Can someone explain to me why we aren't supposed to eat 20 min before or after a meal? Is it just so we don't get full and not eat? or is there a safety medical reason? Thanks!

I really don't know why nor do I follow the before part. But this will explain the during & after.

thanks!! very good visual! now I get it

Right on, I was told it was about hunger too. This is very hard for me, I allow myself one sip and then wait the 30 min, I guess I just like to sort of clean out my mouth after eating.
