Weight Loss reverses sleep apnea. This is not news to weight loss physicians. However, there is a very nice study published in the British Medical Journal where weight loss from a low energy diet resulted in the best improvements in sleep apnea for the patients who had the worst sleep apnea. 67% of weight loss patients went from severe sleep apnea to mild … or even cured. 17% of weight loss patients had complete cure of their sleep apnea.
