Objective  To examine the effects of Diet (D) and Exercise (E) interventions on cardiovascular fitness, waist circumference, blood lipids, glucose metabolism, inflammation markers, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and blood pressure in overweight and obese lactating women.    Methods  At 10–14 wk postpartum, 68 Swedish women with a self-reported pre-pregnancy BMI of 25–35 kg/m 2  were randomized to a 12-wk behavior modification treatment with D, E, both or control using a 2×2 factorial design. The goal of D treatment was to reduce body weight by 0.5 kg/wk, accomplished by decreasing energy intake by 500 kcal/d and monitoring weight loss through self-weighing. The goal of E treatment was to perform 4 45-min walks per wk at 60–70% of max heart-rate using a heart-rate monitor. Effects were measured 12 wk and 1 y after randomization. General Linear Modeling was used to study main and interaction effects adjusted for baseline values of dependent variable.    Results  There was a significant main effect of the D treatment, decreasing waist circumference ( P  = 0.001), total cholesterol ( P  = 0.007), LDL-cholesterol ( P  = 0.003) and fasting insulin ( P  = 0.042), at the end of the 12-wk treatment. The decreased waist circumference ( P <0.001) and insulin ( P  = 0.024) was sustained and HDL-cholesterol increased ( P  = 0.005) at the 1-y follow-up. No effects from the E treatment or any interaction effects were observed.    Conclusions  Dietary behavior modification that produced sustained weight loss among overweight and obese lactating women also improved risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. This intervention may not only reduce weight-related risks with future pregnancies but also long-term risk for metabolic disease.    Trial registration  ClinicalTrials.gov  NCT01343238
