I’m pro abortion but I have some pro life in me.
Banning the abortion of a zygote seems ridiculous. So does aborting a seven-month-old fetus.
Why not go with: you can abort until the nervous system develops.
Clearly, an embryo without a nervous system can’t be sentient and thus can’t be a person, right? And as long as it’s not a person, it doesn’t have any rights.
According to https://www.neurosciencefoundation.org/post/brain-development-in-fetus, “an embryo’s brain and nervous system begin to develop at around the 6-week mark.” And: “At as early as 8 weeks (about 2 months), you can see physical evidence of the brain working (the electric impulses) as ultrasounds show the embryo moving.”
This idea is for viable pregnancies only. Other considerations may apply for non-viable ones.

According to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK542179/, “CNS [central-nervous-system] development begins during the 3rd week of embryogenesis…”

#5017·Dirk Meulenbelt, 2 days agoLess constant feeding can improve blood sugar swings and insulin sensitivity because every time you eat, your body has to run the insulin system again.
You can just eat fiber with your meals instead, that will slow down insulin secretion afaik.
#5021·Dirk Meulenbelt, 2 days agoI tried to look for good arguments against eating dairy for it being dairy and I cannot find any.
Some people are lactose intolerant.
One is that it's a way of reducing body fat, and overweight is likely a bigger problem for many people than potential short term negatives of fasting.

When a question is a criticisms, you want to mark your answer as a criticism too so it counts as answered.
#5010·Dennis Hackethal revised 2 days agoI could see that. Milk is hydrating. Yogurt is a good source of calcium and protein. Can go with low-fat or fat-free options to reduce calories.

Protein above 0.8 g/kg body weight is desirable, often up to around 2 g/kg.
Protein above 0.8 g/kg of lean mass is desirable, often up to around 2 g/kg.
There are hints that your body cleans up cells when you fast (autophagy).

Eating dinner earlier can be beneficial to sleep because digestion raises body activity.

Yes. Very easy to overconsume, especially from hyper-palatable foods which are often greasy. I try to eat around 60g of fat per day.

Per kg of lean mass. Someone who weighs 150kgs does NOT need to eat 300g of protein.
#4990·Dirk Meulenbelt revised 2 days agoWhole grains, nuts, and legumes are health-promoting staples.
Nuts in moderation. Very calorically dense, easy to overeat.
