Adderall is a dextroamphetamine that works to enhance the effect of neurotransmitters called monoamines. Stimulants such as Adderall increase blood pressure and heart rate, constrict blood vessels, increase blood glucose, open up the pathways of the respiratory system and increase dopamine levels, which may create a sense of euphoria.

Nothing here suggests that it would affect ketosis... in fact, it sounds like it might help the weight loss along... Usually by the 4th day of induction you are in ketosis if there are no cheats...
