Do calorie free sweeteners interfere with weight loss? She started losing weight when she stopped taking sweeteners with powder milk tea she started losing weight, and when she took sweeteners she wasn't losing weight. She visited a dietitian (Dr.Poon Toronto,ON) he said it's ok to have sweeteners??

So it's about my aunt who always had a fit body from childhood until she started to gain weight when she was 28 years old back in 1999. She had some thyroid and PCOS hormonal problems and she also had depression, anxiety, and stress which also made her eat more food. She used to weigh 135lbs according to her height 5'3. She's now 48 and at the beginning of her weightloss journey she weighed 243lbs after 10weeks of 16:8 intermittent fasting (without any exercise) she now weighs 228lbs (she lost 15lbs).

She drinks tea with powder milk but without any sweeteners. But she really misses the sweeteners since the taste of powder milk and tea is not pleasant because of the bitterness. She also has an addiction to tea.

Recently she visited a local dietitian who is known as Dr.Poon in Toronto, ON. In his diet chart it is mentioned she can take sweeteners that are FDA approved.

In the past she tried losing weight by IF but that time she didn't lose a single lbs since she used to take sweeteners with her tea. But are sweeteners really the cause of not helping her lose weight?

Should she take sweeteners with her tea or not?
