Real Life Barbie Refuses Food and Water

Valeria Lukyanova, a Ukrainian model, plans to subsist on air and sunlight alone.  The 28-year-old has said that she maintains her doll-like figure from working out, however she has had one breast sugmentation surgery.  Lukyanova has made claims that she is from outer space and can talk to aliens through light.

Breatharianism, or Inedia, is a philosophy in the realm of fasting.  However, it has proven to be fatal with a number of followers dying from starvation.  Jasmuheen, originally Ellen Greve, is best known for pushing "pranic nourishment," which is the belief that a cosmic energy comes from the sun and can sustain one's life force.

Jasmuheen has been investigated for her claims and 60 Minutes investigated her fasting diet.  Planning to observe Jasmuheen in a controlled environment, the investigation had to be stopped after three days after a doctor declared Jasmuheen was risking kidney failure based on her examination results.

'In recent weeks I have not been hungry at all; I'm hoping it's the final stage before I can subsist on air and light alone,' Lukyanova told the International Business Times.

The Daily Mail reported that Lukyanova claims besides her one surgery, she only uses makeup and contact lenses to create her Barbie appearance.  When asked why she made her choice to change her appearance to be like Barbie, she told Inside Edition, "Barbie is the ideal woman."

However, Lukyanova has said she does not want to imitate Barbie.  She told the International Business Times, "What is written about me in the Internet is not true," she said. "I never wanted to be like the doll. I love myself too much to imitate someone, especially a piece of plastic...No plastic surgery I did not do, with the exception of breast enlargement."
