I don't aim for 20 carbs a day either. When I posted that I was doing lazy keto before, I just wasn't more careful with how I ate. My cholesterol dropped but not as much as it did now.
As long as we are in ketosis, we are using fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. As I said, I use keto sticks instead of strictly counting carbs now. I pretty much know when I have eaten more than I should.
I eat a piece of cheese, I eat sour cream and creme cheese too. Sour cream has 0.3 grams of carbs and for example, cheddar cheese has 0.4 grams a slice. If I did not include these each day, I would never get enough fat in my diet. My cholesterol was worse on a low fat diet than it is now.
When I say that I am strict now, that means no sugar, no processed carbohydrates, all "real" food.
