How can I reduce man breasts?

Hello all.

I am a little overweight, and have a bit of a chest. I have been told that exercise will do nothing to shrink my boobs. Will diet help?

Does anyone know how to get rid of man boobs?

    Try getting some weight and working your shoulders with a seated shoulder press. Its really simple just pick an appropriate weight with dumbbells sit in a chair that has a good back support system and lift the weight over your head in a slow controlled motion. Start out with 3 sets of 10.

    You can also try what is called an incline dumbbell press. You would use an incline bench do something similar to a regular incline bench. Be sure to select an appropriate weight and also use nice slow controlled motions. 3 sets of 10 would be a place to start with that as well.

    Finally try to work some pull ups and chin ups into your workout, they are a great total upper body work out.

    Here is what you do.

    1. Start running for about 1 mile a day for a week or so.

    2. Eat less fatty foods, and eat more with protein and calcium, and vitamens.

    3. After a week of running 1 mile/day, increase it to 1 1/2 miles for 1 week. (Remember to stay on a diet)

    4. Keep increasing the length of your run each week, and soon your "man boobs" will start to shrink.

    5. After you lose enough weight that you feel you aren't overweight (Still will probobly be a little chubby), go to the gym and start to work out their. (Keep running every day)

    6. If you keep doing all three of those things you will develop Pecs. Pecs are like man boobs but they are pure muscle, and every body builder has them.

    That's what I did to lose weight. (I was weighing 200 Lb's. at 14) Now I am 17 and weigh 210 Lb's of pure muscle. Also, it will seem like you are gaining weight at first, but what is going on is you're getting more muscles. FYI muscles weigh more than fat. Hope I helped!

  • I recently read an article online saying that Lavender, commonly found in household shampoos, hair gells, and body soabs, increases male breast size, or "man boobs." I know it sounds strange, but after a little more research I found that even more studies show that Levender increases male breast size.

    So maybe take a look around your shower or bathroom and see what you're using that contains Lavender.

    Then hit the gym!
