If you are struggling with body weight prior to pregnancy you are wrestling with an inefficient leptin system that will invariably increase the risk for problems during and following pregnancy. Whenever possible, you should be at a proper body weight for at least six months prior to getting pregnant. Minimally, you should have weight issues trending consistently in the right direction before getting pregnant.

In addition to the Leptin Diet and consistent refreshing exercise, various nutritional supplements can assist your body so that leptin functions more normally. This can significantly assist you in your weight management efforts. Any effort to lose weight should take place before pregnancy. Any caloric restriction during pregnancy that is intended as a weight loss effort is not healthy and should never be done.*
