There's not possible way to avoid everything that you should avoid. I say, if you want a soda, this sounds like as good as any. I think you can enjoy yourself, eat the foods you like, and still lose weight.

Why exactly is Aspartame something you want to avoid? I would advise people to do some real research into the studies done on Aspartame. It is not bad for you, that is merely a myth perpetuated by people who have a strong hatred for any synthetic foods. The common lie people spread is that it causes a massive spike in insulin levels. This is untrue and has been verified time and time again in controlled lab tests. And also Insulin levels increased from the sweet taste of something is incredibly minimal. Nowhere near the scale of actually eating sugar.
(I know this is a fairly old topic, but it had some information I felt needed correcting.)

The problem with non-nutritive sweeteners in general is that they perpetuate carb cravings and over eating. There is also evidence that due to the cephalic response, you do release insulin in response to them. I've seen studies that show those drinking diet products actually gain more weight compared to those drinking the regular sugar laden variety. I don't think you need to totally eliminate non-nutritive sweeteners but they should be an occasional treat, not an every day thing.
Here is a great article on them:

Your blog does not constitute any real proof. You're merely a doctor who shares the same misconception so many people have. He hasn't done any real tests to back up his claim.
The cephalic response will only release a minute amount of insulin, and only really if you're hungry. If you don't ingest any glucose, the body isn't going to produce any extra insulin. Significant insulin secretion comes from actually digesting food, having the secretion last for a very long time and having a few phases.
Please, let go of the beliefs you've developed and go do some actual research about how and when the human body releases insulin.

Aspartame is one of the most studied substances in the world, as with most of the other artificial sweeteners used. It has been proven time and time again not to increase insulin levels and to be quite safe.
