About the Author:

Monica Lynn is the creator and CEO of 5 squares, Inc., which delivers healthy and delicious food to customers in the greater New York area. She has helped thousands of clients lose weight and improve their overall health and her 5 squares delivery service has been recommended by publications including the New York Daily News, Hamptons, Gotham, and Marie Claire. She lives in New York City.

From Publishers Weekly:

The daughter of a pair culinary whizzes who cooked up mouthwatering meals like mayonnaise fried chicken and Belgian waffles with ice cream, Lynn struggled with her weight for years until a bodybuilder turned her on to a new way of dieting: "eat more, eat clean." Now she runs a successful New York company that delivers low-carb, low-fat meals to its clients five times a day. Eating more often, she says, keeps "your metabolism running at its maximum performance level." And eating clean-no refined sugars or wheat, nix the dairy-"eliminates all empty calories." Readers who want to follow Lynn’s plan will find a surprisingly varied array of ideas here. Ethnic fare, such as Pasta Fagiole and Turkey Vegetable Stir-Fry with Rice Noodles, stands alongside more mainstream dishes, like Chicken Sauteed with Peppers, Eggplant and Mushrooms, and Baked Spice-Rubbed Salmon with Sauteed Spinach. Most dishes are unfussy and can be prepared with minimal effort; likewise, Lynn’s ingredients are common and will be familiar to many dieters (e.g., egg whites, skinless boneless chicken breasts, brown rice, Splenda). The five-meal plan is explained thoroughly the beginning of the book, but even readers who don’t care to follow it will find a number of healthy meal options in this volume.
