I throw my two pence in on this. I know a lot of competitive bodybuilders and people who work in that space and this man is a con artist. Put it this way - serious bodybuilding competitors, who admit themselves that bodybuilding is basically a celebrated eating disorder, are appalled at his plans.

People, especially those who have basic or limited exercise experience, are massively over exercising on very low calories with limited guidance. The risk of serious injury or collapse is real on his “diet”

He is a bully of the kind that if you don’t follow his ridiculous regime, that even the most dedicated of bodybuilders would refuse to follow, it must be YOUR fault. Never mind it’s completely unsustainable and if you sustain what he expects then I’m sorry to break it to you but that is, at best, disordered eating.

Someone I know who used him as he was cheap (he is for the realm he was operating in at the time) and he had to hound him for the plan, it was obviously not personalised at all, food was the same daily, HUGE amounts of cardio that risked injury and counter productive to the goals he had.

I can’t comment on what he does these days as I’ve avoided him like the plague since but I know he was mostly driven out of the bodybuilding world as a serious coach due to being known as a dangerous rip off merchant.

I know at the time, he was vile to women so if he is aiming plans at women and attempting to shame them into losing weight with barbaric tactics, I would not be surprised. No one close to him lasts long, they all get fed up in the end.

edited to say - I HIGHLY recommend following Caroline Girvan programmes. I wouldn’t suggest a coach unless you have a specific goal in mind, or someone who you have really researched who practices what they preach. There are a serious amount of rip off merchants about.
 
Definitely sounds like she got top treatment due to her followers and others are not getting the same experience. Notice she's very careful about saying the diet works great. Then only thing annoying me about it is she was so passionate about it whilst promoting it all the time. She never mentioned weeks of staying the same weight or anything.

Just came here to say the exact same thing.
Anyone who has been in the fitness industry from way back knows what an absolute lying disgrace of a fitness salesman this fella is. From the fake degrees, to training Olympians to fake charities.


I feel sorry for anyone who goes on this fellas plans, as he’s using extreme diet plans that are used by bodybuilders for the 40 year old mum down the road who wants to lose a few lbs before Spain.

“but they work?” Yes because it’s called starving and developing EDs as a result of it.

That Nadine might look good, but I can tell you now her quality of life is in the pits to sustain that, unless she has decent genetics…

avoid, avoid, avoid and please take your money anywhere else than this con.

Also who’s Jess, I want to see her stories. I’m so glad someone’s calling him out on his copy and paste plans.
 
Wish she would tell us the real details. She’s being very careful about what she says which I understand. He’s a horrible man, I wonder if he called her out for going off plan when she went to butlins as it appears to me he doesn’t want people to have a life and just follow the plan continuously. Weird as his wife doesn’t follow it

I am not aware of her but having watched her stories, this is classic behaviour from Scott, I can see it in her face.

I would say she is warning Scott in these videos. She is alluding to what’s gone on but also saying things like “there is a lot I could say but I don’t want to” so I would say she wants to walk away with peace but is wanting Scott to call the hounds off.

I think the comment around not wanting to lose more weight is very interesting - I can imagine that is something Scott pushes for, he wants everyone on stage, I think it’s his bitterness about rejection from the industry but if he wasn’t such a Walter Mitty con artist who doesn’t have the body to back up what he wants, he would have been fine.

Maybe Jess has seen the light, maybe she wants to start her own business which I’m sure Scott will fuke about as his ego can’t take competition. I think she is incredibly brave because I know exactly how him and his cronies operate and it’s not pleasant.

Just had a look at the Francis Diet page and it is shocking, He seems to have created a huge amount of inverted eating disorders where his clients go from overweight to skeletal. The food looks tit and processed, the sort of tit that was ok 10 years ago and it is full of toxic positivity bullshit that is just bullying and shaming disguised as “motivation”

Please do not give your money to this awful man.

He doesn’t look in great shape himself he never posts his own meals or work outs just the hardcore ambassadors who make him look good then he sets them on people. I think Jess should tell people what goes on behinds the scenes so more people don’t get scammed waste a lot of money to starve themselves just to be thin who sign up thinking they’re gonna like like all these ambassadors when not everyone will get those results. Also be interesting to see in 5 years time who still on his plans working for him

she said she receipts to out him, and if she does then she should share because he’s literally robbing people and she could ultimately put a stop to it.

He gets all his cult to do his work because his reading and writing skills are similar to that of a 8 year old- that’s why his highest level of education is Btec.

The fella has unapologetically lied his was up the chain and it’s archived online for everyone to see.
 
He definitely give off cult vibes. How is losing 2 stone in such a short period of time sustainable? The calories must be so low it’s ridiculous. There women are blinded by him, think he’s gods gift, that is they can’t do it without him (which in my opinion is BS) I feel sorry for them to an extent - how long do they keep going until there’s literally nothing left to lose weight wise? Will he then say, oh yeah you are still too fat because you haven’t stuck to plan and had no life. He’s manipulative, a womaniser and I really hope Jess outs him and the ambassadors it has to stop.

Notice Jess’s husband has unfollowed him also, as he was on plan with him no doubt after Jess was singing his praises - glad they have both seen the light now. They can no doubt do better on their own, I hope they do create a fitness brand they are real people and want to help people not scam them.

2st in 8 weeks is a daily deficit of 1,750 calories...

Now I'm losing weight and started at 23st 1 and my calories were 2600 a day and I have lost weight, over two stone. That woman is much smaller than I am I dread to think hoe low her calories are and I know exercise will burn calories but you can't burn that many, they don't say you can't outrun a bad diet for a reason...

Still waiting for the tea from Jess. Don't tease us girl. Ruin him.

We can all see he is toxic as duck but his cult members need to see that as well.
 
I never post here but had to come over after seeing Jess stories. I almost joined his plan a couple of months ago but thankfully seen the red flags! Followed nadine for a while who personally i don't think he would be where he is now without her.
One major thing that put me off was seeing her put a post up not so long ago about hating her body and i realised this bloke is clueless and promoting EDs. There are some fantastic coaches out there who really work on the psyche around eating as it’s almost always mental.
Having a quick nosey i think shes talking about one of his ambassadors “lovely laura” so glad she is speaking up about this hes an absolute crook!
 
I really feel for Nadine, you can tell she has a poor relationship with her body by some of the things she posts on her stories. Reading between the lines he now has her on a bulk to build and she put something about “not looking forward to this phase”.
I’ve noticed he’s being overly nice on his Q&As and responded to someone saying he is too honest…nah mate your just plain rude! I absolutely agree with his stance on taking accountability as it’s the truth but his way of delivering this message to his paying/potential clients is abysmal.
An amazing coach who actually wants to help and puts a lot of content out for free (I’ve inboxed her a lot and she’s sent me stuff without paying) is esg fitness (Emma Gordon). She absolutely knows her tit and is a true lifestyle coach not a one style fits all body builder coach.

That’s what I don’t get the ones who have been with him 3/2 years surely by then you know what to do and go on it on your own I reckon Nadine definitely could do it on her own she knows what she’s doing in gym surly must know what to eat without him?

100% - she said herself she basically eats the same thing day in day out and doesn’t care about food, it’s just fuel. So just keep eating what she is and save yourself a fortune
