i'm no expert, but in your situation i would react by staying on induction for however long i thought i needed to be in induction. obviously you want to get back into ketosis (if you are no longer burning fat after the ice cream treat). or as tril said, until the cravings are gone.

ice cream is one of my favorite things in the world. that and pasta. i know you are supposed to lose the cravings, and ignore them when they pop up instead of substituting something for them that's induction approved, but sometimes i just need a bite. i do give into my sweet tooth, but not with stuff i really love like ice cream. i have some cream cheese coulds in the freezer. i did the math and can have 6 of them to equal 1 carb. i don't need 6 tho, because they are very cold and hit the sweet spot pretty quickly. be aware that not everyone will react to this method in the same way, which is why it's advised to just ignore the craving until it goes away. if you give in, you could be setting yourself up for MORE and stronger cravings, for a longer period of time. only you can tell how feeding the sweet tooth with an approved substitute will direct you. with me, i'm not so inclined to reach for the ice cream or a candy bar or whatever else.
