Has anyone found they still lose weight while having artificial sweetener in their drinks?

    I use Splenda in my coffee every day. I tried using Stevia thinking it was more "natural" but my tastebuds like Splenda better. I am still losing too. I have friends who cannot use artificial sweetners for various reasons, one of them being no weight loss but I am fortunate that I can still enjoy my coffee and lose weight.

    Yes, because they are slowly dying inside from the poison

    Yes, but I'm sure you will find many who claim that it cannot be done. I drink diet soda every day.

    if with artificial sweetners or diet sodas etc you're still under a calorie deficit, you can lose weight :)

    Cheers, I am drinking a sugar free 7 up and had strawberry ice cream with real sugar!

    Yes, if the artificial sweetener is helping you create calorie deficit.

    However, if you use pure sugar and are at a calorie deficit you will probably lose weight, too.

    Yep. Every day.

    There's another thread going right now that says they'll kill you. Literally. And give you MS and cancer and a host of other diseases. They have no facts or evidence to back up that claim. But that's how they "feel". So it's "true for them."

    Please don't fall for such nonsense.

    Yep ... my love of coffee and making my own flavored yogurt with non-fat plain greek yogurt, fresh berries and Splenda are apparently causing me to die a very slow Splenda death (:huh: :noway: ) ... but my love of Splenda didn't hinder my weightloss a single bit! :drinker:

    I use it from time to time. It is healthier to avoid it... because of health, not necessarily because of weight loss. I've heard a lot of people say you can't lose weight with artificial sweetners or diet soda... my mother lost 140 pounds drinking diet soda the entire time.
