Disable eager relations

In my project I have many Eloquent models that have eager relations configured in class like this:

protected $with = [ 'countries', 'roles' ];

But sometimes I need just old plain model without any relations. Can I somehow do:

Model::noRelations()->all()

Really don't wanna use query builder nor create another class just for few occasions.

If you have to set the $with property on your model rather than leaving it empty, you can manually override the relationships that need to be eager loaded like this:

Model::setEagerLoads([])->get();
