"The Rice Diet Program was founded in 1939 by Walter Kempner (1903-1997), a German physician and refugee from the Nazis, who was at that time associated with Duke University. Kempner had many patients with malignant hypertension with kidney failure, and there were no good treatments for those patients....The diet he designed consisted almost entirely of rice and fruit. The diet provided ?2000 calories per day. Kempner occasionally reluctantly permitted addition of breads or treats. In essence, the diet comprised 4% to 5% protein (<20 g per day), 2% to 3% fat, and the rest was complex carbohydrates" (wikipedia)
