That literally tells me nothing at all. Are you claiming that anything drunk to the same degree that diet soda is would increase their fat? Or that merely because it's a "soda" it necessarily has to make someone fatter? If so, how does it make them fatter? Insulin response? Changing the person's setpoint? Increased caloric uptake because of depleted willpower?
...You're making what he said way more complicated than it needs to be.
He's saying that somebody that may drink one can of regular soda a day may drink 5-6 cans of diet again because "It's diet and it's healthy for me." Obviously drinking anything of the such in excess is going to make you gain more weight than if you didn't. Thus, they're kinda defeating the purpose of diet soda by drinking more of it and canceling out the difference.
