Just in case anyone is interested, the Sainsbury's own brand of diet fizzy drinks use sucralose instead of aspartame as a sweetener and they are pretty nice too.
Aparently Aspartame can slow or stall weight loss for certain people on the Atkins diet, I'm not sure if it had any negative effect on me when I used it, but I personally much prefer splenda (sucralose) as it doesn't seem to have the nasty after taste that I get from Aspartame.

Cheers for that, Hellraiser. I'm not a big fan of the aspartame aftertaste either, although I find adding a liberal slosh of vodka takes care of it! But will keep an eye out for the sucralose alternatives...
i havent had vodka for YEARS! Id only need a drop and Id be pasted.
Thanks hellraiser, sainsburys is my choice if supermarket so ill look out for that.
aspartame has some pretty nasty write ups, try googling it.
