Summary
This study tests whether a weight loss program for overweight or obese women (and their partners) before pregnancy can reduce the risk of their child becoming overweight. 240 couples are randomly assigned to either a very low-calorie diet and counseling or no intervention. The main goal is to see if the baby has less body fat at birth and a healthier weight at 12 months.
