THE ESSENTIAL PALEO DIET SHOPPING LIST

When you’re grocery shopping on the Paleo Diet, one thing’s for sure: you won’t be putting many boxes and cans in your cart.

Get ready to shop the perimeter of the store for whole foods, or better yet, head to a farmer’s market for the freshest—and purest—meat and produce you can find. (Specialty health food shops may also carry some Paleo-friendly items the big chains don’t, but you should be able to find most of these foods at your go-to grocer.)

The Paleo Diet Beginner's Guide>>>

So, are you ready to overhaul your diet? We talked to Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint, and PaleoPlan.com’s nutrition therapist, Neely Quinn, to come up with a list of Paleo-approved foods—and basic guidelines— to get you started.

MEATS 

Here are your 10 essential animal proteins. Buy them fresh (rather than processed and cured), hormone- and antibiotic- free, and naturally raised—whenever possible.

1. Beef
2. Buffalo/Bison
3. Chicken/Turkey (take note: all poultry should be eaten skinless)
4. Duck
5. Eggs
6. Game Meats (think: rabbit, venison, wild boar)
7. Goat
8. Lamb
9. Organs (kidneys, livers, marrow, sweetbreads, and tongue)
10. Pork

FISH

Now, this is by far from an exhaustive list of Paleo-friendly fish, but these are the most common varieties you’ll see in a market or on a menu. Always go for wild-caught fish over farmed, if you can, and eat the canned kind—like tuna and salmon—sparingly.

1. Anchovies
2. Bass
3. Cod
4. Flounder
5. Halibut
6. Mahi Mahi
7. Salmon
8. Sardines
9. Shellfish (including crab, clams, lobster, mussels, scallops, and shrimp)
10. Tuna

FRUITS

There are no fruits that aren’t allowed on Paleo, and most experts recommend eating them at every meal. So instead of a list—we’re giving you three simple guidelines to think about when buying:

1. Limit high-sugar fruits, such as bananas, dates, mangoes, pineapple and watermelon, especially if you’re trying to lose weight.
2. Buy dried fruits, but consume them in moderation (read: sprinkle a spoonful on your salad or mix a few in when you’re snacking on nuts). They have a greater concentration of sugars, so they pack a bigger glycemic punch—meaning they aren’t the best for keeping your stomach full and your appetite stable.
3. Don’t forget avocados. They’re technically a fruit as well as a healthy fat.

Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada box office: Simbu film rocks worldwide

It looks like Simbu’s Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada is in for the long haul at the box office as it opened on a strong note at all centres across the country despite the shortage of currency among the general public, due to the government’s ban on Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denomination notes.

Not just at home, the film helmed by Gautham Menon has also opened to a very good response in the US. “Thank you for all the love & making #AYM a BLOCKBUSTER.The effort, the wait, the issues-all feel justified.A big thank you from me & STR,” Gutham tweeted to the superb repose to the film, which was released on Friday after a long delay.

According to reports, AYM opened collecting Rs 65 lakhs at the Chennai box office, which is touted as this year’s third highest opening after Rajinikanth’s Kabali and Vijay’s Theri. The box office numbers from other parts of Tamil Nadu and country are not yet available.

The film, meanwhile, has also become tax-free in Tamil Nadu. It has met all the requirements to receive 30 percent entertainment tax exception from the state government, which will add to the profit margin of the film.

AYM has hit 90 plus screens in the US, giving Simbu his career best opening there. The Tamil and Telugu versions have raked in 70,000$ from their premier shows on Thursday. On Friday, both versions together have grossed more than $120,000, said film distributors Tentkotta and Praneeth Media in a statement.

Academy Award-winner AR Rahman’s music and the popularity of Simbu-Gautham combination has worked in favour of the film from the business standpoint.

People across India queue up outside banks, fear ATMs may run dry

Thousands of people lined up outside banks and ATMs across India on Tuesday, a day after a bank holiday left people stranded with no way to access cash or exchange money.

The queues in front of ATMs were longer as people feared the machines will run out of money soon, a week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the scrapping of Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes to drain illegal cash from the economy.

“Why did they allow banks to stay shut when they know how people are struggling to even buy basic grocery items? How long are they going to take us for granted? I woke up at 4.30 am to rush to the ATM so as to avoid queues, but did not get cash anywhere,” Ankit Girdhar, a resident of south Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar, said.

In West Bengal and the Northeast, reports poured in that ATMs in many remote areas haven’t been restocked since November 9 -- a day after the demonitisation scheme was announced.

“You can’t depend on ATMs as they are running out of money in no time. But when I came at 7:30 am I was standing in a queue behind more than 50 people,” said Ashish Poddar a school teacher in south Kolkata.

Many traders and middlemen in Assam and other parts of Northeast resorted to earning commission to exchange 500 and 1000 rupee notes with those of smaller denomination.The Assam Tribune reported that small traders in eastern Mizoram resorted to using paper coupons to trade due to scarcity of currency notes of lower denominations.

In Hyderabad, many travellers said bus operaters were accepting devalued currency but not returning the change. Other passengers said they had to go hungry for hours as they had no change to buy even snacks and tea Suryapet. “Our business has come down by 70 per cent,” lamented Laxman, the supplier at a roadside restaurant.

In Allahabad, ATMs evacuated of old notes are still being loaded with the 100, and 500 and 2000 . So, the ATMs are not expected to function smoothly for one more week, said a senior bank officer Ashwini Tewari.

This bank holiday has clearly hit the government’s plans to ease the currency flow: It will take time to load notes in ATMs on Tuesday morning and the government’s easing of restrictions on small businesses and certain rural sectors will add to the rush of people at bank counters.

Finance minister Arun Jaitley had assured people that banks would operate at full capacity on November 14 in states where Guru Nanak’s birthday is not a holiday. But in more than half of the states and union territories, Monday was a bank holiday. Banks were open in some states, including Gujarat, Tripura, Mizoram, Goa and Kerala.

A few state-run bank branches operated with skeletal staff on Monday, said a banker with the State Bank of India.

“Our bank branches are operational in 18 states to serve the customers uninterrupted after the demonetisation was announced,” an Axis Bank spokesperson told Hindustan Times.

In New Delhi, people who had planned to queue up outside ATMs early in the morning, had to return disappointed as shutters at many locations were down.

ATMs inside metro stations in the national capital also disappointed those who made a dash for cash early morning.

People commuting to work were the most affected as they were hoping to withdraw some money before starting out for work.

In Mumbai, the cash crunch has hit autorickshaw and cab drivers. Drivers of black and yellow taxis, three-wheelers and taxi fleets complained of falling business as people are avoiding travel due to lack of liquid cash.

In Kolkata, authorities of most banks loaded cash in more vans than usual on Sunday so that they could pump the money into the ATMs on Monday. Still, it was enough to meet just a fraction of the demand.

In smaller towns such as Karnal, it was even worse with people scrambling to find ATMS which had cash in them.

With ATMs drying up, little children in many homes have turned out to be saviours, thanks to their piggy banks. The change they saved has helped their parents buy grocery.

If the chaos worsens on Tuesday, criticism that the government was underprepared to manage the demonetisation exercise will grow.
