Try adding some greens to your breakfasts to mix things up. Keeping uric acid levels down during ketosis is important because it can cause some ill effects over time if that is neglected. Adding antioxidants to your diet will help with this.

With the massive rise in popularity in ketogenic eating, there is also a massive rise in "keto friendly recipes for..." which aren't keto friendly at all. Carb counts on labels rarely represent whats in the food. For example, you can look at a quart of Land o' lakes heavy cream and it says "0" carbs but in reality, it has like 3.4 grams per tablespoon. You can taste the lactose by just touching your tongue to it.
The real question is more like "what can i do with eggs, meat and cheese?". Be careful not be baited into bad advice simply because people chose for no reason whatosoever to claim something is "keto friendly". Even if your goal is not weight loss, its still not a great idea to bounce in and out of ketosis if you spike your blood sugar or cause an insulin response.
Our ancestors didn't have "great recipes". They had a weapon. They had meat. They had dried meat. They had fire. 
.... and for anyone with questions,... no, there were no vegetarians in our evolutionary history ... ever. |
They also lived until they were 20 so that is not a very valid example for this diet, but I hear what you are saying.
I think keto is pretty effective and I have had really good success with it over the years but it is pretty limiting overall and hard to reasonably sustain over prolonged periods of time. Ketosis doesn't need to be constant to be effective either. You get into ketosis quicker with intermittent fasting and can have similar results. As for spiking insulin, if it is done in controlled amounts it can actually aid in muscle building. Mixing keto with fasting can turn you into a fat burning machine pretty effectively.
