A typical 5 Squares meal includes roasted
turkey with wild rice and barley.
A Leaner Way of Living
 IRED
OF PEELED CARROTS AND RICE CAKES? IF YOURE
looking for a healthy way to reduce your fat
calorie intake without compromising flavor,
5 SQUARES has a solution.
The new weight-management program, now
serving Darien, delivers live ready-to-eat
meals each day before 6 a.m. to its clients’
doorsteps. All you have to do is eat! It’s
that simple.
Monica Lynn, founder and CEO of 5 Squares,
says that the meals will not only help you
control your weight but also are delicious
and nutritious. The six-week program
delivers small meals (which are easier for
the body to metabolize than three large
meals a day) that are dairy and wheat-free,
and contain no additives or refined sugars.
One year old, the business already serves
more than ninety clients in Westchester and
Fairfield County. The majority of Monica’s
clients are men, interestingly, who say they
do not have the time or the patience to
prepare healthy meals on
|
their own while keeping long
hours at the office.
The menu is always different, which makes it
less like a diet and more like a lifestyle
change. A typical day’s offering might
include an egg-white soufflé with peppers,
onions and mushrooms, served with sweet
potatoes for breakfast. This may be followed
by a chicken with roasted peppers, artichoke
hearts, hearts of palm, fresh fennel and
three-bean salad in an Italian vinaigrette
over mesclun lettuce for mid-morning; a
boneless breast of capon stuffed with
escarole and fresh herbs served with
balsamic roasted eggplant and seasoned
potatoes for lunch; or chicken and apple
sausage with sautéed peppers, mushrooms and
onions for a midday snack. Dinner might be
traditional paella with saffron brown rice,
peas, carrots, olives, capers, boneless
breast of chicken, chicken sausage and
shrimp.
Ben Prentis, the owner of Bodytuning in
Darien, has helped popularize the program
among the yoga and body-building crowd. He
recommends it to many of his clients and
claims that 5 Squares is a crucial part of
living a healthy lifestyle.
This is certainly Monica’s belief as well.
She feels that because the program teaches
its clients how to eat proper portions and
nourishing foods, once the session is over,
people are left with the tools to eat well
for the rest of their lives. For information
