DankMemes said:post 108066This is a pretty embarrassing problem and is causing me a fair bit of grief. I'm about a year into peating and it's only starting appearing within the last 2 months or so. My nips get cone like and are very visible through my shirt, if they're hard when it's cold or I'm just out of the shower my chest looks completely normal, but I don't really want to be rubbing my nips in public
On physical examination, it is necessary to distinguish between psuedogynecomasatia, which is breast enlargement caused by increased adipose tissue, and true gynecomastia (Fig. 120-1). In the latter condition, there is an enlargement of the mammae. The glandular tissue can be palpated as radially arranged cords, usually around the nipple, and may form a discrete button-like mass or merge gradually with the surrounding adipose tissue. The areolae may be enlarged and convex, and the small areolar glands (glands of Montgomery) often are prominent. Frequently, the mammary papilla or nipple is enlarged and protuberant (Fig. 120-2). Breast tenderness (mastodynia) may be present, particularly if the onset is recent.
Given the long recognized role of estrogens in stimulating mammary growth, it is not surprising that high circulating estrogen levels of exogenius or endogenious origin can be associated with gynecomastia. More recently, however, gynecomastia has been noted in disorders with deficient androgen production even when estrogen production is normal, leading to the concept that gynecomastia often may be related to increases in the circulating estrogen/androgen ratio rather than to absolute increases in estrogen per se.
Hyperprolactinemia, which is implicated strongly in galactorrhea (milky breast discharge), rarely is a cause of gynecomastia. However, disorders causing increases in the circulating estrogen/androgen ratio may result in both hyperprolactinemia and gynecomastia as independent secondary effects.

About 3 months ago I was having problems with too much liquid, I found Matt Stone and stuck with that for ~4 weeks. I lowered sugar and milk intake and really up starch and fat, I was probably getting 5k cals a day eating like this. That is where I attribute my weight gain but I never noticed anything odd with my chest or a hint of gynecomastia. At the end of these 4 weeks my thyroid supp came in the mail so I decided to go back to strict(ish) peating again and hopefully the t4/t3 will help me manage any problems with heavy liquid intake, which it did/does.

To not develope man boobs in the first 7 months, then change your diet and have a problem soon thereafter seems pretty obvious why he is now having problems. Eating starch and fatty cheese could easily cause man boobs imo. Ray has said that the carcinogenic action of the super high rise in insulin from starch can raise estrogen, and along with that eating a decent amount of fat which also raises estrogen, and serotonin, which can cause prolactin to rise.. It sucks but as soon as you start a stress response it seems to have a domino effect on the stress hormones. Oh ya and earlier you said you ate 4000 calories, but crono says 3000... Big difference.. Not trying to be rude, just observing, also JUST OBSERVING Josh Ruben who also eats starch and a lot of fat ALSO has man boobs.. Seems to be very contagious indeed. But luckily based on study "male mice who eat adequate protein, get adequate vitamins and minerals, have a healthy bowel transit time via raw carrot salads and or phyllium husk, eat a low fat, low starch, high sucrose diet, get more calcium than phosphorus, and adequate red light, seem to be immune to the moobs virus." :Extremelyawsome Terrance 2008.
After the short stint with Matt I was on thiroyd, I upped my dose of cypro and cut starch/fat again. I'm definitely losing fat all over but the gynecomastia only appeared after Matt's protocol. I get your logic that it was likely a delayed reaction from Mr stone's work, I'm definitely not blaming Peat, I'm just stating the timeline.
I was eating around 4k cals but in this last fortnight where I've been more concious of what I'm eating in an attempt to slim down and hopefully reduce boob fat, I cut the red bulls, quit snacking on dates constantly and swapped to skim from 1% milk. So now I'm closer to 3k. In general it's somewhere between 3-4k, I don't eat exactly the same thing everyday, sometimes I might get some mangoes on special, or I might have an extra tbsp of coconut oil, extra potato, more fish and milk one day etc. The crono pic represents the core of my diet, and the dates, red bull, fish, mango kind of rotate. Sorry I don't mean to be inconsistent, I made this late last night And don't worry about being rude, I know you're just trying to help.
TheHound said:post 108135 have you tried a zinc supplement and eating oysters?
I tried getting fresh oysters but they make me gag and they're like a dollar each. I can't find a canned brand that's not soaked in PUFA so I supplement 25mg whenever I eat liver to balance out the copper and iron. I'm a bit unsure about zinc, it's suppose to strongly oppose aromatase and prolactin but I'm worried the supplement could cause more problems for my weakened liver. Maybe we should get Haidut on a zinc/selenium supp
Okay so here are some pics for everyone. It might seem quite minor right now but it still makes me very self concious, and it's only getting worse. Hopefully I'll have some after pictures to post in a few weeks/months. Its more than just an excess fat problem, I was fatter during the matt stone thing and didn't have ***s like this.

I'm not trying to be an **** but looking at your pictures it looks like you are bloated and carry a descent amount of fat. So if you want to get rid of the "gyno" get rid of the fat and water.

same process to get there either way...and he said it's not fat/water...
Isn't there a good quantity of magnesium in milk as well to balance calcium/magnesium? (even if lactose increases calcium absorption)?Brian said:Do you have any idea what your fat soluble levels are? I think one major problem people have on a high calcium/liquid diet is too much calcium and water gets in their cell unopposed by magnesium and it gets out of control. The over excited cell kicks out potassium, magnesium, sodium. Energy production goes way down. They whole body retains water. I have run into this problem several times before I realized what was going on.

I've read about minerals antagonism and the fact that non-organic (if they aren't chelated to an amino acid) are important for mineral balance but it seems that RP never talked about it (just that Zinc/copper/iron are in competition for absorption IIRC)?
Could be interesting to have more informations on this topic as a defficiency in magnesium seems to lead to hypothyroid symptoms...

Eat more parsley, supplement with 7,8 benzoflavone and Chamomile with 1.2-1.3% Apigenin @night.bro i've been having similar issues since starting. 2 litres of whole milk a day. i dont have gyno but my nipples have puffed up to the point where my gf has noticed. balls also do not hang as low and libido is almost shot. could coffee consumption have an influence on e? i take 50 grams of instant coffee a day for liver. cutting milk in half for a couple weeks and recplacing with starch & low fat meat meals
