Every Monday morning starts with the same dialogue ‘From this week, I’ll stick to my diet and not let it ruin,’ and diligently every week, my trainer reminds me to count my macros to achieve my nutrition and weight goals. It is a never-ending cycle.
This Monday, I told my trainer I do not want to count calories but instead move to an ‘intuitive’ approach to diet. To this, he made a point which made sense to me.
He is all for intuitive eating, but for me to develop a proper intuition towards nutrition and diet, he said, I must stick to the rigor of counting macros for at least a few months. Practicing calorie counting for a few months will help me nurture my intuition, and eventually, even without calorie counting, I can make better nutrition choices.
This can be extended to trading as well 
Many traders don’t follow a system to identify a trade or manage risk, but instead rely solely on ‘gut’ or instincts to trade the market. I’m all for instincts-based trading, but you must put in years of systematic trading and risk management practice for your instincts to work in your favor. Over time, you will intuitively know which trade to take and which ones to avoid.
Without years worth of systematic trading experience across different market cycles, gut or instinct-based trading is as useless as me doing intuition-based dieting
