When you drink or eat something that is very sweet, but has no actual sugar in it, your taste buds still warn the digestive system "watch out, sugar coming". Your pancreas will secrete Insulin in anticipation, but no actual sugar is coming, thus your blood sugar drops and you become *extremely* hungry.
Many a diet has failed that way ;)

It's funny, you know, I lost about 80 pounds over the course of five months by doing a low carb diet, and the only thing that kept me glued to the diet was the insane amount of diet coke I used to drank. It was my guilty pleasure and the only way I could control my hunger during the day.
