Know Fear By Ben Mezrich
“LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY, BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT.”
It was a little after 2 in the morning, and I was standing outside a dive bar in
Osaka, Japan. The man next to me was wearing a bright-red Hawaiian shirt. He
reeked of cigarettes and Japanese whiskey. “There will be a table of men sitting
behind you through the whole interview,” he said. “You are not to look at them.
If you turn around, even for a moment . . .”
He left the thought hanging there, and I didn’t ask him to elaborate. I was
there to speak with a yakuza crime boss, and the man in the Hawaiian shirt was
my liaison. The yakuza aren’t like the guys you see on The Sopranos. They cut off
their own pinky fingers to give to their bosses when they do something wrong.
This was an insane moment—for anyone, really. And especially for me.
The thing is, I’m not a brave person. I’m neurotic, utterly cautious. Obsessive
hand washing, Purell addiction, a general level of fear involving electric plugs, balconies,
men over 6 feet tall—I have it all. After reading about viruses and bacteria,
I developed hypochondria so serious that my health-care
provider wouldn’t make appointments for me. Now I own
a handful of Israeli gas masks. Following a few terrible
flights, my fear of flying is so extreme that I can overcome
it only with numerous rituals.
And yet I’ve carved out a career by documenting the
exploits of wild-eyed adrenaline junkies who do dangerous
things—count cards at casinos, dig deep into the dirty world of big oil, steal from
ultrasecretive government organizations. To learn their stories, I often have to follow
them into harrowing situations. A contradiction? Not really. The embarrassing
truth is that I wish I had the guts to live life the way those thrill seekers do. But
because I don’t—and really, I know I never will—I can at least be near them,
along for the ride but never anyone’s prime target.
I used to think of this career choice as a loophole—a way to circumvent my fear
and live a little—but it’s turned into a bizarre form of therapy. I can never confront
all my little fears; there are just too many of them. But by making it through the
largest, most tangible of dangers, I can prove I have the ability to save my own
ass at any time. That yakuza crime boss? We talked. I learned what I needed from
him. Maybe he didn’t like me, but at least he didn’t kill me. And the next time some
meathead freaks me out on the subway, I can think of the bigger man I faced
down (okay, maybe that’s overselling it) and feel a little safer.
Because really, fear is about control—or a lack of control. By not taking risks
and confronting my fears, I gave them full power over me.
That’s why I accompanied a blackjack prodigy on a trip to rip off a casino. He
could predict when an ace would turn up in the deck—a pretty neat stunt that, if
discovered, could land him bloodied up in a Vegas back room. He told me all about
it, but I decided I wanted to see it in action, risk be damned. So we sat down at a
table and soon had eight or nine grand in chips to the plus side. I was feeling good.
Relaxed. Then he suddenly started to gather up our winnings, a stricken look on his
face. I glanced over my shoulder to see three large men in security uniforms coming
toward us. Here it was: the worst-case scenario.
Except, not. I’ve learned that in any dangerous situation, my first step should
always be to take stock of what I can control. I know that I can always walk (or
run) away, so I often plan an exit strategy. I map out where I can flee, and what
might bog me down. Maybe it’s not always realistic, but I do my best to think it
through. Because when I know I have a safety net, I feel less like I’ll need one.
But if I do need to run, my planning is useless if I panic and can’t think clearly.
Which is why, if things turn heated, I picture myself outside the moment entirely,
in a place of control. For me, that’s at the computer: I see the scene as if I were
typing it out myself, making rational decisions, navigating danger without the
scenery collapsing around me. That’s how I was thinking as I ran at top speed
out of that casino. Maybe the men were chasing me, maybe they weren’t. I never
looked back, and I was safe.
Moments like that can make you cocky. They can trick you into pushing your
luck, losing sight of the boundaries of safety. Which is why I still take my fears
seriously, even if I no longer let them guide me. They’re a good warning signal. But
now I feel in control of my neuroses and not the other way around. So what if I still
unplug every toaster, microwave oven, and TV in my apartment every time I leave
the house? I’m leaving the house, aren’t I? Leaving to find a man in a Hawaiian
shirt, who will tell me what to do.
Ben Mezrich is the author of the bestseller Bringing Down the House, which was the inspiration for the film 21. His
latest book, The Accidental Billionaires, about the founders of Facebook, is due out in paperback this May, and the
movie version will be released later this year.

Steal this move The giveand- run
Think you’re
smooth? Try
living up to Matt
of Minneapolis,
who told me
this story when
I asked my
Facebook fans
for their best
moves.
“One day, during a
stressful, hectic
week for my wife, I
left work and raced
home while she
was out—and gave
the house a full
cleaning. Stripped
the beds, washed
the floors, and
went back to work.
I came home that
evening to a wife
who was sobbing
with happiness.”
Nice, sure. But
here’s what made
it: He went back
to work. Had he
waited for her
return, it would
have looked like
he wanted brownie
points. And then
she’d have felt
obligated to put
on a show of gratitude.
The next time
you do something
sweet, make sure
it’s selfless—no
strings attached.
Believe me, the
reward will come.

My hook-up friend is visiting for the weekend.What do I plan?
My hook-up friend is visiting for the weekend.What do I plan?

If this is just for sex (you’re not falling for her, right?), then buy a box of
condoms and don’t prepare anything else. No romance, no candles, no sex
bunker. One reason casual sex can be brain-curdlingly hot is that there’s
no pressure to perform. You’re the rare guy she doesn’t have to worry about
impressing, so the more low-key you are, the more she’ll appreciate you. Just
be sure to prioritize her pleasure—and by that I mean more than repeated
and enthusiastic oral action. Send her flirty and inquisitive e-mails in the week
leading up to her arrival. Tell her what you’re “so turned on” about doing. And
ask, “What about you?” Then do that. With vigor!
On the beach, how do
I pick up women?
MIKE, PARIS, TX
With a six-pack of Corona
and a puppy. Don’t have
those? No problem—the
beach is the easiest place to
find an interested woman.
Just set up a game of bocce
or volleyball, or start building
a serious sand castle. (Skip
Frisbee; you’d be too far
apart to actually talk.) Then
watch for sunbathing babes
and invite any who peek at
you over their shades.
Why does my girl friend
want to make
out while we’re at a
bar with friends?
SAM, WILMINGTON, NC
She feels insecure. I’ve acted
publicly frisky when I wanted
to keep a boyfriend’s attention
on me, too. Had he taken
this advice, it would have
helped me chill: Don’t fool
around just before going out
(she’ll be hypersensitive to
follow-up affection). During
the night, keep the covert
reassurances coming: Hold
her hand, rub the back of her
neck. And whisper that she
looks so amazing you can
hardly focus. That’s what
she really wants.
I’m uncircumcised.
Is that a turnoff?
TIM, KANSAS CITY, MO
Not to me. But for some
women, maybe. It’s about
comfort—in what we’re used
to handling. If a woman hesitates
when she sees your
penis, she might be feeling
like she did back in high
school: What do I do with it?
That can make her feel awkward,
not sex-goddessy. So
laugh it off and reassure her:
Yes, there are differences
(like your sensitivity, so she
may need to lighten up on
the ol’ death grip), and you’re
happy to explain them. Or
better yet, guide her.
I heard my fiancée
tell her friend a sex
story about a former
fling. Is she still into
him?
MARK, ATHENS, GA
Hey, women try to one-up
each other with sex stories
just as men do. Problem is,
she can’t have you in the
starring role—because her
friends know you well and
don’t want the mental
image. Better that she talk
about that other guy: It
means he’s gone.

Paging Online Doctors
SCORES OF WEB SITES INVITE YOU TO SEND QUESTIONS TO UNSEEN MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. BUT ARE THEY WORTH THE MONEY?
THE TEST
We recruited J. Jacques Carter, M.D., M.P.H., an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard medical school, to write two detailed questions from imaginary patients. Patient 1, who had epiploic appendagitis (inflammation of appendages on the colon), reported a nagging pain on the lower left side of his stomach. Patient 2, who had pulmonary emboli (lung clots), complained of sudden spells of shortness of breath. Both conditions would require a physician’s care.

A Virtuous Vanilla
A Virtuous Vanilla

With just 3.5 grams of fat and 110 calories per serving, Breyers All Natural Smooth & Dreamy Creamy Vanilla is a smarter choice than the superpremium brands. (Häagen-Dazs vanilla bean, for example, has 18 grams of fat and 290 calories.) If you prefer a more embellished scoop, skip the chunks and swirls and stick to varieties with marshmallows (which are low in calories) or nuts (which add a dose of healthy fats).

When you stick your spoon into souped-up ice cream—with all those swirls of corn-syrup caramel, chunks of peanut butter cup, and gobs of brownie—you might as well be eating a giant candy bar. Enjoy some ice cream without all the dumb calories: Crown a scoop of vanilla with one of these simple, low-fat toppings.

Fitness foods - WILL YOU WILT?
Fitness foods
Overdoing it in the gym can leave you vulnerable to illness. Why? Because you’re stressing your body, which decreases the number of cells in your immune system. But a new Japanese study found that consuming a combination of two amino acids could counteract this side eff ect. The compounds, cystine and theanine, can be found in two of the best foods on earth: eggs and green tea.
WILL YOU WILT?
Don’t worry about missing an occasional workout: You can take weeks off from the gym without losing strength, according to research from Japan. In the study, people followed an exercise program for 3 months and then took a 3-month break. At the end of their hiatus, they were just as strong as they had been before taking time off. Of course, a long leave of absence isn’t recommended: After all, even if you don’t become weaker, your gut will likely grow bigger.

Stomach upsets? - Find your sea legs
Stomach upsets?
Bacteria in the guts of some mice (andhumans) could becontributing to the obesity epidemic.Researchers at EmoryUniversity found thatmice bred to have analtered balance of bacteriain their intestines were 20 percent heavier after 5 months than mice that weren’tbred that way. Changesin concentrations of some types of gutbacteria may causeinfl ammation, leading to an increase inappetite and insulin resistance, thescientists speculate.
Find your sea legs
In a new Korean study, people who downed a drink containing 72 milligrams of the seaweed extract ecklonia cava 30 minutes before exercising ran 30 percent longer than runners who hadn’t. The supplement is an antioxidant that may enhance endurance by increasing bloodfl ow and reducing lactic acid buildup, the scientists say.

SHUT-EYE SABOTAGE
SHUT-EYE SABOTAGE
A sleep schedule is vitalto any weight-loss plan.Too much or too little shut-eye can add extra pounds,say Wake Forest University researchers who tracked study participants for 5 years. In the under-40 age group.People who slept 5 hours or less each night gained nearly 2½ times a much abdominal fat as tho sewho logged 6 to 7 hours;also, those who slept 8 hours or longer added nearly twiceas much belly fat as the 6-to 7-hour group. People with sleep deficits tend to eat more because they're tired, says study coauthor Krister Hair ston, M.D, while those who sleep longer than 8 hours a night may be less active.

Americans consume 24 percent of their calories frombe tween-meal snacks and drinks—one-third more than in 1977, according to a new study in the Journal of Nutrition.Snacking can be good, if it’s kept under control and the snack contains protein. (Examples: cheese and nuts.)But that’s not what’s happening.

Can you trust the calorie postings at restaurants? Notalways, say researchers at Tufts Uni versity. They tested 15 meals or side dishes and 14 individ ual items (such as pizzasand sandwiches) from chain restaurants and found that, onaverage, actual calorie countswere 18 percent higher than what the chains stated. More important, the range of mistakes was huge. Some disheshad 36 percent fewer calories than what the restaurant claimed; other foods had about 200 percent more calories.The most likely reason for themis takes was fl awed portion sizes, researchers say.

Trace amounts ofpesticides in food “maybe enough to damagesperm” [“15 Ways toChange the World,”April]? Since readingthat, I’ve been eatingall the organic foodsyou recommend.
MAJOR CHALLENGE
I use a card deck to make mypushup workout more interesting.Aces are 15; face cards are 10—396 total. (The cards also help mekeep track.) I’m in my 50s and canstill finish a deck three or fourtimes a week. So after reading“The Pushup Challenge” [April],I figured 111 pushups in 3 minuteswould be a snap. I hit it on my firsttry, but I was exhausted. MartinRooney knows his stuff.
RAW BAR FAVES
In “The Awesome Oyster” [Bulletins,March], you failed to recommendwhat is arguably the mostsought-after variety of oyster inthe world: the Malpeque, which isharvested from a bay near myhome. New Brunswick’s Beausoleiloysters are pretty good, too.
IT WORKED OUT
The Spartacus Workout [MensHealth.com/spartacus] changedmy life. The results came quicklyand were exactly what I hadhoped for. I’ve since enrolled inthe International Sports SciencesAssociation’s Elite Trainer certificationprogram. You reopened myeyes to the fitness world.
PLANTS FOR POWER
“The Truth about Protein” [March]provided great information, butI’m vegan. For after a workout,what’s a realistic protein/carb thatdoesn’t rely on animal products?COLIN, TUCSON, AZMost beans contain 25 to 30 percentprotein and 60 to 65 percentcarbs, making them a great choicefor a postworkout meal. Try ameatless chili: In a medium saucepan,sauté half a small diced onionand a minced garlic clove until soft,and add a small can of your favoritebeans, a small can of pureedtomatoes, and 1½ teaspoons ofchili powder. Bring it to a boil, andsimmer until thickened (about 10minutes).—Eds.
REMEMBERING DAD
My father passed away 5 yearsago. Jacob Levenson’s “A Farewellto Father” [April] remindedme of the times I spent at hisbedside. A father wants to see theman his son has become, andbeing there allowed me to showthat to him. He knew he wasdying—he just didn’t want to doit alone.
My father and I had our differences,but no matter how I feltabout him, the fight he gave ALS[Lou Gehrig’s disease] was inspirational.He met with renownedspecialists, paid for round-the clock care, and traded in hisbeloved Cadillac for a speciallyequipped van. My lesson: Stayclose to your family, especiallyyour parents.

Is reading on my smartphone going to kill my eyes?
Is reading on my smartphone going to kill my eyes?
There’s no condition called “BlackBerry blindness,” if that’s what you mean. Instead, what you should worry about is the strain on your ocular muscles. The tiny text probably causes you to hold the phone too close to your face, which inturn can cause headaches, blurredvision, and dry eyes. “Keep your phoneat least 16 to 20 inches from your face,”says James Sheedy, O.D., Ph.D., directorof the Vision Ergonomic ResearchLaboratory. “And look downward at a15-degree angle below horizontal—thiswill increase the surface area your lidscover, keeping your eyes moist andrelaxed.” Also, invest in an antiglare protectivecover like ClearTouch’s shield($13, boxwave.com), and follow the20-20-20 rule: “Every 20 minutes, lookaway for 20 seconds at something that’sat least 20 feet away from you.”

Actually, it’s probably just enough. We’ve been told that whole milk is unhealthy, but
that advice is based on old science that some scientists have soured on. Here’s why:
Saturated fat—the kind found in milk—does not appear to be linked to clogged coronary
arteries. A 2010 review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found no association
between saturated fat intake and the development of heart disease and stroke.
Plus, British researchers concluded that drinking two glasses of whole milk a day
may actually reduce the risk of stroke by up to 20 percent. (Credit the calcium, which
can help lower blood pressure.) And don’t sweat the calories: The difference between
whole and 2 percent milk is almost inconsequential—149 calories per cup versus 122.

Can playing video games on the Wii help me lose weight?
Can playing video games on the Wii help me lose weight?
It depends whether you want to use
Wii Tennis as your go-to workout or as
a bonus calorie burner. “Video games
can play a role in your weekly regimen,
but they aren’t enough by themselves
to cause significant weight loss,” says
Kevin Short, Ph.D., an assistant professor
of pediatrics at the University of
Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. In
his studies with children, he found that
those who played Wii Sports games,
including boxing and bowling, at high
intensity burned 3 calories a minute—the
equivalent of walking 2.6 miles an hour
on a treadmill. (Short says these results
would probably be similar in adults.) So
in other words, don’t count on virtual
sports for real-world weight loss.

QIS THERE A SALAD THAT CAN BUILD MUSCLE?
QIS THERE A SALAD THAT CAN BUILD MUSCLE?
Yes, and it doesn’t look like a plate of iceberg topped with creatine croutons.
Picture something closer to a Cobb salad—a balanced mix of protein, fat, and
carbs. “Protein and carbohydrates work together to promote muscle synthesis,”
says nutritionist Alan Aragon, M.S., MH’s weight-loss expert. “Fats support
testosterone production, while also keeping you satisfied.” Since the ideal
muscle-building salad should contain at least 30 grams of each of these
nutrients, we asked Seattle chef Tom Douglas to create a beefed-up version of
the standard Cobb. This salad contains 650 calories, 49 grams of protein,
32 grams of carbs, and 35 grams of fat. When you need a break from beef, you
can sub in three large shrimp or a 6-ounce salmon fillet, says Douglas.

When your cup runneth over, Your belly fat does, too
When your cup runneth over, Your belly fat does, too
WHAT DO GOVERNMENT TAX
policy, $120 billion in fastfood
industry sales, and
the fl ab around your belly
all have in common?
Actually, two things.
First, they all seem like
enormous, unsolvable problems that complicate our
lives. Second, you can change all three—quickly—just
by having a drink.
Now hold on there, Mel Gibson. Don’t start signaling
for the bartender yet. Let me explain: A few years back,
Men’s Health published the fi rst edition of Eat This, Not
That! The book showed readers, through simple visual
comparisons and easy-to-understand nutritional information,
how they could lose 10, 20, 30 pounds or more—
fast—not by dieting, but by simply swapping one slice of
pizza for another (choose a Pizza Hut Fit ’n Delicious
over a Papa John’s Original Crust The Meats, and you
cut out 8 grams of fat), or by picking one drive-thru
burger over another (order a McDonald’s Big N’ Tasty
instead of a Burger King Triple Whopper, and you’ve
just whacked 700 calories off your belt line).
The result? You responded by snapping up nearly 5
million Eat This, Not That! books, and your knowledge
is giving you power over America’s most popular chain
restaurants. They’ve begun to change their menus in
response to your demands for healthier fare. After we
named Chili’s 2,710-calorie Awesome Blossom one of
the Worst Foods in America, the chain wiped the
greasefest from their menu entirely. Good riddance as
well to the Baskin-Robbins Heath Bar Shake (2,310)
and the Jamba Juice large Chocolate Moo’d (900).
But while I’m glad for these victories, we still have a
huge battle ahead: The average American man drinks
about 460 calories more each day than he did in 1965.

The Skin Saver
The Skin Saver

To avoid the breakouts that can be caused by SPF products, be sure to use a sunscreen that’s labeled noncomedogenic,” says Francesca J. Fusco, M.D. “Noncomedogenic means the product has been tested on oily, acne-prone skin and likely won’t cause pimples.” Choosing a gel-based product will help too; gels sit on top of the skin instead of sinking into it like creams or lotions do. If you are very active and sweat a lot, keep a package of makeup-remover wipes in your bag so you can swipe your face between SPF applications. Reapplying sunblock without washing your face can clog your pores and cause acneform—a condition that’s not technically acne but looks like it. Now that your face is protected, check out “Look Young from Head to Toe” on page 43 for tips to keep your body skin smooth and flawless.
