You might have read this study .

New analysis suggests "diet soda paradox" - less sugar, more weight.

There is a view that foods/drinks with artificial sweeteners maintain the brain's need for sweet products so you may end up still having sugary foods. My understanding is that the diet drinks are zero calorie and don't in themselves contribute to weight gain
