Yes, I get that. I think my main issue is that, for various reasons, I can't chew anything hard so apples etc are out of the question for me altogether. Therefore I only eat soft fruits and don't chew them at all, so the "you get more satisfaction from chewing it" argument doesn't apply for me (although I'm betting you don't chew your breakfast raspberries either, even before they go mushy!). I do however make sure I always have the fruit pulp and not just the juice, to boost the satiety factor.
What it comes down to for me is that, for example, I have swapped my normal breakfast of a thick white bread toastie dripping with butter and oozing with cheese for a bowl of porridge and fruit (or a mushroom omelette or whatever). I've swapped my Magnum habit for a Yonanas habit, and so on - and no, I won't ever syn my fruit. I'm afraid that will just have to be good enough, for now at least. If/when I stop losing I will maybe have to have a rethink - perhaps just by eating less fruit, cooked, frozen or otherwise! Everything's relative after all...
