Preconception is a stage that could critically influence subsequent antenatal and postnatal health of mother and offspring. In Singapore, approximately one-third of women are overweight and obese during the preconception period. In the present pilot study, the investigators aim to introduce a simple, self-administered tool that can identify discrete components of an individual's diet, which would lead to self-awareness, self-evaluation and self-education, and over time, results in a positive change in eating habits and health. Specifically, the study aims i) to validate a newly developed tool that comprises six main dietary components (6P), namely Portion, Proportion, Pleasure, Phase, Physicality and Psychology in overweight and obese women during the preconception period; (ii) and to assess the short-term intervention effect of the 6P tool on dietary attitude/ practice and body weight changes over one month. The investigators hypothesise that intervention using this 6P tool in overweight and obese women will help them to promote healthy eating behaviours and reduce body weight. This study targets to recruit 50 overweight/ obese preconception women, from KK Women's and Children's Hospital, to evaluate the effectiveness of the tool over one month. The process for the pilot study is estimated to take six months to complete. This validated 6P tool is planned to be applied in a preconception targeted intervention cohort in order to build a positive mental model in healthy eating among overweight and obese women, enhancing awareness and belief towards weight management behaviour, and promoting a healthy life cycle.
