When you eat a meal and it has been metabolized and you have used all of the "fuel" that you are able to get from it, you have a "real" hunger.

When you take in a substance like an artificial sweetener and you get a rush of insulin that depletes your bloodsteam of sugar, you become hungry because your body has been put in to a low blood sugar situation. If you had not had the artificial sweetener, you may have been able to go for 4 or 5 hours without becoming hungry, but since you had the artificial, you are hungry much more quickly.

How quickly you get hungry depends on how much of the artificial sweetener you ingest. Studies have been done that indicate that people who drink diet sodas gain an average of 4 pounds more each year than those who drink regular sodas.

Splenda does not seem to have the same insulin reaction that you would find with saccharin/Sweet-n-Low or aspertame/Nutrasweet.
