Keeping up with the eating habits of our cave-dwelling ancestors can be tough. Luckily someone has slapped together a handy flowchart for you to reference if you’ve hopped on the latest diet-craze bandwagon, the Paleo diet.

That cuts out dairy, grains, sugars and legumes, as well as all delicious processed foods.
