dear fit. op pic is not me but related.

I am 19, 6 ft tall, 79kgs and have man boobs and a stomach.

ever since puberty I have had man boobs, in some form or another. I was 65kgs when i was 17, but have since gained weight and it only made the man boobs bigger.

I thought maybe theyd go away if I started running, (which I have started this week) but since googling "gynecomastia" i am thinking I might have more on my plate than first glance.

I just feel helpless. i dont want to live with man boobs any more. Im a good looking guy, and the only thing thats held me back is lack of self confidence with man boobs. even if my stomach isnt big, i will always have the boobs.

if anyone can please help or advise me its greatly appreciated... prefer not to hear the answer surgery... and I dont even know if I have this "gynecomastia" might just be self diagnosing.

help me :(

TURN YOUR MANBOOBS INTO PECS
I used to be fat and have manboobs but here is what I did, I started doing drugs to trip that by chance suppressed my appetite and then I would only eat 1 small meal a day which would be breakfast in the morning or not eat at all on the days I got high, after that I was pretty thin but still had some small man boob reminants. I eventually stopped doing drugs and started working out, doing bench/butterflies and exercises to work my pecs (as well as other exercises) not I have pecs instead of man boobs and they look good.

I have tried weights in the past and cant get motivated to do them, i mean i just want to lose some weight really, get to 65kg or so from 79. but Im just wondering if running will get rid of man boobs..

starting to think they will plague me forever. i cant maintain pec workouts for say, the next 10 years (years i want to be having sex -.-) in between job / life etc.

Do you have the willpower to not eat as much?
or just stop eating all together?
being anorexic for a while will get you skinny and hence you will lose your man tits.
Also running will help lose weight if you stick with it..

=\
I thought not eating was the worst possible thing you can do when it comes to losing weight?

i really dont eat that much, i eat like a normal person.

I think genetics has a role to play for me, my dad is similar.

its a cop out to say someone with man boobs just eats too much, my friend eats way more macdonalds and fried shit than me but his metabolism keeps him at a super skinny 60kg permanently..

I wasn't saying it was because they eat too much I was saying eating less over a long enough period of time will make you lose weight if you're a fatty. I have a large bone structure and not eating still helped me lose weight.
fat = mantits
skinny = no or at least less man tits.

Funny how everyone always loses weight in studies when their food intake is being controlled and measured by someone else.

I don't know a whole lot about specifically getting man boobs in shape, but think about it this way: If part of your body is flabby and you specifically work out that part hard enough it will get hard, like if you had flabby arms and you did tons of arm exercises and worked at it long enough eventually they'd stop being flabby. Seems like it would work the same with your chest??
Pec exercises

... but I really dont. no more than anyone else i know.

honestly, its cool to make fun of the guy with man boobs, but maybe it isnt his fault entirely? i cant choose my genetics, I look like my dad.

most of my friends are super skinny regardless of how much they eat, and i guarantee they eat more than me. are they just better than me at life or something?

im here for advice, christ almighty..

point taken, but once pecs are attained they must be exercised upon constantly to stay there, is that correct?

So you have genes for a slower metabolism, and your body stores some of your extra fat in your chest.
This doesn't mean you can't change it. I have a slow metabolism. I have to watch what I eat harder and exercise more than most people I know do to stay in shape but still, it just depends if the effort is worth getting rid of them or not to you.

yeah cool, why does my friend who eats mcdonalds and kfc everyday stay at 60kg? he is 19 years old. has no diet or exercsise whatsoever and you can see his ribs.

/sigh i thought this would be a place to come for insight.

it takes a lot less effort than you would think.
work on them 5 minutes a day and you'll see improvement eventually. Pecs are probably one of the easiest muscle groups to start seeing progress in after you start working on them

you really arent of any help.

look at the Op pic. that guy resorted to surgery to get rid of his man boobs.

my question was, how to get rid of man boobs WITHOUT surgery, i thought /fit/ was one of the places on 4chan people arent actually dicks 24/7. guess i was wrong.

please, give me your opinion on what the guy in OP picture should have done instead of surgery. as you can see he isnt severely overweight or anything, but has a manboob problem. and looks fine post-op, looks like a NORMAL man.

...but he resorted to surgery. so... opinion?

So what do you eat, OP?

Perhaps he had gynecomastia. We don't like to mention it because every day someone comes here claiming they have it.

im not saying i do. but ive always had man boobs even when my stomach has been thin. my dad always has SOME fat on his man boobs, even when he was working out rigorously and had a toned stomach etc.

put it this way, i have only met 1 person with a similar body type to mine. noone else in my classes had man boobs and wasnt noticeably fat, like me.

Basically, a lot of people when they put on weight put fat on in one place first, usually hips or stomach.

In your case its your pecs.

You don't have as good a metabolism as your friends that visit McDonalds... that's because you don't have the same parents, and you dont the same exact activities as they do.


Everyone is different.

You're right in that if your father is the same then it could partly be genetics.
But there's a way of improving your metabolism so that it gets better. Because of your situation you're just gonna have to try harder.

You probably know if you lurk /fit/ enough that you cannot spot reduce fat. It means you can't lose fat solely around your chest area. DON'T diet, if you do, you assume you're gonna come OFF the diet at some point.

So instead a lifestyle change is in need. For this you need motivation, something you said you lack.
Nobody can really help you there, its up to you to motivate yourself.
Eat at least three meals a day (no less... may result in worse metabolism), Try to cut out carbs and put in more fibre and protein.

Then you join a gym and make sure you do plenty of cardio (running WILL help) to burn the fat, and focus on your chest area when weight lifting (chest press).

try and stick to this, it should get better.
If all fails in a couple of months and you still have moobs then you probably have gynecomastia.
See your doctor in that case.

What I have described above is pretty much all you can do.
I hope I have helped...

When i do pressups and pullups my chest looks like it has more muscle because of the glands under my chest, too bad for the fail puffy nipples.

I found a weird lump on them last week and i've had this for years, hopefully it's cancer so i can have this shit cut out.

thanks much for a lengthly and helpfull response.

i never have been too much of a lurker of /fit/ but just somehow figured cardio all over would be my best bet. i suppose time will tell if the boobies will go away =\ i havent been thin since 16-17, eh.

advice appreciated and noted.

If you dont feel a meaty rubbery peice of meat under your nipples then you're a tubby cunt and you dont have gyecomastia.

Look, if it's gynecomastia you can't do SHIT. Think of a woman trying to get rid of her boobs, got it? Get your hormone levels checked.

Gynecomastia is, in actuality, fairly fucking rare. It means you've developed ACTUAL breast tissue due to a hormone imbalance. As in, you should have small bits of firm tissue behind the nipple, not just fat.

99% of the time, man boobs are just fat. You have high body fat. Deal with it by dieting and exercising. I don't care what your weight is, you can be fat at 140 pounds or 400 pounds.

Yup, and like I said it's fairly rare. I'm sick of fat people claiming they have "gynecomastia" when it's obviously just chest fat.
