That's interesting! My husband actually went through a study over at Stanford, about how alcohol affects your insulin resistance, or levels. He is from a family of diabetics. Turns out he has mild insulin resistance. After the study was done he wanted to follow some sort of plan, and so he started using Schwarzbein's program after I kind of explained it to him. He probably won't take the time to read those books though. I like the first one the most. Weight and depression are two things I have stuggled with lately, that are discussed. I like the chapter on "low-serotonin". Good for you!
