No guy wants to get man boobs. They’re embarrassing, unsightly, and definitely NOT sexy. What girl is going to want to go out with you, much less have sex with you, if you’ve got flabby feminine breasts? It’s sure going to cut down your options in the dating pool, that’s for sure. If you’re already in a relationship, your woman isn’t going to look at you with the lust, desire, and admiration she used to if you’ve got big breasts. And going to the beach or swimming pool? Forget it!

While it’s easy enough to get rid of man boobs once they’re there, you really don’t want to get man boobs in the first place. The good news is, big man breasts can definitely be prevented in over 90% of cases. In fact, one of the only times when getting man boobs might be beyond your control is if you have a hormonal imbalance, and then you can take some very effective medicines to get rid of them.

To prevent man boobs, you really need to watch your weight. Most cases of man boobs are caused by being overweight, combined with a genetic susceptibility to develop fat on your chest. If you have this predisposition, then as soon as you start to gain weight, it’s going ot go right into your breasts, and people may start asking if you’re lactating! You can take some strong steps toward keeping a good weight by eating 5 to 6 small meals a day, rather than 3 large ones. A small meal is defined as one that can fit in the palm of your hand.

Eating plenty of small meals throughout the day keeps your metabolism running at a high, which helps convert fat into energy and keeps you lean. You can further amplify the benefits of a frequent small meal diet by making 75% of your daily meals protein-rich. Protein builds muscle and burns fat, so be sure to eat lots of peanut butter, lean meats, beans, and nuts. High fiber foods like whole grain breads and fruit with the skin on it will help keep you feeling full, so you don’t overeat.

You don’t have to get man boobs! Just eat sensibly and do some moderate exercise 3 to 4 times a week for a half-hour at a time (like walking, swimming, or yoga), and you need never deal with the embarrassment of man boobs!
