A healthy eating pattern is crucial for optimal pregnancy outcomes and successful lactation. The preconception period is a critical time during which good nutrition benefits both the mother and the offspring. The presence of overweight and obesity, combined with poor nutrition, poses risks to maternal and infant health.
A healthy eating pattern is recommended for all life stages and is central to achieving optimal pregnancy outcomes and successful lactation. The preconception period is a critical window of time during which good nutritional status benefits both the mother and the offspring. The ongoing overweight and obesity epidemic, especially in conjunction with poor nutritional status, presents maternal and infant health risks. Preconception and postpartum weight loss are routinely recommended in clinical practice. In this review, we discuss the nutritional recommendations for healthy weight loss during these periods. Unhealthy weight loss during preconception and for lactating women, can cause adverse maternal consequences that can impact the offspring. (C) 2022 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
