    No. Learn to critically investigate claims.

    Did you have a mean weigh scale this week? Was it plus or minus five pounds? That could be anything.

    My weight hasn't moved all month and now I'm gaining weight and I was wondering if it was the diet soda

    No, I don't think so. It's all about the calorie intake.

    No, you're eating too many calories, or retaining water

    I've had extended periods 3-4 weeks long where my weight hovers a pound or two. Then all of a sudden, I lose 3-4 pounds. I haven't tracked the cause. It could be bloating water weight (eating salty foods, time of the month).

    If you have been doing everything about the same this past month, try making one small change to see if it makes a difference.

    Diet soda has no calories.

    You are eating to much.

    Do you weigh all solid foods??....measure liquids?? If not that is your problem. Get a digital food scale weigh ALL solid foods and drink plenty of water.

    ETA: I drink diet soda every day, several times a day, I also drink plenty of water and lost 121 pounds.
