BEIJING, Feb. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Romanian Ioana Spangenberg, 30, tips the scales at a miniscule 38kg, but claims her diet is consistent with a woman twice her size.

With a 50cm waist and 81cm hips, Ioana's hourglass figure - which she says she's had since a teen - causes a lot of controversy.

Yet Romanian Ioana insisted: "No one seems to believe it, but every day I eat three big meals and I snack on chocolate and crisps all the time. I just have a small stomach. It's a bit like having a natural gastric band — if I eat too much, I feel sick."
