People say that it is all in the diet.  I have to agree with this about 80%.  Yes you will need to make sure that you are doing all you can to monitor your diet, making sure that you are not eating things that will contribute to your weight.  Weight is a big factor in all of this, making sure that you are not just eating junk food and hoping that you will lose your man boobs is a giant factor in all of this, but it is half the story as well.

When we speak about diet the things you will wan to make sure that you are not doing is intaking foods high in estrogen.  This is vital.  You have to stop the process right now and doing this step first will get you on the right track.

What Foods Contain Estrogen?

Well ironically people tell you that eating soy can help in your overall health, this is true but it is not for you.  As soy has high estrogen levels.  As well as having a lot of beer.  Beans are another food group that has high levels of estrogen in them.

What You Need To Do

You need to increase the amount of testosterone in your body.  This will help to cut down on the amount of estrogen in your body.  When you have more testosterone in your body you tend to shed those unwanted man boobs.

What Can You Do To Increase Testosterone

There are a number of ways to go about this, but here are some simple ways to do it.

1. Get more Zinc in your diet. Go down to your local health foods store and buy a bottle of zinc and start taking that.  Zinc is excellent in making sure that your testosterone doesn’t become converted to estrogen by creating the enzyme aromatase not go into effect.

2. Proper amounts of sleep. I know this one sounds funny, but men who don’t get enough sleep tend to have lower amounts of testosterone in their bodies.

3. Cut down on stress.  The reason this is true is because if you don’t get stressed out so much you will in turn not produce as much cortisol.  Cortisol has been proven to shut down testosterone production. So stop stressing about losing man boobs.

These are just some ways to cut down on the estrogen levels that your body is producing.  But if you can get these right then you are on your way to helping your body stop the production of estrogen and leveling out your testosterone levels.  Which in turn helps in reducing your man boobs.

A lot of men deal with this issue some time in their life or maybe they just fear it a lot. I will go over some of the causes of having man boobs and how you developed them.

A lot of young men develop man boobs from an increased amount of estrogen in their bodies at a young age. This is normal because of all the chemical changes going on in the body. If you are teenager with man boobs I wouldn’t get too worried yet. They will probably go away as you age. If not then you might want to think of a way to get rid of them.

A lot of older men can develop man boobs as their testoterone levels drop. This usually happens at the age of 50 and higher. You can still combat this issue with the right resources.

There are number of foods that have high levels of estrogen in them. Such as soy and beer. So if your favorite food is Tofu and you wash it down with a beer then you are more likely to develop man boobs over time. There are cook books out there that have ways to avoid eating foods with high levels of estrogen. You can find a link to a product that goes over that here.

Another reason why men develop man boobs is just from being overweight. If you are over weight you have more of a chance of developing man boobs. Best thing to do is to get on some type of workout program that can help you lose weight overall and in the process you will probably get rid of your man boobs as well. There are certain exercises that get rid of this as well. They are explained in detail on this page.
