> I love how smooth Diet Dr Pepper is but if I drink one - I won't lose any weight that day and will probably actually gain weight.

Because... it makes you hungry and so you eat more calories from other sources? When I'm cutting, diet soda is a godsend. The carbonation acts like a pseudo fiber and keeps me full.

I can't explain it - I would be at a less loss for calories for the day yet not lose weight. Aspartame may interfere in some way with CO2 production? Dunno.
