Not necessarily because you can be satiated with fats and protein far more effectively. I think its a "don't starve to death" reptile brain response. You body isn't in a fight to stop ketosis, its a natural part of our energy cycle. It just so happens in our society carbs are more readily available, they were gar harder to get in the paleo times.
Most hunger (in the Standard American Diet) would be due to insulin spikes and crashes.
Tip: if you find your sleep is lowering in quality while doing this try having a teaspoon of honey (with equal amount of MCT oil if available) right before bed. The good source of carbs provides necessary building blocks for brain recovery.
