Scaffolder looses almost 8 stone after ditching Greggs breakfasts

A scaffolder says he feels like a 'new man' having lost almost eight stone thanks to the help of a well-known local nutritionist. Luke Franco, 43, of Leicester, lost seven and a half stone in less than a year thanks to online nutritionist and former body builder, John Clarke, who is from Nottingham and known for helping people turn their lives around.

Luke came across John as he was a fan of boxer David Allen, the popular British heavyweight fighter known as the White Rhino, who was a client of John's. Luke said: "I'm a huge huge fan of his and when he started working with John I went on John's page and had a look at the work he had done and I thought wow.

"I suppose you just get comfortable with life and you see yourself everyday and don't realise how bad things are getting, so you do sort of just eat when you feel like it and eat what you like." Luke initially signed up in November 2021 to do John's '21 day challenge' where he lost an incredible two stone in just 21 days.
