Shocking Day-By-Day Weight Loss Transformation Captured on Film

Chicago, IL -- December 05, 2006 -- Ray Bartley’s shocking day-by-day weight loss of 55 pounds in 54 days is captured on film in the new DVD, 55 Pounds in 54 Seconds. The documentary title comes from a special feature where the 54 days it took Ray to go from 275 to 220 pounds is accelerated to take place in 54 seconds.

Convinced his obesity would lead to an early death, Ray resolved to try a weight loss technique widely used in Europe, but little known in the United States: juice fasting. Juice fasting consists of drinking vegetable and fruit juices freshly made from an inexpensive kitchen appliance called a juicer. Drink all the juice you want, but eat nothing else. During a juice fast, toxins from the body are eliminated, the skin regains its natural elasticity, and the body begins burning fat at an incredible rate (for more information on juice fasting, go to www.55in54.com.)

However after falling off the fast five different times, Ray decided to take drastic action. He would videotape himself daily and hope any new failures would be so painful to watch they would shame him into continuing his fast. It took only one more failure (also shown on the DVD), for Ray to find the strength to start and finish his 54-day juice fasting adventure.

“The biggest misconceptions people have about juice fasting,” said Ray Bartley, “is they’ll be weak, tired, and worst of all: hungry. However, your body quickly adapts to the fast and you completely lose your sense of hunger. And instead of weak or tired, each day I felt stronger and more alive with energy. Don’t believe me though – watch the DVD and see for yourself.”



55 Pounds in 54 Seconds includes the Documentary, the Day-By-Day Video Diary of the Entire Juice Fast, Additional Video Diary Audio Commentary, After-Fast Strategies On Staying Slim the Rest of your Life, Interview with a Registered Dietitian, DVD Trailer, Morphing Sequences, Bloopers, and Video of Ray’s First Meal. Excerpts can be seen at www.55in54.com .

55 pounds in 54 seconds is an instruction manual, a reference guide and a motivational tool. Most importantly, it is a documentary of one man on an incredible 54-day quest to change his life forever.
