Okay so you're fed up with your man boobs. It's time you finally do something about those annoying lumps of unwanted meat. This article looks at various ways of burning fat in your chest area. We would like to start with clarifying the difference between man boobs and gynecomastia. The latter is mostly a medical problem related to hormonal imbalances. The former is generally caused by fat build-up in your chest area. Both problems can be attacked by exercising and having a good general diet. Gynecomastia however, may require medical treatment if it does not subside.

Let's take a look at a healthy diet, and calorie in-take. The fact is that many people are unaware of how much calories they consume every day. It's important to start monitoring your calorie consumption. If your calorie in-take exceeds the amount of calories you burn doing physical activities then you will gain weight. Weight gain is often seen first around the waist, and in your breast area. This can cause man boobs to appear, which are obviously very unwanted guests, and men are eager to get rid of them. We've heard stories of men with man boobs who were so insecure about their physique that they avoided taking off their shirts in public places (essentially avoiding public baths, and the beach). Others report a decline in their sexual lives because of a lack of self-confidence. These two issues are serious enough to warrant some action. One email we got from a gentleman in Germany mentioned how he was teased at work because of his clearly visible man boobs. He refused to wear tight clothes, and ended up spending most of his time in sweaters and other baggy clothes. At one point he had enough of it all and decided to join a gym. After 4 weeks of intensive workouts he could see a major difference.

If you decide to buy exercise equipment or go to your local gym, make sure you start with cardiovascular exercises. These are meant to train your heart, but also burn calories (and in turn fat deposits). Once you've lost some weight you can add in a bunch of weight lifting exercises to start toning your lighter body. It's important to combine exercise with a healthy diet because this will attack the man boobs problem on two fronts. Keep track of what you eat, and avoid junk food while you are dieting. High fat food should be left on store shelves. See how well you get on by eating 200 calories a day less (this is about 1 sandwich). Quite a few people think they cannot survive on less food, but the fact is that they easily can!
