One would think so- after all, if you do everything else the same, you'd imagine that you'd be consuming a couple hundred calories a day fewer, which should lead to weight loss. Unfortunately, studies in which regular-soda drinkers were randomly switched to diet showed no difference in weight loss. It appears that the Diet Soda drinkers compensated for the lack of calories by consuming more of other foods. Some researchers speculate that the sweetness of the soda might encourage people to consume more. So if all other things are held equal, switching to diet should help a person lose weight. But in the real world, you don't hold everything else constant, and switching to diet doesn't seem to encourage weight loss. Probably a better choice altogether is to simply give up soda and instead drink water or unsugared tea.
