The Rice Diet was started by Walter Kempner in 1939 at Duke University. He used it to successfully treat hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. The diet consisted of white rice, sugar, and fruit juices. It was infamously difficult to stick to, causing Kempner to whip several patients to discipline them. Still, there were many success stories.
