| Y'know, I was going to post my advice, based on losing 65+ pounds in the last 8 months, but pretty much everything I would say has been said here already.
My wife is also losing weight with me, and she has sleep apnea. I notice it, and it was worst at her top weight, and has dropped off somewhat with her weight loss. I also note that if her breathing is impeaded in any way, say with hayfever, it gets much worse as well.
Anyway, eat healthy food, lowish on the carbs, high on the veggies, small portions often. That'll do the trick. I'm very wary of no-carb diets like Adkins, as I feel that leaving out carbs entirely can't be good long term, but if it works short term, I can't fault it too much. Just remember, you also have to keep the weight off, and anecdotal evidence that I've heard is that Adkins has a poor record in that respect. Note: I have not actually done research, it's just something someone told me.
I'm actually following a modified version of the 6 Week Body Makeover, and it's a pretty good plan. I've changed some details, but it's got solid science behind most of it. I understand both Body for Life and The Zone are similar.
