(PLEASE DUNT IGNORE THIS BECAUSE ITS A BIT LONG I NEED YOUR HELP) Hey all, I am kind of new to this board and I have done my research I think...anyway my question to the pros or anyone who "KNOWS"... meaning they're sure about what they're talking about is....

well I am 16...I weigh about 205 pounds..but I am tall..I am around 5"10...so I don't look too big, the fat is evenly distributed (with clothes on)....

Anyway my question is for the past 6 years I have had a problem with Man boobs...and yes I read almost every fourm on here about that topic...and well some were helpful some wern't, because some said work out, do cardio, eat properly and they will go away...but then other articles it says it might be Gynomatisica..In wich the only way to lose them is to have an operation..if you want an idea of it its about a handful of fat...it is so emberessing my self-esteem has gone down alot....I can't wear t shirts I am always fiddling wen I walk so as no one will notice them and I havent been swimming for the past year and a half because of it...so my question is if I were to start working out and try to eat properly will it just make the "Boobs" bigger (wich is my biggest fear) or will it just shrink..I am too worried that it will get bigger beacuse of Gynomatisica if I try to work out....and if there is any way to reduce it some how naturally please tel me ie: excercises...speacial kind of weight lifting etc.

thank you for your time and I would GREATLY appreiciate your reply's.
 
You might want to talk to your doctor. To lose fat you have to go on a calorie deflict IE eat less calories then your body is burning a day.

You can't spot reduce fat like some commericals would have you believe. You lose fat throughout the body and the stomach and chest are usually the last to go for men.

Eat good, weighttrain, cardio. However, i've lost 20pounds the last few months without a lot of cardio i enjoy weight training much more. There's no set protocol everybody is different.
 
Thanks

Thanks for your reply I'll give it a try I guess but like how many calories should we eat a day and what do you mean

go on a calorie deflict IE eat less calories then your body is burning a day.


thanks again for the reply
 
One More Question

If I want to lose weight will I have to eat like say 6 or 700 calories a day then to start losing weight and if I do work out what excersises would be helpful to lose the "boobs"...

Thanks
 
Height weight age sex?

Don't starve yourself your body will just eat your muscle and keep on storing fat.

The lowest a female should go to lose weight in 1200cals and a male 1800cals, general consensus.
 
well, how tall are you and how much do you weigh, I had that problem a couple years ago before I started working out (people used to comment on them :( ) but...doing stuff like benching and incline (and other excercises) melted the fat off and made my whole upper body bigger to compensate, and now I get different kinds of comments lol.
 
most guys do not have gynecomastia, that is from a hormone imbalance. to find out if you do go to your doctor and ask for a hormone test for gyno, which should include liver function tests and assays for follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroxine, estrogen, estradiol, and testosterone levels.
which is the common test.
anywho here is a template I give to new people to help with answers to questions you don't know to ask yet.

template for loosing fat (cutting)
by average I mean you just want to effectively loose fat, without becoming extreme about it. I will try and outline the basics for you, and later on you should make adjustments / additions that will best fit your needs.
all that will be discussed is for optimal fat loss

DIET : -40% protein 40% carbs 20%fat this is a basic layout. "what kind of protein?" well you should eat: chicken,tuna,eggs,fish,beef are all acceptable basically avoid things like fast food meats and other stuff that's just common since. "what about carbs?" mainly oats, whole grains, starchy vegetables, and fruits mainly the ones with the word (berries) in them. "and fat?" most of your fat intake should be from vegetable oils, seeds and nuts. if you don't like those foods there are some alternatives. -"how many calories?" around 200-300 or 20-30% less than your maintenance level, "how do I know what my maintenance level is?" one way to figure it out is to keep a calorie intake journal for 5-7 days. If your weight stays constant, then you simply divide the total calories consumed by the number of days and you’ll get your daily intake. -liquids: 1-2 gallons/4-8 Liters of water a day is the basic amount you want. you should eat 6 meals a day spaced out 2-3 houres. foods you will want to say away from are: soda, mayo, chips, french fries, ice cream, most salad dressings & oils(except olive oil), cheese. if you can't live without them then go for non-fat and low sugar type things. use some common sence and don't try to make drastic changes all in a day, it should be a gradual process. once you get to the weight you like then you can raise your calorie intake up to maintenance.

SUPPLEMENTS: (first tier supps) for fat loss is a multivitamin and some EFA's (essential fatty acids). (second tier supps) protein powders like casein (used before bed) would be the one of choice for fat loss, whey (after workout) is also benifital. thermogenic fat burners or stimulant-free fat burners are usefull in loosing weight, follow the direction on thoes products which is very important. they will add an extra boost to your goals (san tight is a good stimulant-free product). I would not bother with anything else like carb blockers, fat blockers, appetite suppressants, and other fat loss products you will see everywhere, with maby the exception of thyroid hormone increasers but usally there is no need for them.

WORKOUT PROGRAMS: almost any program will work. the only thing you will want to add is less rest between exercises and sets, but don't hurt yourself.
alot of these exercises have dumbbell-counterparts.
Chest: Parallel bar dips, Bench Press, Incline Press
Legs:Squats (including front squats), tiff-Legged deadlifts, Calf-raises
Back:Bent-over rows, Chins Bent-legged, Deadlifts (also a leg exercise)
Delts:Military press, Lateral raises
Arms:Close-grip bench, press Close-grip chins
you can find fully detailed workouts.

CARDIO: there are two main types of cardio you should use, first is called slow cardio and the second is called HIIT (high intensity interval training). you should use them in a ratio of 3-1 (IE 3 days of slow and 1 day of HIIT). For best results do cardio 4 times a week for an houre, too much is somtimes counterproductive and too little is well too little. "what is slow cardio?" slow cardio is doing any activity (running, biking, swimming, boxing, etc) with about 75-85% of your max heart rate for an houre. "how do I know what my max heart rate is?" well when you do an activity where you are still able to talk without being extremely out of breath, or another easy way is take 220 and minus your age then take that number and multiply it by .75-.85 which will give you rough percentages of 75-85% of your max heart rate or (HR), of course this is not entirly accurate, cause everyone is different. "ok what is HIIT then?" HIIT works like this first you warm up doing whatever for 5 min then take some time and stretch. after your all ready, start a moderate pace for 1 minute then you move your pace up to 90-95% of you max HR for the next 15-30 seconds, then go back down to your moderate pace for 1 min, then back up to 90-95% and back down agen. you get the idea (moderate for 1 min, then 90-95% for 15-30 sec) do this around 15-20 times and your done.

WILLPOWER: alot of people try to make changes too fast and end up quiting, so don't over do it, this means to slowly change your diet and work your way up to the suggested cardio regimen. if you don't workout already and don't want to that is ok, working out is not required for loosing weight but it will help the main parts are your diet and cardio. by phaledax
