Experimentation is great!! I'd love to here how you 'as a non vegan' just attempted veganism! It's not like you would be short of any food ideas either with @heart-to-heart around! I too used to be all about meat. I was in the military and meat was essentially our religion (as we had to stay strong). Now, 3 years later I can confidently state that I'm in better health and stronger post meat than during. Never would have discovered this if it wasn't for a little experiment going without myself...
