If Instinctotherapy is only eating what tastes and smells good in the moment, how do you know what to get when grocery shopping?
“The moment” doesn’t mean it changes every hour, usually not even everyday – except just after you have filled up with a particular stuff. For example, tuna fish smells good and thus you eat a lot of it till you have enough. Its smell will then leave you indifferent or even repeal you for some time, until eating more will be beneficial. It may be the next day or perhaps the day after, so you can leave the rest in your fridge or even dry it in the air flow of fan (or in the wind /sun) to keep it for a while.
It’s he same for every foodstuff. After practicing for a few weeks, you know roughly what you actually like and what you can buy or order without smelling it – which remains possible at markets anyway as long as the food is not hermetically packaged. Taste changes overtime, but usually not overnight. At the start, 24 years ago, I liked most fish species very much. Now there remains only a few fish species of temperate seas that I like (I still like most tropical fish). I generally prefer meat, shellfish or eggs.
I do my shopping almost every day. Besides that, I don't see what the point is anyway..? You don't need to have an infinite choice... You can eat instinctively from whatever you have available.
Sure. Shopping twice a week is enough for me; I can even live with once a week and survive much longer. I have at home a lot of wild boar and moufflon in a fridge, two different kinds of clams, dates and a few vegetables in another fridge, chestnuts, walnuts, macadamia, hazelnuts and a lot of apples from my orchard in the basement, persimmons from my orchard as well and a few avocados, tomatoes, pears and bananas that I bought yesterday. Also a big can of honey plus a lot of figs and prunes I dried myself at less than 40°C instead of let it be wasted. That’s about all.
