How To Lose Man Boobs

By Steve Brodie

No red blooded male wants to be able to wear his partners bra. Man boobs can cause extreme psychological discomfort for men, especially as there aren't many women who fall head over heels for wobbly pecs.

Knowing how to lose chest fat comes down to knowing the causes and dealing with them appropriately. You may not know it but an oversupply of female hormones is the main contibutor. The basic cause is a hormonal imbalance between estrogen and testosterone, the main sex hormones. An excess of estrogen will cause a feminization of male bodies, with curvy hips and breasts as a result. This of course makes it a slightly more complex issue than just too much fat - fit and healthy men still get man boobs because of hormones.

The first step is to minimise estrogen in the body. Increasing testosterone as a way of lowering estrogen can be disastrous as some bodies will get man boobs because testosterone is converted into estrogen! Treating your body as a complex whole is the best idea, as sometimes treating individual elements alone can adversely affect other parts.

For some the cause of man boobs can be very obvious. If you are overweight and have man boobs then dropping the weight will help a whole lot, not just for your chest but for your general well being. Carrying excess weight can exacerbate the problem if your man boobs have hormonal causes also because testosterone is converted into estrogen in fat cells, so the more fat cells the more likely you are to have man boobs.

For a lot of men what Im going to say next will hurt, apologies in advance. Beer is a number one man boob causing drink. The hops in beer is very estrogenic and will lead straight to those lovely love handles and man boobs, sorry.

There are a couple of things you need to do to get rid of those man boobs without resorting to the drastic measure of surgery, which with its complications, scars and risk of returning boobs, should be a last resort. Basically it boils down to diet, lifestyle and exercise. These are all things which will make a healthier life your you, with the added benefit of getting rid of those man boobs. Getting to the gym is important, not only for your regular health but for shedding chest fat. Find an exercise program that will target problem areas, there are plenty that are specially designed for man boobs.

Diet is very important for getting rid of man boobs. Zinc is extremely important as it has a lot to do with testosterone and needs constant replacement especially if you hit the gym a lot, because working out will deplete zinc in your system. Organic wild meats and walnuts are great for getting your zinc in. Watercress is a must for including in the diet and broccoli and cauliflower are both estrogen modulators, so should be eaten regularly.

Curcumin and grape seed extract are natural supplements which fight the nasty effects of estrogen in the male body. Including soluble fibre in the diet can also help to drain the foreign estrogens from the body. Having man boobs is not something any man should have to live with, and there are natural ways to deal with them, so now there are no more reasons to live with man boobs. - 17274
