As Johnny Walker would say, keep walking. So no, it's not necessary to restart Induction. 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'm quoting myself, which means I screwed it. So adding to what I said above... If the baked beans didn't throw you out of ketosis, then you can move directly to OWL. But as I see now, you're on day 6 of Induction, so this doesn't really apply to you anyway.
