Foods That Cause Man Boobs

The most important thing to take away from this lesson is that you learn the foods that raise estrogen levels.

Don't take the title of this article too literally. Obviously, it's not like you'll eat some obscure food and wake up the next morning with Gynecomastia. Foods that bring on Man Boobs, do so by raising estrogen levels, causing your body to store fat cells behind the nipples and around the breast tissue.
When you're trying to lose man boobs, the whole point is to tone and burn your pectorals, working off that fatty tissue and replacing it with a tighter and more toned chest. If you're eating foods that raise estrogen levels, you'll be unknowingly working against your main goal.

So here I'll be listing the foods that will naturally raise your body's estrogen levels or reduce your body's testosterone levels and make it harder to burn chest fat. These tips not only apply to those with Gynecomastia, but also to those with Pseudogynecomastia because I include fatty foods in the "avoid it" list.

In case you've forgotten what Pseudogynecomastia is, it's Man Boobs caused by an overall excess amount of body fat rather than hormonal imbalances. People with Pseudogynecomastia should still avoid the foods mentioned below while they are on their weight loss regimen. The results will be much faster when you're fueling your body the right way. So without further ado...

Foods that Sabotage a Gynecomastia Diet


Marijuana

Okay, well technically it's not a food, but marijuana will definitely work against you when it comes to burning chest fat. Marijuana has been proven to increase the size of fat cells in men and women.
It also lowers testosterone levels which in effect creates a higher estrogen rich environment in the body. The effect? You guessed it, more fat store creation in the chest and breast area. No good.

Fatty Foods

This is just plain common sense. You shouldn't be munching on salty potato chips and cartons of ice cream. Keep trim and toned and you won't be giving your body any excuses to pack on additional fat.
