Diet guideline for dosha

I was wondering how strictly should i apply the ayurveda food guideline for my dosha. I know you're a advocator of fermented foods and meats but that goes against the recommendations for my dosha which is pitta. Can i still have these types of food occasionally? How do i balance all these foods or should i strictly adhere to my dosha food guidelines. If i should follow the ayurveda guideline, wouldn't I be missing out on some vital nutrients? Thanks Shelley for your time? I curious to how you are doing? Are you working on any cleanses or what is occupying your mind these days. Also do you have any book recommendations on health and self healing? Thanks again! Hope you're having a great day.
