Snoring gone - Changed Diet

    I've been a heavy snorer for years and had gone in to the Fitzwilliam clinic recently to see what, if anything, they could do for me. I wasn't all that happy with spending €2.5k where the results aren't guaranteed so I looked to alternative methods.

    I decided to change my diet at the start of this month. I cut out all junk food, bread, pasta, rice ... basically as much starchy carbs as I could. No more added salt to my food, only sugar I get is from fruit and my carbs are now veggie/fruit based. I eat a lot of protein from meat/egg sources and my fat is got from oils. I don't drink alcohol so that wasn't an issue but I did drink the odd 7up free so that's also gone.

    My snoring has all but gone and had done so within about a week of changing the way I eat. Before anyone signs up for a couple of thousands worth of treatment, see if changing your diet helps you out.

    Edit: forgot to add, no dairy either.

    No bread
    no pasta
    no rice
    no potatoes either I'm assuming
    no refined sugar
    no milk
    no cheese
    no yoghurt
    no alcohol

    So you're left with meat, vegetables and eggs.

    I think I'd prefer to snore, tbh.

    Yeah I would too if I slept on my own.


    I often wondered if diet affected snoring, especially dairy. Fair play to you Kenny, I was gonna go mental because I thought you paid 2.5k :p

    I think I'd prefer to live my life with some guilty pleasures than give up all of that! Snoring will only affect your partner anyway... :D

    I tried cutting down on carbs but don't feel as full. Tried going veggie and had no energy...

    Just be careful because complete withdrawal of carbs from what is supposed to be a balance diet will have negative effects on your metabolism/biological functioning in the long rung!

    My parnter snores on his back and at times I snore too, but there is no way I could let either of us give up that much stuff, we would be starving, we love our food.:pac:

    Fair play to you for being able to do that. It takes a lot of discipline I'm sure.

    i think the OP does not suggest you drop all those foods forever, it seems to be he had gained weight which causes snoring and by changing the diet he already did huge favor to his body

    i am curious how much weight did you lose before you saw a clear difference in your snoring?
