How to stop eating food!?Follow

Once you chose the option to eat when hungry or drink when thirsty, you can't seem to turn it off until you run out of food. If I'm running around doing quests or simply standing idle, selling stuff in my room, I don't want to waste food.

I have to place my food in a bank to stop. There's gotta be a better way.

I have wondered that myself, leaving my character on while I doze for a few hours, forgetting that i have food in my tanned leather ruck sacks. Alas there is no way to turn it off other than putting it in the bank, but that is more work than meant. I have gotten into the habit of checking my buff line for the Food and Water icons, if they are flashing, then I need to eat and drink again, otherwise I will notice after a hard battle and I am not gaining mana and health back regularly. I am sorry to ruin your hopes, but I have not found a way.

Eating and drinking helps with power and health regen I believe. I have noticed a fair increase in my power regen when I have food and drink set to eat/drink when hungry/thirsty

Ya, the rate difference is extremely noticable IMHO. I can't stand the regen rate w/o food.

Is that all it does though? Or are there any other effects?

I've also wondered if more expensive foods have extra effects besides extended duration and faster regen.

Remember that you can always right click on the food icon in the buy window if you want to see any extra stats. If there are no stats there, then it's probably just normal food. Though I'm unsure about it lasting any longer. I've always had food that lasts the same amount of time (15 minutes) as the water and bread I started out with.

The option to "Stop Eating" is not present in the list, unless it was just added in todays patch.

Ya, I think you just have to eat to survive kind of thing.
I've tried both options on the food menu as well, and nothing works.
Hmmm, I wonder if I should put my food in the bank and see what happens when I don't eat for an hour or so lol.

I crafted some sugar pecans for fun and ate one, it indicated I had eaten a home-made meal and it lasted twice as long as the normal bread ration.

I feel your pain, the only way to stop yourself from eating is through willpower and dedication. When most people diet, they try to forgo everything at once, which is a very difficult way to do it. You have to find healthy alternatives to the things you love to eat. Whatever you do, don't just stop eating altogether as the original post suggests, that almost always leads to you dying. Just remember if you can't do it, that there's almost nothing wrong with being fat. Hope that helps, lol.
