How to Lose Man Boobs

Firstly what are man boobs?

The first thing you have to find out is if you really do have man boobs the medical term being Gynecomastia. This is when you have breast tissue along with some chest fat caused by your body producing more oestrogen (the female hormone) and less testosterone (the male hormone).

Pseudogynecomastia the wonderfully long medical term is when you really have chest fat which gives the appearance of man boobs.

So which do you have and is there other ways of getting rid of them other than surgery?

If you are in your teens or early 20s there is a 90% chance that you will grow out of them as this is the time your hormones are out of whack. If you are older there are certainly other ways you can reduce the appearance of man boobs.

Firstly for chest fat you can revisit your diet – reduce the amount of fats, fast foods, alcohol and start a healthy eating program.   Along with this have a good exercise plan with a concentration on the lower chest. Unfortunately you can’t pick and chose where the fat will come off but the upside is that not only will you lose the man boobs, but you will lose fat and tone up on the overall body.

Other ways is to stop using drugs that cause an increase in oestrogen for example steroids, alcohol, tobacco and marijuana.    If you are taking prescription medication ask you doctor or health professional if they are likely to produce more oestrogen and if so is there any alternative. Please don’t risk your health, so do confer with your doctor before stopping or changing medication. It may be simply a matter of having an anit-oestogen treatment.

There are natural supplements that have been developed specifically for men with gynecomastia. They aim at the fatty cells in the mammary glands which, along with good diet and targeted exercise, makes it easier to lose man boobs.

So learn how to lose man boobs and set yourself on a path of confidence, good self esteem. Get yourself over the embarrassment and decide to take charge of the situation.
