Depends: Weight loss depends on many factors. Depends on what type of calories your eating, carbs vs fats vs protein. Also can depend on salt content. In woman premenstrual hormone changes can cause weight flux of 3 lbs. Sometime low calorie diets result in lowering of basal metabolic rate which could also effect weight loss. And finally medications can play a role. See a nutritionist for healthy diet.

Different: Too few leads to weight loss. Need to use more in exercize or living than you take in. Check for diabetes, thyroid etc. With your doctor.
