Growing up I’ve always been the fat kid and it took a toll on my overall happiness and early teenage years. Decided to take matters into my own hand before starting University, I started my turnaround around last year at the same period.
Been mostly on intermittent fasting 16/8, high protein diet with caloric deficit that I combined with heavy cardio training (HIIT).
I still have a long way to go as I still have a lot of body fat but I’m fairly happy with myself as I’ve never felt so good in my life.
However been noticing that my chest area did not change much through the process which made my man boobs at least 4 time more noticeable than before. I mean as far as I can remember I have always had those but the fact that I slimmed down from everywhere but there is starting to make me feel anxious and way more self-conscious that I’m already are.
Here are some pictures :
I’ll be seeing my practitioner this fall but wanted to also ask for your expertise as I have some questions.
I know that in most cases surgery is the only solution to this type of problem but wanted to know if you think achievable a loss of said man boobs through sport and weightlifting? I’ve never lifted a weight in my life, which bring me to my second question : is building new muscles in my chest area would possibly worsen the situation?
TLDR; lost 37 pounds through IF, deficit, cardio. Does not seem that I’m loosing fat in my chest, man boobs worsened. Surgery seems inevitable. Wanted to know if loosing man boobs achievable naturally through weightlifting (I never lifted) or if it is gonna worsen the situation. pics
