Q&A for How to Get Rid of Man Boobs

Don't count on it. At 16 you've done most of your growing up, physically. The only way to get in shape is to commit to losing weight. Eat well, drink water, and most of all sleep the same hours every night, even on the weekends. Your body's metabolism will find a rhythm and will work much more smoothly. Working out helps too, but not as much as a healthy diet.

As the article says, you can either buy more concealing clothing, commit to losing weight, or both. There are no shortcuts. You will have to eat well, drink lots of water, and most of all, sleep well. Weight loss is 80% healthy lifestyle and 20% workout. Even moderate walking for half an hour every day is enough as a workout. Just avoid fats and sugar, alcohol, all that stuff, and eat veggies and fruits and fibers.

Unless you have surgery, the only way to get rid of them permanently is to stick to healthy diet and exercise regiment. If you lose weight and go back to your unhealthy habits, you just gain the weight back again. Go to the gym 3-5 times a week, eat plenty of lean protein and fruits and vegetables, and stay away from junk food and sugary drinks like soda.

Focus on your arms and chest muscles with things like push-ups and weight lifting. Strengthening the chest should help reduce fat in that area (but remember to eat healthy as well).

Do your standard push ups and look for exercises that target the muscles in the chest area. This way, you can eliminate the fat in your chest and get firmer muscles. When you are old enough to go to the gym, go for bench presses for more chest-intensive activities.

Yes, you are going through puberty, this is normal as the hormones fluctuate. Expect them to go away, check up with the doctor if you don`t think it is too awkward, as it may be a symptom of testicular cancer if it doesn't go.

The best way to get rid of man boobs is to lose weight. Man boobs are made of body fat, so the only way to get rid of them is to lose body fat. You cannot lose the fat in your chest area by doing pushups. Exercise helps you lose weight, but it doesn't target any specific area. To lose weight, you should adopt a healthy diet. This can be very hard, so try to start small. Make small changes in your diet, for example, having fruit for snack instead of candy. Stick with that change for a week or two, and then make another change. Make sure not to eat too little, because this can hurt your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight. Try seeing a nutritionist or dietician.
