A New Zealand woman has gone viral for the huge amount of food she goes through on a hangover day.
Tamika Taikato is best known for posting a series of videos to TikTok showing what she typically eats on the day after a heavy night out and they have left people stunned.
The 26-year-old from Aukland admitted to wolfing through over 9,000 calories in one day and can spend as much as €92 on takeaways from places like McDonald's, KFC, or Domino’s.

As well as food from these restaurants, she's also filmed herself enjoying hot dogs, BBQ pork noodles, cream doughnuts and pies - anything to 'soak up the booze'.
Tamika's videos have been viewed over four million times, with many fellow TikTok users having lots of questions.
She said: "One day I think I ate around 9000 calories and when I added it up I'd spent around $150 NZD on food that day - which is shocking but food cures me!
"McDonald's is definitely my favourite hungover food and my order is a double cheeseburger, large fries, ten-piece nuggets with sweet and sour and mayo plus a coke zero and strawberry milkshake.
"I'm not joking - when I'm going to eat McDonald's I feel like I've already won in my head. On the way there my hangover improves and once I pick it up I'm ecstatic.
"I also love steak and cheese pies, they are literally the bomb when you feel rough. Likewise, same with a bacon and egg quiche from our local bakery."
The food lover continued: "When I'm hungover I just want variety so give me it all Chinese food like pork dumplings and bbq pork noodles always go down a treat and I love Thai food as well.
"I just think about the grease to soak up the s***ty feelings, vegetables don't appeal to me whatsoever. When I look at them I think you could make me feel better but heck no!
"Hydration is also very important when battling with a hangover so I make sure I drink boatloads of water, alongside coke zero and a few milkshakes too.
"I would normally get in from a night out at around 2 am and I don't pick up food while drunk so when I wake up at 9 am I'm starving and craving fast food.
"I wait until the breakfast menus have cleared at half ten and then head out to McDonald's or KFC first - grab and go then back to bed for some seriously needed sleep!"
Tamika adds that she's always had a big appetite and it was actually friends and family who convinced her to take to TikTok to showcase just how much she can eat.
She says she does work out a lot in the week to balance out the food - and also thinks she must have quite a high metabolism.
"My friends and family aren't surprised at all because everyone who knows me knows how much I eat but it was actually them who encouraged me to make the videos," she explains.
"I must admit I've had some hate comments which is upsetting.
"However, they've basically disappeared now and if I see any I just ignore them or delete them because I made the videos for fun and nothing more than that.
"So many people comment like 'How do you eat all that and still look good?' to be honest I'm lucky because I do have a high metabolism - evidently.
"I do workout though, normally around four or five times a week and I do a lot of weight lifting. Although you won't catch me running because I hate it!"
