First off I be more worried about your BMI (nearly 16? Really? That's bad underweight, gain some pounds bro before you die!).

But anyways gynecomastia is caused by high oestrogen levels from puberty. The way to get rid of it is to decrease estrogen levels.

Drinking alcohol , smoking marijuana, taking some heart medications, eating unhealthy can cause oestrogen levels to steady or even raise higher.

I suggest eating more healthy. Here's types in food and beverages which can reduce oestrogen levels which will destroy your gynecomastia.

Decreasing intake of methyl xanthines such as coffee, tea, chocolate, colas and other foods or beverages that contain caffeine can lower oestrogen level.

Decreasing intake of sugar, white flour, and refined foods can also.

Decreasing intake of red meat and fowl. Organically raised fowl is OK.

Decrease fats, especially animal fats. Use instead unsaturated fats such as those in cold pressed vegetable oils.

Increase foods found in the cabbage family such as cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, etc.

Decrease dairy products such as milk, cheese, cream, etc but still eat certain amounts but not large amounts.

Increase complex carbohydrates such as vegetables, whole grains, etc

Increase the consumption of garlic and onions.

Be sure you are taking adequate amounts of selenium, iodine, beta-carotene and vitamins A, C and E.

Decreasing amount of zink, you should only take 50 mg of zinc a day.

And avoid grapefruit.

Decreasing oestrogen levels will get rid of your gynecomastia, reason why most teens loose gynecomastia in months or years is because their body naturally reduces estrogen, doing all of this will speed up the progress. I did this when I was 13 and lost gynecomastia in less than 2 months. Good luck!



Gynecomastia generally lasts a few months to a few years in teenagers. You can do all the chest toning you want. Work out as much as you like, and keep eating well to get your best growth.

This is just a fatty deposit near the nipples. You are a skinny guy, so eventually it won't even show. Just wear a shirt during workouts and forget all about it. By the way, it looks worse when you look down at it.
