Plus it does cause cravings for some people. Junk food and soda are, in my opinion, first things to ditch if you are truly commited to a change.
Sorry, but you have been misinformed.5 -
I prefer not to have coke or Pepsi due to the caffeine and pains after tho they do make sugar free drinks including cordial and the kirks have a few ☺0

Google "artificial sweeteners and obesity." You will find all sorts of well-conducted and documented studies tying AS to obesity and diabetes. Not exactly the outcome you are after.
Except I normalized my high glucose numbers and lost 50lbs while using artificial sweeteners (didn't start using them until I started my weight loss phase). Now I'm a several years into maintenance and continue to have great blood work panels and a bmi hovering around 20, while still using artificial sweeteners every day.

I'm in maintenance and have consistent, excellent blood work panels (I get them done twice a year), and I drink diet soda every day/use artificial sweetener. I'm at the best health I've ever been, and my doctor is very pleased with all my health markers.
And no, diet soda doesn't cause cravings for me, and in fact it helps curb them.4 -

If anyone wants a source, Google is your friend. I care enough to add my 2 cents to this conversation but rarely do I care enough about a discussion on the internet to put in actual work.
Tell that to the diabetics that get to use it because it's 0 on the glycemic index. They would probably die or something crazy would happen to them if this were true.

I drink Coke Zero, so sure, why not?0

LOL. Just LOL.
I'm in the sweetener camp. Diet drinks all the way. Prefer Pepsi Max to Coke Zero, though. Mind you that new formula taste is a good improvement with the zero.1 -
I wonder how sweetener would raise your blood glucose. Where would that glucose come from even?4

Any soda is bad. The chemicals they put in to make it zero calorie is just as dangerous as drinking a regular soda.1 -

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24862170The two treatments were not equivalent with the NNS beverage treatment group losing significantly more weight compared to the water group (5.95 kg versus 4.09 kg; P < 0.0001) after 12 weeks. Participants in the NNS beverage group reported significantly greater reductions in subjective feelings of hunger than those in the water group during 12 weeks.
TL;DR: People on diet drinks lost weight better than people on plain water. People on diet drinks had less hunger.

Btw your profile picture is a model that I would always see in promotions for Chinese mechandise right now the product being modeled is the necklace.
I bought items from the merchant before, so I've seen that picture all over the site. Not sure if you know it's a copyrighted image... unless you're claiming to be the model in question... just a little FYI.
LOL don't kill me this girl thinks I'm using a fake picture???? Come send me the site my girl, I would love to see it

If you Google you will find many studies regarding artificial sweeteners and obesity. When you read the actual studies, you will not that not one of them actually finds a definitive link.
If you Google, you'll come up with links to Authority Nutrition (junk science site), Mercola (crackpot pseudoscientist), Dr. Axe (another tinfoil hat hack), etc. - all of which will give you a headache from rolling your eyes so much, but none of which have anything to do with the actual science regarding artificial sweeteners.
Examine.com, which is an unbiased, evidence-based site, does a good job of laying out the science here and also explaining correlation vs. causation. They also link to relevant studies (as they always do): https://examine.com/nutrition/is-diet-soda-bad-for-you/
