Which is the best way to get a ripped body in say, 6 months

I am looking to get very fit in about 6-8 months? I am aiming for something along the lines of a brad pitt physique. Any ideas which would be the best approach first? I have the diet thing down. Thanks.

You can't spot reduce; you need to reduce your overall body fat.

There is no magic weight-loss pill, supplement, fad diet, or juice. The ONLY way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you burn. Brad Pitt didn鈥檛 get cut for Fight Club by drinking green tea, and you won鈥檛 either.

Walk for 30 minutes every day including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week. You don鈥檛 need additional equipment鈥攊nfomercial products like the Ab Lounger, Sauna Belt, etc. are all worthless so don鈥檛 waste your money.

Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Your primary source of sustenance should be grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts and canned tuna (in water, not oil). No dairy (except low fat cottage cheese occasionally); no processed meats; no heavy sauces; no chips, cookies, sodas, breads, etc.

Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don鈥檛 starve yourself during the day, but if you don't wake up famished, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.

Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off the TV and the computer. Sleep is vitally important.

Don't consume alcohol鈥攁lcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation鈥擨鈥檓 not debating that鈥攂ut we鈥檙e talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the fat.

Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn鈥檛 almost clear, you need to drink more water.

Good luck.
