The end of an era! Victoria's Secret will reportedly stop selling swimwear by the end of the year, following the brand's declining bikini sales.

Calories Needed to Gain 1 Pound It takes an added 3,500 calories to gain a pound. To gain weight at a safe rate of around 0.5 to 1 pound each week, you'll need to eat an extra 1,750 to 3,500 calories weekly, which corresponds to an extra 250 to 500 calories a day.
This process is known as a calorie deficit. When you can maintain this deficit, you'll lose weight at a slow, steady rate. One pound of fat, in theory, is equal to 3,500 calories; as such, you'll lose a pound upon burning an excess of 3,500 calories. Losing 1 to 2 pounds per week -- which requires an overall deficit of 3,500 to 7,000 calories -- is a realistic weight-loss goal.
