The investigators evaluate if changing eating habits and introducing a correct lifestyle in women with BMI >25 Kg/m2 would improve unfavorable maternal-fetal outcomes associated with excessive weight gain (EWG) during pregnancy. To pursue these goals, eligible women are randomly assigned to no intervention (Control group) that receive only a simple nutritional booklet about lifestyle and healthy diet during pregnancy without explicit caloric restriction or the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes Program (TLC group) that receive a caloric restriction (1500 Kcal/day divided in3 main meals and 3 snacks + 300 kcal/die for overweight or 200 kcal/die for obese women submitted to energy expenditure program) associated to a mild physical activity (30 minutes at least 3 days/week) The investigators use a tool that could easily and practically evaluate not only total GWG at term, but also changes in maternal body composition: the bioimpedance analyzer.
