What I love about this book is written in the first couple of pages. “No more dieting.” This book holds true to that statement. In this book she details how to make lifestyles changes that you can stick to. I love how this book provides options for every price point. A healthy lifestyle shouldn’t bankrupt you. This book provides the knowledge and mindset to embark on your health journey. If you’ve struggled in the past with fad diets, this book is for you.

I’m so excited to leave this book review. My wife and I are in our 60’s and want to live healthier and a friend recommended this book to us. We both learned so much about healthy eating and we didn’t feel overwhelmed or intimidated by any of the terms in this book. We’re older now and know healthy eating is important to a long life. We’d highly suggest this book.

I just finished the book: Don’t Complicate It Basic Nutrition and Healthy Eating Made Simply. The biggest takeaway from this book is It is “Not a diet. It is a lifestyle.” I agree with this statement 100%. I like that the author encourages people to read labels and choose those with minimal ingredients and naturally derived. It was great to see that she shares that many factors go into the best calorie intake for a person as it is different for each person. We are all unique there is no one-size-fits-all. I think the way she explains the importance of consuming a balance of Fats, Carbs, and proteins is well-written and easy to digest. She explains not only what they are and their importance, but shares which are the good ones to have and the others that don’t benefit us as much. She has great tips for eating healthy on a budget, a tracker, and some recipes which are a great addition I would have liked to see some variation for those who don’t consume animal products, or have gluten intolerance or other allergies. Overall a good book.

Laticia has done it again Don’t Complicate It-Basic Nutrition and Healthy Eating Made Simple.
In Don’t Complicate It-Basic Nutrition and Healthy Eating Made Simple, we’re shown not only the basic definitions, but simply answers as to how we can get our nutritional needs met to help build strong bodies but practical ways to get those nutrients with easy to follow recipes.
Laticia also gives us an excellent understanding of the dos and don’ts with information like good and bad fats, the rolls in which carbohydrates play, and the reminder that “when we eat great, we look and feel great.”

This book is amazing. I’m someone who likes simplicity when it comes to making healthier life choices. Thos book is what I need. I did not feel intimidated as I have when I started reading other nutritional books. It breaks down key points such as not all carbohydrates are bad. The book is beautifully written, very educational ( not in a boring way either) and the best part it has sample menu’s that doesn’t require strange foods that you have to hunt for in stores. There is so many wonderful aspects of the book which I could write about. I would recommend this to everyone. I know after reading it, I am going to use the tools to create a healthier lifestyle.

Very informational book, that does not complicate things in wellness balance of what you eat. The thought of macronutrients is an wonderful idea and concepts. So you can have an abundance of meat, fish, fruits and vegetables. Where we are in an world while others say vegan. But this books breaks down in the information of carbs/fats the good and the bad.

This book, Don’t Complicate It-Basic Nutrition and Healthy Eating Made Simple, was a very easy read, and very easy to understand! Laticia had the novice in mind when writing this book. It’s basic, but plenty of information to get you started on your clean eating nutrition journey. There are ideal nutrition plans, ideal snacks to eat, and a sample of what to eat to meet your daily caloric goals. I really enjoyed the book and will use it as a reference in the future!

Don’t Complicate It Book Review
When I tell you I learned a lot by reading Laticia “Action” Jackson’s latest self-help nutrition guide, woo! Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated, and Jackson gives readers a practical roadmap to having the healthier bodies that we all desire. Fruits and vegetables are so good but I’m guilty of forgetting that while chomping down on so over-processed sweet “sickness” in a box.
By this time of the year, many of us who started with lofty goals for eating 🍎 healthier and exercising who fell off might have given up. I know I did. However, Jackson reminded me that it’s never too late to jump 👍 back into the game. Since reading her book, I’ve been keeping track of what I eat and thinking about moving more when I slip.
I’m just a book 📚 enthusiast who loves a good read, and this was just that. Get your copy when the book is released.

This book is amazing and it reminds you that being healthy is a lifestyle. It focuses on other health benefits than just losing weight. Fad diets do not last long. The information in this books gives you tools to be healthy, how to eat the proper foods for your body.
Antonia Coleman –
This book is very informative, who knew that understanding how to calculate body mass and macros was so easy. I didn’t. The guide to understanding food and how it works for the body will definitely help my with choosing a better meal plan. It really isn’t that complicated. I appreciate all the efforts Action Jackson put into making this understandable.
