How To Get Rid of Man Breasts

Weight Loss Articles : How To Get Rid of Man Breasts by Andrew Kawoski

I'm going to tell you about the different causes of gynecomastia (man breasts), and the different ways of getting rid of them. Man breasts are not always caused by excess bodyfat, although that is usually the case. They can also be caused by a hormonal imbalance (excess estrogen in the blood stream) that's most common in adolescence (when you're a teenager), although it's possible for this to also be the cause even if you're older. If you really believe a hormonal imbalance is playing a part in your gynecomastia, then I highly recommend you check out the link I have at the end of this article for something that is specifically designed to address man breasts caused by hormonal imbalances.

Diet and Exercise

If the cause of your man breasts is excess body fat, then diet and exercise is probably the best route to take first:

-Diet by restricting your calories; it doesn't matter which diet you use to do this, they all work by the same principle. You can use SugarBusters, The Zone, Atkins, South Beach, etc. My personal favorite is the French, or Mediterranean diet, for which I highly recommend you check out a book by Will Clower called 'The Fat Fallacy'.

-Exercise at least 3 times per week, preferably doing both strength training AND aerobic exercise. The strength training will help to sculpt, harden, and shape your chest so that when you do get your bodyfat percentage down, you'll already have a well-sculpted chest and hard pecs. I would recommend doing strength training twice per week, and aerobic exercise 2-3 times per week. If you're coupling this with a proper diet, you really can't go wrong, you WILL burn fat. The nice thing about aerobic exercise is that there's so many different ways to get it: Racquetball, basketball, running, elliptical machines, tread mills, cycling, spinning machines, swimming, etc. Just pick your favorite and do it!

Consider A Pre-Packaged Program:

A friend of mine, who struggled with man boobs for years, has put together a prepackaged program for guys who want to lose their man boobs together, and I highly recommend it to those that are serious about doing this and especially if you have a severe problem that previous weight loss techniques have been unable to help with, since the method he delves into has to do with hormone balancing--I personally saw him lose his man boobs in about 3 months time, even his doctor was surprised he did it--check it out here:

The Advanced Man-Boob Destruction Method!! (that's not really what it's called, I just thought that sounded cool :D )
