Numerous scientific studies suggest that artificial sweeteners have no effect on weight loss, that you'd be no worse off drinking sugar Coke over diet Coke.
Body Not Fooled by Artificial Sweeteners, Study Shows | The Oz Blog

Over the last few years, many health professionals are discovering that the negative effects of artificial sweeteners are greater than had been previously thought. Artificial sweeteners reduce the body?s ability to regulate calorie intake, and in one study actually caused some human subjects to gain weight.
It seemed impossible. No one understood why a no-calorie sugar substitute could actually cause an increase in weight. A new study shows why this happens.
Neuroscientists at Yale's School of Medicine found that artificial sweeteners do not ?fool? the brain into thinking its sugar. Instead, they leave the brain craving high-calorie foods even more.
