The "alternative method" when we talk about alternative products is when instead of spending big money on Ideal Protein products, we follow the IP protocol (the sheet from the clinic that tells you what to eat for each meal, which veggies and meats are approved, etc), but instead of using Ideal Protein packets we use "alternative" or "off-brand" products. Molly mentioned it in the other thread, but you need to do a side-by-side comparison of any non-IP products with IP products and make sure you are getting the correct calories, carbs, protein; pay attention to which products are restricted (8g of carbs or more and you can only have one per day) and which are unrestricted; check the Alternative Reviews threads to see what products people have triend and their reviews, so you don't waste a ton of money on something you don't like.
