Actually its getting that foot out of your big fat mouth doc. Plenty

Actually the cure to stop snoring is to take your foot out of your
mouth doc. Plenty of skinny people snore.

Take it out of your own mouth. There's a huge difference between
making noises when you sleep and having a medically diagnosable,
sleep-related breathing obstruction.
BTW, you're correct, plenty of skinny people *do* snore, and there
are even some skinny people who get full-blown apnea. As it turns out,
those people tend to be of eastern European descent.
Aside from that, the linear association between sleep-related
breathing obstructions and extra body fat is pretty much an established
medical fact at this point. Not sure why you're interested in quibbling
with that.

And in the meantime you might consider that going wheat-free
or corn-free has an okay chance of curing the problem as well.
I snore for two reasons: 1) eat anything with wheat in it, 2) scale
says my weight is over 210 pounds.
Any friend that mentions snoring I tell them how mine turned
off like a switch in week 2 of Atkins Induction. Then I ask my
friend to go two weeks either wheat-free or corn-free then
switch grains if it didn't worked. The worst case is four weeks
eating extra veggies, so there isn't much down-side to the
experiment. The numbers are about even for wheat, corn
and failed to work. To me a roughly two-thirds chance is well
worth giving it a try. More people trying it would give more data
and more data is better data!

Another quite incredible claim by the resident "expert." Now 2/3 of
people who have a snoring problem can be simply cured by eliminating
wheat and corn. If it were that simple, don't you think this would be
widely known by know? But apparently, only Doug, through his
scientific methods has figured this out.
Whats next?
