Abstract
A diet aid comprises a removable sleeve, having a timing circuit with user-adjustable delay, visual cues, and a slot into which an ordinary eating utensil can be inserted, the insertion of the utensil energizing the circuit, with the delay cycle triggered automatically as the user places a bite of food to their mouth.
