HOW TO GET RID OF THE MAN BOOBS
I’m doing the most basic method of dieting(Counting calories and doing cardio) in the hope of stop being a fatty in general, but what I especially want to get rid of are my man boobs. The least hecking /fashion/ feature you can have on your body. Those bastards are just so atrocious to look at unless you’re hiding them with thick clothing.
Is there anyway to lose your chest/breast fat particularly fast?
No such thing as spot treatment OP; fat is distributed genetically– you’re just going to have to lose fat overall and hope that your moobs get smaller first.
No worries though, just keep at it and be consistent and you’ll see results. You can always fill up the excess skin back up with muscles to an extent. For immediate results, all you can do is do your best to obscure them with well-thought clothing choices.
This. If it is fat and not actual breast tissue, the good thing is that it will go away by losing fat, but the bad news are that there’s no guarantee on how long it will take. Anyone promising local fat loss methods is just brosciencing, so focus on general dieting advice.
For me, calorie counting was the A and O of success, being conscious of your daily calorie budget is the thing that makes a non-painful sustainable diet possible.
>obscure them with well-thought clothing
Any tips on clothes?
So far all i got is using two layers of clothing and sometimes a patterned shirt can help mask it but it’s impossible to do this in summer and patterned shirts dont look well in every occasion.
I would say to look up on Youtube for the best answers and see if they apply to you. Look up "Style Tips for Big Guys" or even how to dress with Gynecomastia.
You should lift
Lifting builds muscle which gives a leaner appearance at a higher bodyweight
If you only count calories and do cardio you’ll eventually just get skelly thin but with no muscle mass, making any fat gain more prominent on your body
^^
I think lifting will be good for you, so long as you are in a calorie deficit you will still lose body mass but the muscle loss will be minimal and it will mostly be fat. If you are fat like you said, you probably already have a surprising amount of muscles built in to support your frame.
Keep doing your cardio– everyone can benefit from cardio and it really helps tackling visceral fat (which is the fat around your organs, the very unhealthy kind).
But like Anon said OP, I think it’ll be good for you to use your muscles three times or at least once a week so you keep what you have. It’ll be hard for you to gain more muscle in a calorie deficit, but you’ll learn how to efficiently use what you have better and subsequently become "stronger" as a result.
> Lift weight.
Can body-weight exercises like push-ups and squats be ‘good enough’ substitutes in this scenario?
If you have mild gyno, yes getting cut should help reduce it, but unless you’re still a teenager it might not get rid of it completely. I would suggest lifting because having a bigger chest makes it look less worse. Unless you just don’t want any bust at all, which in that case you just need to starve yourself
I think push ups could do a lot for an untrained individual, but I find it very difficult to build leg size without heavy weights. Once you get good at regular push ups you could do them with your hands elevated so you can get a deeper stretch at the bottom, try different variations like incline or decline, do close grip to focus on triceps, or do handstand push ups to focus on your shoulders. But at that point you should probably just hit an actual gym
Anything that involves muscle usage and allows you to progress is good– just keep in mind that body weight exercises for you will be much harder since you have more mass than someone who isn’t fat. It can be a little discouraging but go for it and try
People who are fat tend to have a well-developed lower body, not really because they exercise but because everything they do forces their leg to workout. You may find that you’ll be able to do a surprisingly large amount of squats– if you can incorporate a dumbbell in order to do stuff like goblin squats that’ll be better than doing high rep amounts.
Oh, and if you can’t do pushups, do incline and knee pushups instead to start you off– absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Calisthenicsmovement is a pretty cool guy
start doing pushups too, because building muscle increases your resting metabolic requirements and will burn fat away before the muscle.
^ this
start doing pushups OP, they will get you from out of shape to better shape than most before you need to do something else to still get enough exercise.
Swimming in cold pools. It browns your fat which means it increases thr amounts of mitochondria so that atp can be more effectively produced in order to warm the cells. Swimming is the best way to burn fat especially in cold because it burns calories just to keep you warm and then is the hardest cardio on top of it. And as stated it begins making your fat cells burn energy within the cells more quickly from the cold as well.

That’s my routine to reduce nipple puffiness
Stop excessively eating sugar and related starchslop foods.
Eat only:
For 5 days
Beakfast: one slice of toast, 2 eggs or a bowl of porridge with yogurt but milk is fine. Flavor your coffee with milk, no sugar. Or eat something equivalent.
Midmorning snacks; every two hours an apple or carrot or some equivalent HARD fruit or veg. Has to be hard, important.
Lunch: no starches, meat and veg only equivalent to a paddy of beef
Snacks; every three hours. Soft is fine like an orange or a kiwi.
Dinner; a potato or equivalent and a steak or equivalent. Lots of veg
After your 5 days treat yourself to something you like that doesn’t fit in previous. Avoid alcohol during the 5 days. Flavour your food with seasonings and vinegar. In fact consume lots of vinegar.
Good luck Boob-Boy!

Can you not get rid of them via gynecomastia surgery?
Let’s not recommend surgery and let the man take charge of his own life without doing anything drastic or expensive.
You can’t, just keep losing weight.
Just hope that it’s actual fat and not gyno. When I lost weight I realised my “man boobs” weren’t man boobs it was gyno. NHS doesn’t even cover the surgery, but they’re more than happy to chop a trannys tits off
Do you not know what gynecomastia is?
It’s actual breast tissue that cannot be reduced/fixed by diet and exercise. ie it is NOT fat.
You need to spend $5k on surgery to remove them permanently.
And no, it’s not a rare thing where only 0.01% of the male population has it. It’s actually very common these days.

Eat less
lift moar
also I would say you should cut down on your carb intake significantly, eating pasta should be a rarity, for instance. Eat meat 3-4 times a day if you are able, if not that’s fine, but keep in mind your body requires amino acids it cannot create from meat that you eat in order to build muscle.
and your muscles don’t sleep when you do, they still need the meat amino acids while you sleep, so eat high protein mostly meat, and a bit before bed too.
