Researchers: Artificial Sweeteners Prevent Weight Loss

But what you're saying sounds to me very different from what most people in this thread are saying. You're saying, if I understand correctly, that eating stuff with aspartame will make you eat more (what happens if you have the self control to either not do that, or eat something like a carrot that has very little calories ?).

Most people in the thread here seem to be saying your body will find a way to use the same amount of energy, and store the same amount of energy, despite the energy intake being different.

Anecdotally, I've lost over 10 kg while not caring about aspartame intake (in fact I think it probably went up).

More that aspartame fooled no GI ever into thinking its job was done than that it makes you hungrier. The alkaline phosphatase blocking from it is also hampering phosphate metabolism you might've been using to switch gears, including regulating pH and coexistence with gut flora (detoxifying oligosaccharides etc.) Nice anecdotal going (if it was low density tissue; I should joke 'you uploaded your brain, what did you expect.')
