W&D should begin when participants wish to conceive. The intervention was standardized by training of research staff. Careful instructions about walking speed and diet would be given to participants assigned to W&D at enrolment and at each consultation.

No recommendations regarding diet or physical activity were given to controls. Antiemetics such as ondansetron would be given to controls complaining of vomiting.

The intervention was standardized by training of research staff and should begin when participants wish to conceive. Careful instructions about walking speed and diet would be given to participants assigned to W&D at enrolment and at each consultation.
Walking & dietary modification: 1. Daily walking at a moderate pace (4 km/h) > 40 min, 7/7. Those whose jobs required them to seat for long periods should walk 25-30 min twice a day, avoiding >12 h of physical inactivity. Walking may be replaced by stationary bicycle rides or swimming when convenient, such as near term.
2. At least two daily servings of protein-rich food (≥ 4 g/kg of meat, poultry, fish or eggs) per day. Avoidance of high-carbohydrate, low-fiber meals, such as snacks, candies, fiber-free juices, coconut water or sugar-sweetened beverages. Sucralose could be used as a sweetener. Participants were recommended to use ondansetron for nausea and vomiting prevention
