Anecdotal, but I haven't known a single person that reversed their journey to obesity by replacing their sugar with artificial sweeteners. At the very least, it was encouraging them to continue (or increase) overeating because this stuff was supposedly not as bad.
But it looks like research is starting to indicate that it's the same end result, just maybe involving some different biochemical pathways to get there.
