How to Lose Man Boobs   

Man boobs, technically known as Gynecomastia, are becoming an increasing problem for men. They are caused by a hormone that is normally produced by females to cause breast growth. Oestrogen is the hormone that stimulates breast growth in females and when boys start producing more of this hormone than they are testosterone, they develop man boobs.

Another cause of man boobs is the intake of drugs like amphetamines, heroin, etc. While eating too much may contribute to an already existing problem, it is not usually the cause of the problem. So, if you have them, how do you lose man boobs? 

There is surgery that can reduce the appearance of the man boobs. However, it is very expensive and reportedly very painful. It also isn’t always successful, depending on the method used. Before considering any surgical option, you should make every effort to lose man boobs with diet and exercise. You should also learn a bit about hormones, and what you can do to control your hormone levels. 

There have been instances where large numbers of boys developed man boobs after hormones had been added to their poultry supply. There was a concern that the hormones may have been to blame for the increase and they have been eliminated in other countries.

You can still purchase poultry and other meats with hormones added to them and it has not been proven to have a connection. However, you might want to select your meat from those that are hormone free just to err on the side of caution if you need to lose man boobs. 

Another approach to help you lose man boobs is the natural way. Since this is fatty tissue, then you can use diet and exercise to get rid of the fat. Your exercise routine should be that of any program designed to lose body fat. Combine aerobic and strength training exercises to increase your muscle and reduce your body fat at the same time. Increasing muscle helps to burn more calories and will also make it easier to burn the fat.  

Your diet should be one that is rich in protein but very low in fat. Only eat the fats that are good for you and not those that are saturated or trans-fats. Cook foods in olive oil and also make your salad dressings with olive oil. Eat lean meats that are high in protein but not fat like poultry and fish (hormone free).

A diet plan that requires you to eat a balance of 35% protein, 60% carbohydrates, and no more that 15% fat should have you fit and get rid of man boobs in no time. You should also choose your carbs carefully and eat vegetables and whole grains instead of starchy white foods. 

Do exercises that add muscle to your chest area. You will need to increase the amount of weight you use as you progress to get the maximum benefits. Although building muscle in your chest to improve the appearance will help you look better, you will also need to continue the aerobic exercises faithfully to burn the fat. Strength training won’t burn fat, just build muscle. 

To lose man boobs without surgery, you will need to make a strong commitment to stick with your exercise program and get rid of all of your body fat in order to reduce the fat in the chest area. You should also consider a program specifically designed to deal with this troublesome area, and one that includes information on naturally balancing your hormones. With the right program, and perseverance, you can lose the man boobs for good.
