Can diet soda make you gain weight? what are the cons

Yes: The artificial sweeteners increase your appetite and you crave more foods. Also, they may have other potential side effects with prolonged use.

Diet soda: There are no calories in diet sodas and thus they don't contribute to weight gain except if they cause fluid retention in certain people. Too much artificial sweeteners and caffeine(unless they are caffeine free) are also unhealthy effects of too much diet sodas.
