I'm reading an article about JUDDD and found this:

According to John Daugirdas, MD, a kidney specialist and author of The QOD Diet: Eating Well Every Other Day (White Swan Publishing), salt is key. "We're used to taking in so much sodium that when we eat less—and therefore consume less salt—we feel weak and washed-out," he says. To obtain what he considers the bare minimum "off" day nutrients—1,500 milligrams of sodium, 2,000 of potassium, and 300 of calcium—Daugirdas suggests sodium-heavy canned tomato juice, plus several mini meals of vegetables and a little protein: an egg white, half a slice of cheese, or his secret weapon, olive-oil-packed sardines. "They have lots of protein and healthy fat to stave off hunger," he claims.
