Lately the artificial sweetener leading to weight gain issue has been bandied back and forth quite a bit. Researchers suggest that these sweeteners may work counterintuitively by giving your body the go ahead to eat more food rather than less.
The studies are not conclusive and more research is needed, but the premise is that the sweet taste sends your body a message that you're taking in a lot of calories. But when your ingestive and digestive reflexes gear up for the high-caloric intake - they are met with the no cal or low cal sweetener and the body then gets the metabolic go ahead to eat more and consequently burn less.
Just to be safe, stay clear of of artificial sweetened foods as much as possible. Natural alternatives won't cause an insulin spike or confuse your system and lead to possible weight gain.
