You would think artificial sweeteners would work every time. Simply replace normal pop with artificial sweet pop. Then eat your normal diet. You could use artificial sweeteners to replace any of the sugar in your diet. According to the laws of thermodynamics, you must lose weight. Yet many studies have shown the just don't seem to work.
I will go into detail using a research paper that mainly used mice. After listening to this, you will have a much better understand why they don't work. If you are like me, you will stop using artificial sweeteners. It's hard to believe, but sucrose sweetened pop my end up being better for you.
That's not to say you should drink it.
