DIET COKE = HUNGER?

Breia read an article linking Diet Coke with Hunger. Something about Aspertame and increased hunger thus resulting in Diet Coke leading to Weight Gain.

I don't know if this is true but I have been cutting down on Diet Coke lately in favor of Water as I wanted to drink less caffine so I could sleep more.

The other day I drank a few Diet Cokes. I noticed I was extremely hungry and I had eaten alot that day. I also did not go to the gym that day so if that was a factor also I am not sure.

I drank a Diet Pepsi and an RC cola another day and was not hungry at all. BUT, Diet Pepsi and RC do not have Aspertame in them either as far as I know.

IS it the Aspertame or is it something else? The fact of the matter is I like Diet Coke more than Pepsi and RC but is that because it is more bubbly or the addictive tendencies of Aspertame itself?

No idea... Something to ponder...
