Valeria Lukyanova, a Ukrainian model whose ambition is to resemble the Barbie doll, now has a new goal – living off only air and light.

Valeria Lukyanova Becoming A Breatharian

Lukyanova, 28, wants to keep her slim figure, which amplifies her resemblance to the popular Mattel doll. One way she thinks she can do that is by adopting a Breatharian lifestyle, which she believes she’s close to being able to do.

"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.

Breatharians believe that people have the potential to live off prana – the Sanskrit word for the concept of “life air.” Some people who practice it arrive at prana by first becoming a vegetarian, transitioning to a raw food diet and eventually acclimating to breatharianism. While fasting plays a part in many world religions, Breatharians’ fasting doesn’t have an end point.

Lukyanova’s adoption of a Breatharian diet is just the latest in a string of surprising proclamations made by the Barbie-lookalike model. She’s previously intimated that she believes she hails from Venus and can speak with aliens through light. Lukyanova also claims she can travel through time.
