If you are towards the end of it and plan to move to OWL, then go back to Induction for a few days, until you get back into ketosis. Otherwise, just finish your 14-days.
Since you didn't have a "clean" Induction, you will be unable to accurately determine your degree of metabolic resistance from the table on page 158 of DANDR. But you will continue to lose weight, and getting back on track from where you fell is better than restarting Induction over and over again.
You should also figure out what triggered the cheat and what you can do to avoid such thing from happening in the future.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
