How to Get Rid of Man Boobs
Man boobs are a common problem among overweight men, especially in the United States as the obesity rate continues to climb. Moobs, as they are sometimes referred to, are unattractive and cause insecurity in men because they look like they have boobs. The scientific term for this problem is gynecomastia and it can effect young boys going through puberty, overweight men, men who use steroids, and even men who workout every day.
For men who no longer want to stay covered up with t-shirts at the beach, by the pool, or when mowing the lawn, surgery is one option to reduce man boobs. Liposuction and excision are the two methods of surgery. The first step in gynecomastia surgery is to get an examination by a licensed doctor. The doctor feels the patient’s chest, focusing on the area around the nipple and areola. He looks for soft, loose fat spread throughout the chest or a hard mass found underneath the nipple.
Liposuction works great for soft, loose fat. The fat is sucked out of the chest using an instrument that looks like a straw. If a hard mass is found, excision is the method used. A small incision is made, usually about half the size of the areola, and the mass is taken out. In some cases, liposuction is performed after an excision to get rid of any remaining fat. Both methods are used to make the chest as flat as possible.
Surgery isn’t an option for everyone due to cost and preference. For boys going through puberty, the best method for combating moobs is time. Most adolescents will lose their man boobs by the time they turn eighteen. As men age, their metabolism slows and the food and drink they once indulged in begin to show in places like the chest. This is where diet and exercise comes in.
This doesn’t mean you have to stop drinking beer with the guys or eating chocolate bars completely. Eat sweets and other non-health foods in moderation and start hitting the gym. Choose lean meats, fruits, vegetables, and drink plenty of water. Eating a healthy diet and working out is a great combination. You should see a decrease in your gynecomastia at a faster rate than if you only do one or the other.
Get plenty of aerobic exercise. Get your heart rate pumping by going for a run, hiking, skiing, or the treadmill. Weightlifting is another great exercise to get rid of unsightly chest fat. Combine weightlifting with aerobic exercise for the best results. Use the incline bench press at the gym and a set of free weights to work the muscles in your chest. Focus on your lower chest, shoulders, and back.
There are pills on the market that are specifically designed to help men lose unwanted fat in their chests. Not all pills that claim to decrease fat in the chest are FDA approved or work. Before taking any pills, whether they are herbal, over the counter, or prescribed, talk with your doctor.
Gynexin is a popular pill used to reduce chest fat. This pill claims to target fat cells in the chest and reduce them naturally. It is made from natural ingredients. Tamoxifen is a commonly used medication to minimize man breasts and must be prescribed by a doctor. This medication has proven to work better on patients who begin taking it at the first sign of unwanted fat in their chests.
