Oh No! Not Man Boobs!

Ok, these days, you can’t look past your chin in the mirror – because you just might see them, those man boobs! And your wife and kids are starting to make jokes; if maybe you’d like a bra for your birthday and what size should it be?

It’s usually not funny, and the problem is that they creep in slowly – you never really notice them until they are there. And then getting rid of them is not that easy either – they can stay with you for life if you don’t work on them seriously enough to get rid of them as soon as you notice them.


What Causes Man Boobs?

There are various causes, and a good number of them come with your lifestyle. Alcohol is a common culprit. Just the same way you may develop a beer belly; it’s really easy to get man boobs from alcohol. The other one of course is diet. Fast food will get you there faster than you can imagine (to man boob land I mean). You need to be watchful of what you eat especially as you grow older.

In some cases, man boobs can appear for medical reasons. There will be a hormonal imbalance, with the testosterone levels being lower than the estrogen levels – that imbalance will cause a man to grow breast tissue. Teenagers should wait it out – if they keep a healthy lifestyle they’ll wear off as they grow older. If you’re older, a doctor can easily correct this for you, but remember that you remain prone to this all your life, especially if it appeared at adolescence. You may lose it during your middle years, but as you grow older, with age and hormonal shifts due to ageing, they are likely to appear again.

How Do You Get Rid of Man Boobs ?

1. Firstly, if it’s not hormonal, try not to get them in the first place. Exercise and eat right. If it is hormonal, see a doctor who will help you balance out your hormone levels. After the doctor has done his bit, you’ll need to get active – like super active. You’ll have to burn all the fat in the man boobs off.
2. If its alcohol, which is a common cause especially in middle age, cut back. If you can, cut it out. If its making your boobs grow out, imagine what is doing to the rest of your body.
3. Change your diet. No more fast food or TV dinners. You’re now into veggies, fruits and healthy food. Give meat and potatoes a wide berth.
4. Fitness: The longer you stay with man boobs, the harder they are to get rid of. Immediately you notice them, start on an exercise regime. Work out, especially your upper body. Work your arms, abdomen and chest. Lift weights rapidly, get onto your barbell and your dumbbells. There are programs that have been designed to help you exercise your man boobs off, but even they don’t promise magic. They will only work if you get to working off your man boobs soon as you notice them, and put some real effort into it.

Do you wish to get rid of your man boobs in a really fast and efficient way that will leave you much healthier?

Am I Really Losing The Fat?

Losing fat is just like a sport – you need to keep score to know if you’re making progress. How will you know how well you’re doing if you don’t measure yourself against something?

The point is not to become a scales-slave. This will leave you hating what you see every time you step on them and losing focus on other more important things where your weight loss and fitness are concerned. You look at the scale in the morning, and just because of that extra 1-pound, you decide what’s the point anyway? In that way, scales can detract you from achieving real results.

It’s hard to live without scales if you’ve lived that way all your life before, but you can make an effort to change. The two things that scales do not usually tell you are that 1) it can be water weight, especially for women just before their period and 2) scales can play with your mind – just like so many things, you can find that you see what you want to see.

If you are trying to lose fat and gain muscle, you will have a problem. Muscle weighs more than fat, so you will look leaner but your scales will show your scales will show that you weigh more. At this point in time, it is more useful to look at yourself, check if the muscle structure and body definition have changed – that’s definitely more accurate than trying to use scales.

How do you build muscle? Through using up calories. They reside right there in your body, but what you do with either keep them as fat and flab or turn them into muscle. Your metabolism has to get more efficient at turning calories into muscle. All this will lead to a calorie deficit – and sooner or later, you will see that the scales start to drop.

At this point, we can now start to look at body fat percentage – how much of the total of your mass is fat? A fair figure for men is 12-15%, but for most women it’s about 16-20%.

How do you Measure Fat ?

Get a skin calliper – it’s pretty cheap and you can get it at your local drugstore. Remember how you used the callipers in school? Use them the same way. They are able to measure to within millimetres. If your losing weight, keep doing what you’re doing and don’t stop.

Don’t ignore the mirror in the bathroom too – it can be a great tool. All you need to do is look; you can definitely tell the difference between fat and muscle. It’s a great motivator – nothing makes you want to work harder than results that you can clearly see.

What Should You Aim For When Losing The Fat?

Your expectations, when it comes to weight loss, must be realistic. Set goals that are in bite size pieces and then go after them one after another, all this time making sure that you can achieve whatever you have set for yourself, but increase your capacity a bit more each day.

Be clear of one thing; never aim for skinny or thin as so and so. Aim for your ideal, healthy weight. Leave models and superstars out of it – that’s just them. Aim to be you at your best.

Do not discount the power of inheritance and DNA – sometimes it just runs in a family that they have more fat, others less. Acknowledging and accepting this will go a long way in helping you into a useful fitness program. Some people gain or lose fat faster than you – again, that’s how they’re made. Do your thing; just make sure to do it correctly and do it using the right methods. Don’t try to compare yourself with others – that’s a quick way to lower your self-esteem and demotivate you from wanting to lose weight and getting fit.

Many people, even with genetic dispositions that are not encouraging have got fit and got rid of fat. You can too. You want to know how?


For most people who are on the journey to weight loss, fitness and just general health, aerobic exercise seems to be the answer. They are advised – and follow to the letter – that they should do 30-40 minutes on the aerobic exercise on the treadmill, elliptical machine, and stair climber 3-5 times a week. And in fact, they might say the more the better – if you can make that 4 times a week, you’re doing really good. This thinking was brought on by fitness professional’s decades ago and has continued to last – only a wave of metabolic investigation due to the increase in the obesity cases has caused fat to be looked at more closely.

It’s been found that there are better ways.

Yes, you will burn calories while on the treadmills, but there are more effective and efficient ways to do this than through an aerobic exercise. But you might not see sculpturing of muscle or you might not see body fat loss – in fact, you might gain. And there are reasons for this:

1.    Long duration and low intensity exercises calls for the body to release stored body fat. This creates reserves because the body anticipates that you will need the fats. Immediately after your workout, your body starts to look to replenish its reserves. And there you go – you’ve gathered fat again.
2.    Secondly, regular rhythm for a fixed duration of time causes efficiency – doing the best you can with what you have. Bad for you because if your body ever needed more, lets say for fight or flight, it would probably fail. Even just normal stress can be overburdening. What does this mean? Increased chances of a heart attack, panic attacks because you feel you cant breath and there is just generally a lack of preparation within your body in case of the need for higher bursts of energy.

How then should you exercise?

Great question! Challenge your body to increase its capacity; make it stronger; strain it harder. Each day, make it do more like yesterday. Get each muscle to the best it can be.

The best way to do this is through resistance training. You’ll develop muscle, lose fat, and then you must remember to make it a part of your lifestyle. The more you work out, the higher your metabolism and the faster you are able to burn fats.

The more you train correctly, the more muscle you grow. And these muscles have to be fed too. The fats in your body will be used up and this is how you get a fat deficit. Repair and growth also need fat, and these are drawn from the fat cells that may have been excess. If there are none, they’ll be metabolized as soon as you consume them and your body will use them.

The other great benefit of resistance training is that it increases your heart and lung capacity for work. You teach your body to cope with literally anything within reason. You’ll end up with a much stronger chest and lungs.

How Long Every Day?

Not long: 20-30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week will do. That is enough to get you burning fat. And as you advance, you’ll be able to go for longer and have more endurance.

Make it a part of every life. There are people who have perfected the art of how.


By Rob Poulos, Fat Loss & Fitness Expert & Creator of ‘Fat Burning Furnace’

The majority of exercisers today still rely on long duration moderate paced aerobic exercise as their primary routine to burn fat fast.  But recent studies have shown that this is a big, I mean big mistake.  In fact, you could say that the whole aerobics explosion of a few decades past was one of the biggest mistakes in the health and fitness industry.  Why?

There are several reasons, but I’ll focus on the two main issues here.  When you exercise at a moderate pace for extended periods of time (as in the typically recommended percent of your target heart rate), your body is burning fat during the exercise.  While this may sound good, it’s actually bad news.

This sends a signal to your body to keep a certain amount of stored fat available for your next workout.  You’re essentially telling it that it needs fat available to burn, ‘because you’ll be doing this exercise again.  So while we may be burning some calories during this exercise, after the exercise is over, our body begins storing up some fat for the next workout.  Obviously not what we’re looking for in terms of maximum ability to burn fat fast.

The other big concern with moderately paced aerobic exercise performed several times per week is that it trains your body (heart, lungs, muscles, etc.) to become efficient.  Again, this may sound good, but what is actually happening is bad for long term health.  You are working only within your existing aerobic limits, without improving your aerobic capacity.

This is important because your aerobic capacity is what determines how your body responds in times of physical, emotional, and mental stress.  If you reduce your capacity for work, as you do in this type of exercise, you’re reducing your long term health, no to mention a poor chance of burning fat.

The good news is, you can reverse these effects by instead focusing your workouts on high intensity resistance training, with workouts that last 15-20 minutes on average, and can only be performed 2-3 times per week.

These workouts will burn carbohydrates instead of fat during the workout, and will cause your body to use its fat stores to replenish the burned carbs over the next 24 hours, after the workout is done!  This type of work will also increase your reserve capacity and thus your ability to handle all types of stress, leading to lasting health and fitness…and 24/7 fat burning.  Nice!

But the exercise must be performed correctly to be effective, and that means using sufficient intensity, and keeping your rest periods between exercises and sets down to 60 seconds or less.

The students of my Fat Burning Furnace method know this, and are reaping the benefits.  When you think about how little time you have to spend compared to the typically recommended methods to get these fat burning and health creating results, it’s almost magical.

Rob Poulos is a celebrated fitness author, fat loss expert, and the founder and CEO of Zero to Hero Fitness.  Rob created the world’s most efficient method for fast and permanent fat loss with his “Fat Burning Furnace” system to help those looking to put an end to restrictive fad diets, long boring cardio workouts, and the need for super-human willpower for good.

People spend lots of money on buying different eBooks or signing up for different programs. But then the question, which comes up in most peoples mind, is that, do these really work? Are they really worth paying for? Well, the answer depends on the program you are taking up. There are some programs, which will provide you with amazing results, and some might just lead to you gaining weight even more. So you have to choose a program very wisely.

Now you will find that there are some programs which address all the traditional elements of working out like exercising and changing the eating habits and so on. Now most people are fearful when they go for these programs because they have to stop eating certain foods that they don’t want to. But then you also have special programs, which allow you to eat these sort of food certain times a month. So this way you don’t completely lose out on anything. You get to lose weight and you don’t even have to stop eating those foods completely.

The second fear that people have is that of exercising. Most people are very scared when it comes to exercising since they think that they are going to start building up muscle or they might hurt themselves or they don’t have time and so on.

You will find many weight loss programs which will offer you exercises which don’t affect your muscles or exercises which require less time. This way, things become more convenient for you. These exercises are the ones which are aimed at boosting the rate of metabolism so that you can lose weight like never before.

Sometimes you will find many plans which leave you to do the planning about the meals but then they set the exercises routines and vice versa. These work too, so this way if you don’t like cutting out on food you can go for this and so on. You will see that there are some exercises available which help to set your metabolism on fire. So even if you have tiny portion of the really fatty food you will be able to burn off all the calories which you gain.

Now in order for the programs to work, you need to co operate with them too. You have to make sure that you exercise daily. Now exercising is not an easy task. Often people opt out for exercising once a week or sometimes they don’t exercise after a month or so and they want to lose weight even though they aren’t working for it. This is not going to do and you won’t lose anything in this way.

So have to make sure that to stay true to your program. Now this is also applicable for the diet. Often people cheat and have foods which they are not supposed to. You have to understand that although no one will know that you cheated you won’t be able to lose weight so it won’t help you in any way.

There are so many people out there who want to lose weight but either they have very little time to go to the gym to burn off their calories or they aren’t huge fans of exercising. Now you have to keep in mind that if you aren’t planning on going for body building and increasing your strength you have to stick to different workout plans, not the usual ones where you tone up your muscles. If you want things like endurance, general strength and even flexibility then using the traditional workout methods isn’t a good idea.

You will find that in the Fat Burning Furnace author Rob Poulos has a set exercise routine. If you read the book you will find that the author isn’t a huge fan of workouts, which are really long or even cardio vascular workouts. So if you follow his workout routine then you will see that you need a maximum of 30 to 25 minutes everyday and you need to workout for 3 times every week and you will be able to lose weight just like that.

The system of this book is going to focus on your entire body getting a proper workout. The program includes a lot of specific exercises but then it makes sure that you have to perform it very slowly so that the impact is maximized and that it concentrates on tiring your muscles out.

Now you will find that in most programs you need to do around 3 to 4 sets of exercise. But in this one all you have to do is one set! Hence you don’t have to work out a lot and you get to finish your workouts in very little time.

You will find that all of the exercises are describes in complete details in the guide and you even have pictures out there which show you how to go about the exercises and how to perform them correctly. If you get an upgrade, which is to something known as a “Blow Torch System“, you can even get two hours of videos, which will instruct you on how to go about those exercises.

Now if you are someone who hasn’t really performed in many years you will find that there is a “break in” routine, which is made just for you. You even have routines for beginners, intermediates and even advanced learners, which will help you to target very specific areas of your body.

Now this is mainly for the advanced learners since it might get to be too much for the new beginners and the main manual or guide, which is provided, is good enough for them. Now you will find that people usually go for this program because you have to do only one set of exercises. But then there more to that simple one set than what meets the eye. What you can achieve in 3 to 4 sets you will be able to burn off in that one set.

They’re called “visceral” fats, which are the ones who produce all the hormones and other things, which can adversely affect your health. The reason this affects you is that they are placed right next to the abdominal cavity.
