Hi. I'm hypoglycemic too. Since having my youngest child 3 years ago (to the day!) I've been working on losing weight as well. Thus far I've lost 35 lbs and I'm working on losing another 20. I'm a lower weight now then I was when I got pregnant, but I was 20 lbs over to begin with.
Anyway, like Smellyorc, I am a Burn the Fat recruit. I highly recommend the book to anyone who has weight loss struggles. The exercise portion is hard-core and it's geared toward body builders, but following the eating plan and doing moderate exercise did wonders for me.
That aside, I find that the best (and only) way for me to lose weight; since I'm so carb-sensitive, is to drop the starchy carbs 6/7 days a week, stick with mainly lean protein, some fats, and fibrous carbs. I generally don't have more than 1 piece of fruit in a day. Looking at your plan those are the things I would suggest you try.
Also, I am a big believer in zig-zagging calories. Having some higher calorie days and some lower calorie days keeps your metabolism "guessing". I almost always found that if I hit a plateau I would start losing again after a day of eating more!
I see that you have received a lot of differing opinions, which I'm sure you expected on this board with such an eclectic group. I think you probably know what things are best for you intuitively. Try what sounds appropriate for a month or so and see what the outcome is. Good luck to you!
