KevinJ - I unfortunately checked out your blog and its just a referrer for a dodgy looking commercial site isn't it? Just one blog entry with a link to the rip-off site - oh via clickbank, a commercial 'referral' service! I was hoping for some genuine advice, and I was disappointed.

Getting back to the real topic, I have had moobs since I was a kid. I put on excess bodyfat on the chest and on the stomach. Since losing some 48 pounds, I have greatly improved the problem. However, although I am at my perfect BMI, and perhaps looking a little gaunt in the face, and wearing small size jeans etc, I still have a bit of a wobble on my chest and stomach. Its the place that my body likes to store the extra fat, and its the last sticky-to lose residual fat.

After losing the weight, I decided to try and increase muscle mass, so I started strength training - and eating lots of lean protein, veggies, good fats etc. After three months, I am quite pleased with the progress that I have made on my chest - lots of bench presses, and I have grown 'pecs'. However, they don't solve the moob problem, not yet anyway. In some ways, they almost seem to enhance the problem!

So what causes it? Excess body fat, excess skin, undevelopment of the pecs, diary products, soya, genes, or a combination of some of the above? I still suspect that its too much body fat. I also have a loose flabby stomach (even though I'm into size 30 (US=10) jeans - I still have that little hangover) as well. Despite losing all that weight, do I still need to lose more? Or would cutting further simply make me underweight?

I'm going to carry on with the strength training programme for a few months or more. Then I'm maybe going to cut calories again (I'm presently eating excess calories for muscle growth) and increase cardio for a few months or so - see if I can eliminate the problem. If I fail, well, maybe I'm going against nature. I'm 44 years old, and had years of beer guzzling self-abuse, maybe its genetical, and maybe I should settle for all of my achievements so far - greatly enhanced fitness .... but not yet.
