Sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato. It's all about the sweet potato. It's better than a potato for flavour and it generally cooks the same.
Just put into a seach engine sweet potato recipes, and look for ones that have low or no sugar. Last night I made one that was sweet potato with squash and onions and cheese and some spices and it was tasty. You just cube everything, grate the cheese and cream(I used milk because I had no cream and dislike cream). Then I think it also used a couple teaspoons of brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and something else, I'll try to find the recipe to put below.
You can bake sweet potatoes and they come out like a baked potato and you can use sour cream on them and margarine and they are delicious.
They're low carb yet high in vitamins and super good for you.
The other good foods that you can change in your regular recipes is whole wheat foods instead of white foods. It slows digestion in a way. You can just replace whole wheat pasta for regular pasta and whole wheat bread for white bread. Same great taste, higher fiber and way better for you.
So my solution is just to substitute unhealthy ingredients for healthy ones, you can also cut the sugar amount in cakes by a bit and they still come out delicious. And you can even add in some whole wheat into cakes.
Changing your eating habits doesn't mean going light on taste!
