It comes from apples... but the carbs are very low and it is allowed during all phases of Atkins.
Xanthan gum is also fine on Induction.
These are the nutritional facts on the Bob's Red Mill bag of xanthan gum: | |

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!"
