Years ago I heard of a difference of opinion on this matter. A Dr Jaques
Fraedin (sp?), who was reportedly in with Burger on the early days of
instincto experimenting but soon split off, prefered that people go more
with their visual and/or intuitive clues for what to eat on instincto.
Burger, of course, has always said that smell/taste choices are best.
Fraedin claimed that folks who ate by intuition didn't have the very light
colored stools he claimed smell/taste instinctos had--and further that
those stools resembled a sick animal's stools not the "healthier" darker
stools that intuition instinctos had. Having used both smell/taste and
intuition freely I have never been able to tell from my own stools whether
this was true. Fraedin also thought that overeating was the biggest problem
for instinctos and argued that a taste change was not a reliable guide for
quantity. (If anybody knows anything more about this Fraedin guy perhaps
you can correct anything I written from memory and second hand gossip above
;))

One problem with only using your intuition is that, say you need oysters
but have never eaten them before, your intuition is probably unable to
direct you to oysters without experience. Perhaps is pays to test as many
foods as long as possible to widen the scope of raw foods your metabolism
"knows".
