Gynecomastia + Intermittent fasting

I had a small amount at one time, there's nothing that can directly take it away. I had it from a big increase in testosterone causing excess oestrogen, so I upped my Zinc intake and this seems to help combat future gains of gyno.

It depends how bad your gyno is, If you have a hard lump behind your nipple then it is defo gyno, if you've just got itchy nipps and feeling a bit sensetive, your in the early stages.

If your holding quite a bit of fat, especially around the chest area, start exercising along side a good diet, wether it be Intermittent fasting, low carb high carb whatever, just loose the fat. Once you've slimmed down, and lost some fat the appearence of your gyno should look alot better.

Gyno is caused by high testostrone levels in the body, go see your doctor about it. there are a couple of meds that can reverse it, but if your in the latter stages the only way is to get it surgically removed.

get some pics of your gyno up so I can have a look

gynecomastia is caused by low testosterone levels, in relation to your oestrogen - basically its a hormone imbalance. there are several causes, and some of them can be pretty serious. id definitely recommend you go see your doctor about it. they can see if there is anything in particular that is causing this, and they can help with treatment.
i would say that dramatically reducing your calorie intake is not the best idea. instead just go for a healthier diet (cut out refined carbs and sugar etc), and reduce your intake to maybe 2000 calories a day (for men the RDA is 2500) with regular exercise. i dont know if this will help the gynecomastia, but it will help to lower your bmi into the 'recommended' zone. it will reduce your body fat, and the breasts are one of the first places to see fat storage in women...im assuming its going to be similar for guys??
but, as youre obviously bothered by your condition, definitely see a GP. theyll be able to give you proper advice!

from what I know the only way is surgery, but I really don't want to go through with any of that lol. hmm would you recommend me upping my Zinc ?

The gyno may not look as bad when your leaner, i don't know much on the subject but on bodybuilding.com there's a whole thread for people with gyno.

Dhaden would you be able to post the link ? as I cannot find it on bodybuilding.com

thanks bud

Hey mate how would I be able to tell whether I have false gyno or not ?

You shouldn't need surgery. I had gyno for about 6 months from my bulk last summer. I still have the puffiness which is annoying it will go when I cut. Gyno will disappear if you change your diet a bit but it takes a few months to fully disappear.

I came off Serious Mass which had different kinds of proteins and Glutamine. My body didn't seem to like this. I was advised to come off it by doctors which annoyed me because I found it really useful.

I don't know if that was the thing that was causing my Gyno but I now take Maltodextrin for carbs and whey protein with Creatine and BCAA's and I no longer have the hormone imbalance.

Good luck mate

thanks for the response mate, if I cut and keep it clean would the puffiness go away ? also what is the maltodextrin ? thanks

Should do, but if it doesn't, just accept it. No one will notice too much and I know for a fact that if you cut it will reduce in puffiness. Maltodextrin is the carb that present in weight gainer shakes. It's something I take to help increase my carbs when I'm having long days at uni.
