nazis are SUPER into the following things:
1) perfecting the body through discipline
2) returning to a lost "authentic" golden age
3) eating a lot of meat
of course they're into the "paleo" diet

there are kind of two strands here. one is the early Nazi health food movement, which actually advised lower meat intake to reduce dependence on food imports. the 20th-century eugenics movement was strongly tied to advocacy of vegetarianism at this time https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-14/natural-food-and-nazis-fascism/10236768
after WWII, vegetarianism and low meat consumption became more popular in Western and European societies, and more associated with the Left, women, a rejection of aggressive masculinity. so now, Nazis are very pro-meat https://www.vice.com/en/article/mvbwwb/a-vegan-cafe-was-attacked-by-meat-wielding-neo-nazis
A number of people in the contemporary far right have advocated extreme, very meat-heavy diets, most notably Jordan Peterson and his daughter Michaela Peterson, who claim to eat only beef, salt, and water https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/08/the-peterson-family-meat-cleanse/567613/
our Paleolithic ancestors probably had very different diets depending on their environment — humans are omnivores, therefore adapatable. but generally people in environments with a decent amount of vegetation ate a lot of plants https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/paleo-diet-may-need-a-rewrite-ancient-humans-feasted-wide-variety-plants-180961402/
