I actually never gave up coffee and did just fine. It is one of those things that can affect some people and not others. Experiment and see what happens.

As far as the veggies go-I did not gain all my weight because I ate too many veggies! Probably had more to do with the french fries, bread, pizza, potato chips, bread, and bread. If you are going to go a little over on the broccoli, I don't really see that as a huge problem.

Welcome!
