'Human Barbie' Valeria Lukyanova Before and After Photos: Moving Towards ‘Breatharianism’

Valeria Lukyanova, also known as the Human Barbie, has shown off her diet exercises in a new YouTube video to inspire people to live an active and creative lifestyle. The Ukrainian model is currently following a vegetarian diet and is looking forward to switching to the controversial practice of "Breatharianism," which its promoters say means you do not need to drink and eat to survive - only breathe!

Breatharianism is a controversial dietary philosophy where the person will rely solely on light and air and other "transcendental energy" to survive. Lukyanova believes that she can pull off the extreme diet as she claims she does not feel any hunger.

She also shared her secret to her Barbie-like figure saying that she goes running, goes to the gym, eats small portions - particularly herbs and vegetables.

Critics claim that breatharianism will most likely lead to death eventually as it will starve the body and dehydrate cells, however, Lukyanova seems not to be put off by the claims.

Lukyanova has been in the media increasingly over the past few years with many criticizing her for trying to look like a Barbie Doll. She has denied having rib-removal surgery to obtain her look: "Don't believe any stories about me having rib-removing surgeries - they aren't true. The only surgery I had was the breast surgery. My mother's waist is as narrow as mine. I inherited that from her."
