Well in a way, yes. The body becomes more efficient, if that's the proper word, at using ketones and also spends more time manufacturing fat catalyzing enzymes. So it "forgets" temporarily how to process carbs. Protein breakdown becomes an easier process of getting glucose, so less insulin is used. Over time cells become accustomed. Any process you try over time, the body will adapt to. That's the beauty of evolution.
To combat this effect take more omega 3's, eat lots of salmon, if you want supplement with some ALA, d-pinitol and inozitol, or hypoglycemic inducing herbs like bitter melon or fenugreek (all of these excluding ALA can make you hungry so don't take too much in one sitting).
Hope this helps.
