Umm, I’m pretty sure that’s not how our bodies work.

The fat we eat in foods doesn’t go directly into the fat we have on our bodies.

Many healthy diets are high in good fats and the people who eat those diets have healthy body weights.

On the other side of the coin, you can eat a low-fat diet and still be a fatass.

The amount of fat we have on our bodies isn’t dependent o the amount of fat we eat.

A similar drug already exists- Orlistat (see Alli). 
And, yes, it can cause bloating, gas, cramping, and anal seepage.

I always laughed when the commercial for Alli came out and mentioned that as a side effect.

Orlistat (also known by trade names Xenical and Alli) is a diet pill that works by blocking the enzymes that digest fat. As a result, some fat cannot be absorbed from the gut and is excreted in the feces instead of being metabolically digested, sometimes causing oily anal leakage.
