I personally think that diet sodas don't do any good for weight loss. They also have a bitter after-taste no matter what the manufacturers say.

water and fruits did the trick for me
Sometimes its more of what you take and how you take it. i think i lost over 10lbs with what i ate but most of the time it requires a weight management and setting goals to it. http://bit.ly/1k1HyTR
I dunno. I went from 210 to 193 in less than a year while drinking no more than one Diet Coke per week, coupled with a boatload of cardio & some very recent strength training.
(Not sure what the science is there, just an account.)
