det gikk i

English translation: it was all about

Food & Drink
Norwegian term or phrase: det gikk i
The entire sentence: "Det gikk i faste, proteinkurer, tomatkurer og andre sultekurer."

I "know" what's meant, but paradoxically I can't put my finger on the English way of phrasing this. :-(

English translation:it was all about
Explanation:
Jeg synes kanskje "it involved" er litt mer formelt enn "det gikk i", så jeg foreslår dette alternativet
