A type of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjUkZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Dieting</a>. sports nutrition A subset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjUkZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Dieting</a> in which a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAkpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Person</a> controls their intake of food for the purpose of gaining weight in the form of muscle. DietingForMuscleGain bodybuilding diet weight loss diet DietingForWeightLoss Dieting is an activity that spans days, weeks, or months, in which the type of food and drink consumed is healthier and/or the amount is smaller. Disciplined form of eating in which the eater carefully controls what is eaten dieting low carbohydrate The collection of dieting events whose primary emphasis is on decreasing the proportion of carbohydrates in the diet. The Atkins diet is an example, and the Zone diet is considered one by many. Dieting-LowCarbohydrate action with only one performer A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVioQZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Action</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1IRJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SingleDoerAction</a> is an action which can have only one "doer" (see the predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1HmJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a>). Such actions may be intentional, but they need not be. Most bodily functions (e.g., the instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViYhJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Heartbeating</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjPypwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Bleeding_TheAction</a>) belong to specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1IRJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SingleDoerAction</a>, because the only doer of a normal bodily function is the body of a single agent. In order for a type of action (i.e., a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVioQZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Action</a>) to be a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1IRJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SingleDoerAction</a>, it must be inconsistent to assert, for any instance <code>ACT</code> of that type of action, both <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1HmJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> ACT X)</code> and <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1HmJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> ACT Y)</code>, where <code>X</code> and <code>Y</code> are different. Notable specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1IRJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SingleDoerAction</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjSm5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sleeping</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkJU5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Dying</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjXfZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AnimalWalkingProcess</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViMp5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WritingByHand</a>.

This predicate is roughly equivalent to rdfs:seeAlso. See Also URI type of temporally stuff-like thing TemporalStuffType A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVir35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a> (q.v.) whose instances are all and only those collections that are temporally stuff-like. A collection <code>COL</code> is temporally stuff-like just in case every purely temporal part (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWn4OZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a>) of an instance of <code>COL</code> is itself an instance of <code>COL</code>, unless it is a temporal part of a temporal granule of <code>COL</code> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjaJJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">granuleOfTemporalStuff</a>). More precisely, for a collection <code>COL</code> to be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVitN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a> it is both a necessary and sufficient condition that for any <code>OBJ1</code> and <code>OBJ2</code> (with <code>OBJ2</code> at or above <code>COL</code>'s temporal granularity level), if <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ1 COL)</code> and <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWn4OZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> OBJ1 OBJ2)</code>, then <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ2 COL)</code>. Consider <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi0gpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. Take an arbitrary instance <code>WALK</code> of this collection (say Miss America 2000's victory walk down the runway and back); and then take an arbitrary time-slice <code>SUBWALK</code> of <code>WALK</code> that subsumes at least one instance of (the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjaJJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">granuleOfTemporalStuff</a> for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi0gpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViYBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a> (say her trip back from the end of the runway). <code>SUBWALK</code> is itself an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi0gpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi0gpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVitN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViq35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a> for the disjoint notion of being temporally object-like. Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString This is the purposeful directing of one's food intake for a particular purpose, not necessarily weight loss.
