Can pepsi max make you gain weight

So Pepsi max is 1 cal and 0g of fat . But can it make me put on weight? I drink way to much of it. I have completely stopped drinking it for the past 3 days because I need to loose weight. I was told although it's low calorie and fat free it can still make you gain weight is this true?

If the soda water you drink is sweetened with a zero calorie artificial sweetener it will not, by itself, add any fat to your body, but it can have the effect of continuing your cravings for sweet things and that can lead you into eating too much food, thereby making you gain fat.

I thought similar to ErinAoife, the artificial sweetner makes your body expect sugar so when that doesn’t materialise, it makes your body hungrier/crave more sugar.

@ErinAoife @TheGriffle Thank you this must have been what I had heard i think it was from my DS . So basically I drink Pepsi max my body thinks it's going to get the sugar but doesn't so then I end up eating a cake or something because I'm still chasing the sugar.
