Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to study the effects of a multicomponent lifestyle intervention that includes partial meal replacements as a means to prevent excessive gestational weight gain in obese women. The primary hypothesis is that the intervention will reduce the rate of gestational weight gain compared with standard care.
