Yes, but feeling hungry doesn't cause weight gain. Acting on it excessively does.
It would be odd to say that "preparing gym bag the night before" leads to muscle growth. It's correlated sure, it's a good willpower/discipline hack, but the actual thing that caused the muscle growth was the workout (and rest and diet etc.)
edit: ah I see now. Yes, I agree that zero calorie food is probably bad news. I was thinking more along the lines of e.g. protein shakes with sweeteners, cake with a bit less sugar in it etc.
Soda is obviously bad IMO.
- klyrs 3y ago> Yes, but feeling hungry doesn't cause weight gain. Acting on it excessively does. Tobacco doesn't cause lung cancer; smoking it does. Last century, we had to crack down on tobacco companies selling cigarettes as a healthy choice. It has become clear that artificial sweeteners do not live up to the medical claims that they have been sold under; they're possibly a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. Your "personal responsibility" schtick sounds great in a vacuum, but people are susceptible to marketing campaigns bombarding them with a counter-message: you don't need self control, just eat our magical non-fattening food!
