NCT ID NCT05518604
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether virtual dietary counseling helps active duty women lose weight after their first pregnancy and meet military fitness standards. Seventy-four women will be randomly assigned to receive either intensive diet coaching or standard postpartum care for one year. Researchers will track weight, fitness, sleep, and diet to see what works best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
dietary counseling
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that virtual dietary counseling helps active duty women return to weight and fitness standards after pregnancy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 74 participants, so results may not apply to all women. Weight loss depends on many factors, and counseling alone may not be enough.
