As I understand it, artificial sweeteners change our small colons so that they become much more efficient in absorbing calories. Here you're cutting down on calories only to be gaining weight because of the change in the small intestine. Doesn't make sense!

@certifiedangus where did you read that research? I work in a clinical setting and I would be interested in finding out more - never heard of that.
Artificial sweeteners are a good crutch @KFRAIRE2 hang in there.
Try switching to water with a slice of lemon or lime. That will add a little flavor but no calories or artificial sweeteners.

Switch to water, I drink water all day long, lots of it. You will probably get headaches the first week you switch, but after that you should be fine and your body will love you for it.
