That side effect was well known when olestra hit the market. Alli sounds like something that if you dedicated enough to follow their guidelines you won't really need the pills.

I do like however that in the commercial they use legitimately larger women. I can't stand when they use a size 6 actress and claim she needs to drop weight!

Like that darn Special K commercial I see every morning. It's got an emaciated woman in a red top and jeans and her stomach growls as the voice over talks about how eating breakfast is the key to losing weight. Then her roommate heads for the door and she's almost as skinny. Seriously, if you are going to market to people trying to loose some weight, could you at least put someone on the screen whose wieght is in triple digits?!?!? The commercial doesn't make me want to buy their prodcut - it pisses me off that they think people should look that skinny. It makes me NOT want to buy their product...
