Ep. #540: The Best Way to Get Rid of “Ma...

MIKE MATTHEWS
About this episode

Chances are good you found this podcast because you think you may have “man boobs.”

And, chances are also good you’re willing to do just about anything to get rid of them.

And I’d also wager you haven’t had much luck so far. Even when you manage to lose a few pounds your “moobs” don’t seem to shrink, and maybe you’re even wondering if you’ll need surgery to get rid of them.

After all, many other guys are taking that route.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, male breast reduction surgeries increased 32% from 2000 to 2017, and in 2015 men accounted for 40% of all breast reduction surgeries.

Is that really your only option, though?

Is surgery the only way to get rid of man boobs?

And even if you manage to get rid of them, are they just going to come back thanks to your genetics?

The short answer is no, no, and no.

The long answer is that most cases of “man boobs” are simply caused by having too high of a body fat percentage, and once you reduce your body fat percentage your man boobs will disappear along with the rest of your chest fat.

So, if you want to learn how to get rid of man boobs as quickly as possible, you’re in the right place.

Let’s get started.
