Maybe a big piece is just substitution.
I feel like being able to teach them to enjoy whole grains instead of complex carbs (e.g. whole grain Cheerios instead of regular. I bought these Kashii whole grain honey puffs and they were just as good as "Smacks". Whole wheat bagels or bread) Replacing a lot of the fatty meats with turkey--in certain cases, it tastes almost as good as beef or pork or ham. It might up your grocery bill just slightly, but it helps you to cook a lot of the same things they enjoyed, have it taste fairly close to the real thing, but at a much better health value.
