Will drinks with low and no sweeteners, such as Diet Coke, make me gain weight?
Drinks sweetened with low and no calorie sweeteners, such as Diet Coke, will not stimulate your appetite or make you gain weight. In fact, studies show that after drinking beverages sweetened with low and no calorie sweeteners, we have the same hunger reaction as we do after drinking water.
Research has also shown that food and drinks containing low and no calorie sweeteners can help us manage our energy (calorie) intake and, if used regularly to reduce calories, can help us manage our body weight. Research has also shown that those of us who use low calorie products tend to have high quality diets.
