No Janine; you're quite normal.

As 'normal' as me anyway!

Yep! I agree in full Craig! It must be a hard challenging job for those online trainers who have never met you, (and are going by one's photos and answers to their questionnaires) to deviate a nutritional 'plan' and exercise 'plan' for their clients to get the results they want! Some complain cause when their mate gets awesome results following some program, they don't!
Trainers do so well!

I know for one if I eat 6 meals with a fist size serve of lean carbs at each and a palm sized serve of lean protein I feel a bit full and bloated and not yet hungry by the next meal despite always being very active in my life. Maybe the way to go if wanting to build muscle like some use that program for! But for fatloss I feel portions need to be downsized for me! 4 meals like this a day suit me fine. Maybe some fruit or natural yoghurt of raw vegies if hungry between a meal for me. Or I can get away with eating a filled multigrain salad and lean protein roll at lunch, - active very busy time of day but then vegies or salad with protein at tea which seems to fit my lifestyle.

It's amazing how different things effect different people. Once I was told I'd need to stop my running to help with fatloss, just focus on weights with minimal powerwalking to get lean! Running I was told would waste my muscle away but still hold my fat by someone who never met me! As well as strength, cardiovascular ability is something I pride myself on! I'm with you, every activity affects everyone differently!

Hi Cladia.

That’s a good thing to learn. Our body always knows what it needs. We (our mind) just needs to learn how to communicate with it…

I always say you have to find your own style and not be afraid to follow it.

I know if I ate the way my wife wants me to eat, I would gain weight. What works for her does not work for me.

I think this is one of the most difficult concepts to understand. Yes, we are all unique biochemically – but also each time in our life is different. I know that when I’m under great strain, I need different things to feel healthy – quiet, stretching – than when I’m rested.

The trick is learning how to know what I need at any given moment. This is what I am attempting to learn in my life right now.

Excellent point Craig.

What works for me is sticking with the whole foods, just plain ‘ole food without all the processed gunk.
