Actually, I believe it's the metabolic cascade. When something sweet touches your tongue, your body gears up for 'something sweet' to come down the pipes. Therefore all of the organs of digestion, including your pancreas are enlisted to deal with the incoming sugar. When you drink a diet drink, insulin is released yet no glucose(sugar) is there and you are left with elevated insulin levels. This leads to metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and abdominal weight gain (including more fat around the organs).
