Pass the Carbs Digital Guide and 28-Day Meal Plan Mockup

Knowing your glucose targets doesn’t tell you what to make for dinner

Maybe you were given a meter and some nutrition advice, but you’re still not sure what breakfast, lunch, and dinner should look like. Or you’ve read plenty of advice and are having a hard time putting it into practice.

Pass the Carbs gives you meals to start with and explains how to use them. You’re not left with a pile of recipes and no idea what to do when a reading is higher than expected.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

A meal plan helps with today.

Understanding your food helps with what comes next.

  • Build a balanced meal.
    Use the Carb Confidence Formula to think through protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and fat without treating every food as either allowed or forbidden.

  • Understand your blood sugar. Learn what your numbers are telling you and what to look at before deciding a food “doesn’t work.”

  • Make changes without immediately cutting more food. Look at portions, pairing, timing, movement, and patterns so you can investigate before you eliminate.

No perfect eating. No carb fear. Just practical nutrition you can actually use.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This is for you if…

Newly Diagnosed

You need somewhere to start with meals while you learn what managing GDM involves.

You have advice, but not a workable plan

You understand that carbohydrates matter. You still want to see what that means on an actual plate.

You’re feeding more than yourself

You want meals you can work into family life, with room for leftovers, repeated favorites, and adjustments.

MEET THE DIETITIAN

Hey there, I'm Sarah

Sarah Rhea, MS, RDN, LD

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, mom of three, and the dietitian behind Glucose & Grace Nutrition.

I made Pass the Carbs because I kept hearing the same question after a gestational diabetes diagnosis: “What am I supposed to eat?”

A carbohydrate recommendation is one thing. Figuring out breakfast while getting your kids out the door is another. I wanted to put the education and the meals in one place, so you have practical help you can use alongside your healthcare team.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

FAQs

Clear guidance to help you make informed, confident choices for your nutrition routine.

Do I receive both meal-plan tracks?

Yes. Your purchase includes both 28-day tracks, plus the educational guide, recipes, and weekly grocery lists. You do not have to select a track before purchasing.

Which carbohydrate track should I use?

The ranges describe the example menus, not an individualized recommendation. Use your healthcare team’s guidance to choose and adapt a plan. If you haven’t received a carbohydrate recommendation, ask your OB or dietitian for one. Discuss the lower-carbohydrate track with them before using it.

Do I have to follow all 28 days exactly?

No. You can repeat meals, use leftovers, and make appropriate swaps. The plans provide structure, not a requirement to follow the menu perfectly. Keep your individual nutrition and treatment guidance in mind when making changes.

Will this keep every reading in range or help me avoid medication?

No. Pass the Carbs does not guarantee a particular glucose response or replace prescribed treatment. It gives you meal examples and a process for reviewing your response with your healthcare team.

Does it include help with fasting blood sugar?

The guide explains basic glucose monitoring, including fasting targets, but its troubleshooting section focuses on post-meal readings. It is not a dedicated fasting-blood-sugar program.

Is one-on-one support included?

No. This is a self-guided digital product, not individualized nutrition counseling or glucose-log review.

Are the plans vegetarian or allergen-free?

The plans include ingredients such as meat, eggs, dairy, wheat, and nuts. Some recipes provide substitutions, but this is not a dedicated vegetarian or allergen-free meal plan. Review the sample recipes and ingredient lists before purchasing.

How do I receive my files?

After you purchase, you’ll receive an email with a download link to access your files.

What is your refund policy?

All sales are final due to the digital nature of this product.
