By prompting members to take a stance, you make them more likely to engage, share personal experience, and discuss sources or studies. Revealing the answer afterward adds suspense and makes the learning process memorable. This approach also builds community trust, as you can correct misinformation while keeping the tone fun and supportive.

Choose a template that fits your community's interests and current discussions. Post the statement and invite members to comment 'Fact' or 'Fiction' before revealing the answer. For extra engagement, encourage members to explain their reasoning or share relevant experiences. Use polls, comments, or story features depending on your platform. Always provide credible sources when sharing the correct answer, and thank members for their input to keep the conversation positive.
For all platforms, adapt the format to fit your main channel: use Stories or Polls for quick engagement on Instagram and Facebook, threaded replies or polls on Twitter, and dedicated posts or discussion threads on forums and groups. Always pin or highlight the answer for visibility, and tag active members to encourage participation.
Use the Fact or Fiction format to present widely held misconceptions—such as 'eating fat raises cholesterol' or 'all carbs are bad'—as statements for your community to discuss. Provide evidence-based answers referencing peer-reviewed studies or reputable low carb resources after members have voted. This approach educates your audience and fosters evidence-driven conversations.
Customize Fact or Fiction templates with statements that apply broadly, but also occasionally spotlight the nuances between keto, Atkins, and other low carb plans (e.g., 'Keto allows more protein than Atkins: Fact or Fiction?'). Encourage respectful discussion around these differences and use follow-up explanations to clarify how recommendations vary across sub-approaches.
Absolutely! Fact or Fiction statements like 'Net carbs include all fiber: Fact or Fiction?' are highly relevant. After the community votes, provide educational content on calculating net carbs and explain tricky ingredients (like erythritol or inulin), which are common sources of confusion in low carb diets.
Address controversial statements with extra care by providing balanced, science-backed explanations after community engagement. Always cite your sources and remind members to consult healthcare professionals for personal advice. This builds trust and positions your community as a reliable source of information, while also encouraging respectful debate.
Try prompts like 'If weight loss stalls on low carb, increasing fat intake always helps: Fact or Fiction?' or 'Cutting dairy can break a plateau: Fact or Fiction?'. After discussion, explain common causes of stalls, debunk myths, and offer practical tips tailored to low carb dieters.
