Systematic review of clinical trials on dietary interventions to prevent excessive weight gain during pregnancy among normal weight, overweight and obese women. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth. 2011;11:81. The primary outcome of this meta-analysis was gestational weight gain and the results were significant (1.92 kg less weight gain in the lifestyle group). Five studies were pooled for the outcome of GDM, and there was no significant effect.

Six studies of diet and exercise did not have a significant effect on GDM.
