We systematically reviewed studies to examine changes in women's diets from pregnancy to post-pregnancy period and sought to understand the characteristics of women making these changes. From a search of 4 databases and up to November 2019, 17 studies met our inclusion criteria. They reported changes in various dietary aspects. Mixed findings were reported for changes in energy and micronutrient intakes. Most studies reported significant decreases in fruit and vegetable consumption, diet quality and adherence to a healthier dietary pattern during the transition from pregnancy to post-pregnancy, while increases in discretionary food and fat intakes were observed. Women with lower education level, lower income and/or who work fulltime tended to have poorer dietary behaviors post-pregnancy. Further research, with better aligned dietary measurement time points during pregnancy and postpartum and standardization of dietary assessment tools, is needed for future studies to be comparable.
