My Keto Diet

I've been trying to maintain a state of ketosis since I left the fasting clinic.  So far, I've been pretty successful.  I'm basically eating all of the things I decided I never would again, at the clinic.  Meat, dairy, oils.  I eat creme brulee, salad with meat and oily dressings, artichokes with mayo/balsamic vinegar dip, celery with either sunflower butter or flavored cream cheese, eggs (scrambled or fried), frozen veggies heated with butter, and for snacks I eat cheese and tons of nuts.  Obviously not that healthy of a diet.  Major reduction of carbs.  No fruit, which makes me really sad.  I'm never hungry, which is nice.  I've started supplementing with a spoonful of coconut oil twice a day, a green drink powder I mix with whipping cream and almond milk, and fish oil pills.  Recently I added a really expensive multi-vitamin, and suddenly I've had some energy.  I can sleep again, and actually get out of bed and get stuff done.  In August I started exercising again, and so far I've done at least three times a week, usually more.  Mind you, just fifteen minutes or so at a time, but my arms aren't as flabby, so that's nice.  And the headaches?  Much better.  The frequency is really reduced and even the intensity has dropped a point or two.  The diet still sucks, though.

I'm so conflicted, I don't know what to say.
