does diet soda make you hungrier?

I had diet coke over the weekend, one 10 oz glass on Sat and Sun each, and I was absolutely starving all day long each day. Today I'm back on water only and not feeling nearly as hungry. Has anybody else noticed this?

I have noticed this too. It makes me crave sugar! Or bad carby foods!

I have read alot of nutrition books and yes it actually does. South Beach Diet also suggests no caffiene for first two weeks because it makes you crave carbs and they do not want you eating that.

Think about it Pretzels sound great with diet pop right?!:happy: I do crave carbs when I drink diet pop but I still have to have my one diet pop a day...LOL:laugh:

Not me. Doesnt make any difference. But whether I drink it or not, I still drink the same amount of water.

It is the artificial sweetner that makes you feel hungry.
