halfway through the Daniel diet

To answer a few questions:

Has it been difficult? Not as much as you might think. Kelly has been instrumental in this effort: she's looked up and tried lots of new recipes. My lunches, even the ones eaten out, have usually been pretty good.
Do you feel any different? Yeah, maybe a little. I definitely don't feel as "stuffed" at the end of a meal, even a big one. I feel like my body may be digesting the food a little better as well.
Have you lost any weight? Yes, a little. The last time I weighed was yesterday, and I had lost about three pounds from the beginning of the month. I haven't really been doing any exercise to speak of, so I'm left to believe that it's simply been a matter of eating less overall, and more of the right things.
Are you taking a vitamin to supplement your diet? Yes, when I remember to.
Are you going to keep doing this after February? Not full-time, no. I think that I could easily see myself doing it for a week at a time or so, though. As mentioned above, it seems to have a good effect on my body.
What's the best thing that you've eaten so far? Probably the eggplant Parmesan, although the spinach enchiladas, spinach quesadillas, summer zucchini casserole, and the black bean chili that we've made have been quite good too. I'd eat any of them again.
Anything that you've tried that you wouldn't eat again? Actually...no! It's all been good.
Come on, level with us. How many salads have you eaten? Thus far, four.
