20 grams a day for three days was originally the inception/induction phase to place the body in ketosis in the mid 1990’s under various weight loss programs that existed then. Then to 30 grams of carbohydrates.
50 to 100 grams of carbohydrates is considered to place the body in standard or basic nutritional ketosis.

I gave up on it back then (was not feeling so well) and now look at it?
