or diet change not working for you individually.
