In an interview with the Metro, personal trainer Adam Stowell advocated a healthy diet and a good multivitamin to combat the development of man boobs in the first place.

“Take a good quality multivitamin, as this will decrease pressure on your liver, leaving it free to detox any bad oestrogens entering the body. Drinking green tea also metabolises bad oestrogens”, he said.
