Clearly some of the correlation is that people who need to lose weight tend to favor diet soda but I do think there is some amount in the other direction. I have been on a low carb diet and also cut out diet soda for the most part. The one week I brought diet soda back I gained weight while drinking it while otherwise being faithful to my regime. I stopped the soda and the weight loss started again.
