If your goal is to reduce sugar they’re not.

Thermodynamics. End of story. You won’t gain weight drinking diet drinks.

You did the math I guess. I was only drinking ~20-32oz a day. Still lost 20lbs

I'm not an expert, but I believe they worsen insulin sensitivity.

Depends on the sugar substitute… most all of them cause issues… what I believe
