I can appreciate the thought process that diet soda makes people fat. But that is counter intuitive. While the craving for high carbohydrate foods is compelling the challenge is with calorie intake.
For example if your daily burn rate of calories was 2000. And your intake was 2300 then your body will convert the extra calories as fat. Conversely if your intake was 1800 then you have a deficit of 200 calories that the body will burn from fat.
It would seem reasonable to me as a choice for a diet to substitute this type of option in moderation. For example you could have a sandwich for lunch, with a diet soda compared to a regular soda removing 38+ grams of sugar from your meal.
The real challenge is with portions, calorie intake, and taking everything in moderation. It is easy to associate blame with the diet soda but that most likely is not the root cause of the issue.
As an example a lack of sleep can cause the same process to occur.
