Frequently Asked Questions:

When will your book be on shelves?

My book’s release date is December 15, 2012. So, it will be available just in time to be a thoughtful Christmas gift for moms.

If I buy the book when it is available for pre-order, when will I receive it?

You should receive the book by mid-December, 2012 at the latest, or maybe a little sooner.

I work for a company and we’d like to buy your book in bulk for event or corporate giveaways. How soon can we get copies of the book?

The book may be available for direct-ship wholesale as early as October, 2012. Rush shipping fees may apply for books shipped before the December release date. Please send inquiries to my literary agent Sally Ekus at: sally (at) lisaekus (dot) com or 413-247-9325. And if you do end up buying my books by the case, please let me know so I can send you a big virtual hug.

Where can I buy your book?

Currently, my book is available on Amazon.com. It will also be available though at other major book e-tailers and retailers. Buy on Amazon here while it is on pre-sale.

How do I get a signed copy of your book?

I will be doing book signings beginning in December (more info to come). If you are unable to attend a book signing, you can mail me your book along with a pre-paid return postage envelope, I will sign it, and then send it right back to you. Or, you can mail me a regular envelope with pre-paid postage and I will mail you back a signed bookplate (large adhesive label). Just let me know who to address in my personalized note.

Will you be signing books at a store near me?

My publisher and I will work diligently to schedule a book signing wherever I have pre-planned travel. I live in Gilbert (Phoenix, Arizona), so there will be quite a few in Arizona. I also travel to Las Vegas, Palm Beach, FL, New York City, Los Angeles, and Milwaukee fairly often, so you can probably count on seeing me there, as well as other places I visit for conferences, speaking engagements and vacations. If you or a friend own a store that sells cookbooks, or if you have a favorite bookstore, let me know and let’s try to set something up!

Will your book be available on Kindle or Nook?

I am exploring the details about this. More to come.

Have a question not found here? Get in touch with me via email at michelle (at) dudashnutrition (dot) com or by phone at 480-907-6948.

 

Plan ahead, rest easy. My book is a great Christmas gift for moms and baby shower gift for moms-to-be.

TV Nutritionist in Phoenix Shows Healthy Frozen Drinks on Arizona Midday, NBC12

Cut mango from TV Nutritionist Michelle Dudash

Arizona Midday host Destry Jetton asked me to come in to the show today and talk about healthy frozen drinks, now that the thermostat is hitting 100 degrees in Phoenix.

Here are the tips and recipes I shared on how to make the healthiest and tastiest frozen drinks.

  • Added sugar under many names is what usually racks up the calories. Instead, rely mostly on naturally sweet fruit, which also provides important nutrients.
  • Make sure the fruits are ripe and in season, for optimal sweetness and slightly soft texture for blending.

Phoenix TV Nutritionist Reveals 5 So-Called Health Foods That Are Loaded with Sugar

TV Nutritionist Reveals 5 So-Called Health Foods That Are Loaded with Sugar

The average American now consumes 22 to 28 teaspoons of added sugar per day, which amounts to about 400 empty calories that few of us can afford. Excess calories lead to weight gain and increased disease risk. The American Heart Association recommends women limit added sugars to 100 calories per day, or 25 grams of sugar, and men limit intake to 150 calories per day. This morning on Sonoran Living Live (ABC15), I exposed five foods that are not as healthy as you may have thought, and I offered alternatives with lower amounts of added sugar.

Food and Nutrition Writer Debuts Column in The Arizona Republic, Awarded Book Contract

Arizona Republic

Oh, how I’ve missed you all. It feels so good to allow the words to flow freely again. You could say that I’ve been a bit occupied.

Welcome Back Healthy Grocery Shopping Haul and Pre-Halloween Bonus

Fry’s Marketplace healthy grocery shopping haul

After returning home this week from a family funeral, I found myself feeding Scarlet applesauce three days in a row, and eating a grilled cheese sandwich filled with wilted spinach and grainy refrigerated tomatoes. Grocery shopping couldn’t be put off another minute. I barely managed to race through the store alone post-workout, before the babysitter left.

Meanwhile, I’m madly testing recipes for the cookbook that I am working on (more details to come soon). My hairdresser painted my roots as I typed this. Not a… More...
