Changing up routine - diet/exercise and supplements

Mark,
looking for your advice, I've been following the page and Dr Dan recommends whey protein and other workout supplements.
I've been training for two year, lost 5 stone. However I'm now in a major plateau phase can't seem to get myself to losing the last stone and change my body shape to become more lean. I have a pretty hectic lifestyle, work, kids, navy reserve, training 5 days a week and now the icing in the cake Insomnia.
I've always been sidelined by trainers to stay clear of proteins and supplements and advised my diet should be enough. I however am wondering is it time to make this change? Would it help in conjunction with my diet and help curb the constant feeling of being hungry with all my training?
I don't want to throw away any more money, so if you could give me some advice? I'm pretty overwhelmed by the volume of information. I've got the HIIT book and I do want to put the principles Into practice, just feel I have to get the diet/supplements options right first.
Or the curve ball, should I wait again till your new product is available in the market?

For weight loss, the single most important thing is to eat lean protein, lots of green and other low starch vegetables, a small amount of fruit and then you can add an amount of whole grain starch that is moderate enough to allow you to continue to lose fat. So in that sense, you don't need supplements.
However, whey protein is not only healthy and supports you lean muscle but it also has a slightly greater effect on curbing hunger than other proteins. Also, gram-for-gram of quality protein, it's cheaper than chicken, beef and most fish...plus way more convenient (so you're less likely to miss out on getting your protein).
For you, the other potential supplements could be a pre-workout, which allows you to train harder with more focus and burn more fat and/or some kind of fat loss tablet (these work quite well for some people and not so well for others).
If you haven't seen my MuscleDiet Six-Pack Plan diet, check it out as a template regarding how to adjust your diet when you hit a plateau, See: http://fitnessinventor.com/articles/1789-musclediet-six-pack-plan
Oh ya, and for insomnia, watch your caffeine intake, alcohol, don't train late at night, only use your bed for sleeping (so don't hang out in it and do work or watch films, etc) and melatonin and GABA work quite well for some people.

I've been told I need to watch protein levels with respect to random drug testing in armed services as they give false results?
And I'll make a point of not net surfing when I can't sleep.
