A John Collins is a Tom Collins except with whiskey instead of gin.
Here's how a bartender would normally prepare a John Collins:
1. Fill a highball glass with ice. 2. Add 1 oz whiskey, whatever requested. 3. Fill halfway with sour mix or appropriate substitute. 4. Shake. 5. Fill rest of the way with soda water. 6. Add straw. 7. Garnish with a flag (orange and cherry) and serve.

It is said that on the Cape that "For every piece of real flotsam here we have 100 summer flotsams to equal that." It's a typical Natives vs. Anything-but-Natives arguement.

The actual signature is that when a smoker sneezes they will not make much sound because their lungs can't hold in as much air as non-smokers can. Their lungs are often constricted as if they have asthma and therefore will not retain much air inhaled before they sneeze.

The idea is that you will develop a better insulin resistance which will help you keep your metabolism in shape. It is highly advised in the diet that people stay away from saturated fats and trans fats.
There are certain foods that are permitted and certain foods that are advised against. The diet has therefore come under fire for being too restrictive and not examining more foods to be placed in these 2 categories.
The South Beach Diet is the main competitor of Weight Watchers. The 2 programs have had bitter battles for participants including advertising wars, claims against each other, boasting of their accomplishments and much more. For these reasons some former followers of these diets have resorted to diet pills, some of the most dangerous diet solutions on the market.

Believe it or not this has actually been backed up by real research by Hermann Ebbinghaus.
