False

Nutrition before, during and after pregnancy directly impacts the health of a mother and baby. Prior to becoming pregnant, women should achieve and maintain a healthy weight. If a woman is overweight or obese, she should follow a reduced-calorie diet until she achieves a healthy weight. Once pregnant, a woman's energy needs increase due to the growth and development of the fetus as well as maternal tissues and an increase in the mother's blood supply.
