Well that depends... Splenda is like a fake sugar, it tastes like sugar but it is not. Real sugar gets used as a carbohydrate, whereas Splenda does not get used for anything. When have Splenda, your tongue sends a message to your brain telling it that you need insulin to take care of the sugar(your tongue thinks that Splenda is sugar). The insulin that your brain told your pancreas to make attaches itself with the sugar that was all ready in your blood, giving you a low blood sugar(your brain thought that the sugar should be coming into your blood right now... it must be delayed). Your brain sees that you has a low blood sugar, and the sugar that you had isn't coming in. You need more sugar. Your brain makes you feels hungry. So Splenda does nothing, but make you hungry.
