The medical condition known as gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia is often crudely referred to as "man boobs." This condition manifests itself as excess fatty tissue, which accumulates around a male´s breasts. Not at all uncommon, this condition occurs in 40% of adolescent males.
Occasionally a side effect of medication or a symptom of a serious illness, this condition is more commonly a result of improper nutrition and lack of exercise. It can be successfully controlled through diet and exercise; however, it´s not a quick fix. Fat deposited in the chest can be particularly stubborn. Stubborn, but not impossible! Patience, diligence, and consistency will pay off big time!
The most significant strategy in the fight against "man boobs" is a good exercise program! Your cardio workout will be key! Yes, weight training and target exercises are necessary too, but a minimum of thirty minutes each day spent sweating and huffing and puffing will reap the desired results more quickly. Without this key component, you will greatly reduce your chances at success!
Eating fewer calories is a major strategy anytime you want to reduce body fat in general, and chest fat in particular. Eating three highly nutritious meals and two healthy snacks is a must! Keep each meal under five hundred calories, and each snack under two hundred, as it is difficult for your body to process much more than that at one time, without storing excess calories as fat. Refrain from eating or drinking empty calories. Pack as much nutrition into your diet as you possibly can!
Eliminate as much refined sugar from your diet as possible, especially in the form of sweets and sweet drinks. Sugar provides no nutritional benefit and should be used sparingly. Drinking plenty of water is a must! Water will help you feel full and it will help keep your system flushed. In addition, research indicates that water helps your metabolism work more efficiently.
Once you´ve decided on your exercise regime and your weight loss program, the final strategy in the fight against "man boobs" is to keep a food and exercise log! Research is very clear that dieters who track their food intake and energy expenditure experience twice as much success as those who don´t. If recording every calorie is too labor-intensive for you, don´t despair. Simply writing what you eat in the approximate amounts will be just as effective. The key is to include everything that passes your lips!
In summary, eliminating "man boobs" is best done through a combination of eating fewer, but highly nutritious calories, exercising more, staying hydrated, and tracking your daily progress in a food and exercise log. Make these simple changes today and enjoy the results tomorrow!
