Get Rid Of Those Man Boobs (Moobs)

I never thought that my fitness career would ever lead me down a road that made me feel obligated to write about “How to lose man boobs”. But being in the fat loss industry for over 16 years has made me painfully aware of the magnitude of this problem. Believe it or not, man boobs are a humiliating reality for many men today. In fact, I receive emails every week asking me “how to lose fat on my chest” from countless guys who are desperate to find a solution to this problem. These emails are heartfelt and I try to help every one of these guys resolve their problem.But the man boob problem really hit home for me last week while on vacation with my buddy, Chad. Every summer, Chad is well-known for possessing the most remarkable farmers tan in the North Jersey area. Although his arms usually have a golden Caribbean color, his torso is about as white as the inside of an apple. His excuse has always been, “I don’t want to take off my shirt, because I’ll get sun burned.”For years now, I bought this excuse hook, line and sinker. But on our recent vacation, I was determined to get him to balance out his zebra striped, two toned body once and for all! After pressuring him to take off his shirt, the truth came out. He told me that he never was worried about getting sunburn. Then he admitted to me his man boob problem. For years he was suffering from embarrassment and unnecessary stress. I felt really bad for him and instantly devised a plan for him.There are two components that cause breast swelling in men: imbalances in estrogen levels and excess body fat. Estrogen can fuel the growth of breast tissue. Left untreated, this particular type of breast tissue can become very solid and painful to the touch.Excess body fat, on the other hand, will not be rock solid or painful. Instead, it will just be a cosmetic nightmare. How can you tell if your man boobs are due to tissue growth or excess body fat? Very simply. Just squeeze the area around your nipple. If the area feels as though there is a hard ball under your nipple, then you likely have tissue growth. If it is soft and pliable, then you have excess fat on your chest. In many cases, you will have a combination of the two.​

Let’s first address the estrogen levels. Aromatase is an enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen in the body. Needless to say, we want this conversion to take place as little as possible. What can we do about this?Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables daily. Why? Because cruciferous vegetables such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage contain a substance named indole-3-carbinol (I3C). This substance has been shown to positively affect estrogen metabolism. In other words, they block the estrogen receptors in your body. This reduces the negative effects of the testosterone to estrogen conversion that occurs naturally in our bodies.In addition to the natural estrogen in our bodies, there are many environmental estrogens that should be avoided as much as possible. Here are seven ways to avoid common substances that can increase estrogen levels:Avoid all pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Wash all produce well to get rid of the pesticides.Have a good water filter for your source of water.Use organic, whole foods and purchase hormone free meats and dairy products where possible.Do not microwave food in plastic containers, and especially avoid the use of plastic wrap to cover food for microwaving. (The estrogens found in plastics have been shown to leech into foods and liquids when heated to high temperatures.)Use glass or ceramics whenever possible to store food.Do not leave plastic containers, especially your drinking water, in the sun.If a plastic water container has heated up significantly, throw it away - do not drink the water either.
Now that we have our estrogen levels under control, let’s address the excess chest fat. No matter what some people say, you can’t target the fat on your chest specifically. Instead you must follow a program that emphasizes total body fat loss.
