No need for that. There is a reason why I said "at least for the fasting part". I have an idea of what it is. Supposedly kosher diet is good for you and it helped the Jews avoid certain poisonous fares, such as the part about not eating any aquatic life that does not have scales. I still think however that one is committing a sin by desiring those foods that are forbidden and going through great lengths to obtain replacements.
