I have two sons (ages 6 and 10) whose diets sorely lack in fruits and vegetables. I try to show a good example by eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, but the best results from my boys are a rarely eaten apple or nibbling at mashed potatoes or a few ears of corn. What can I do?

I have been trying different diets (low-carb, high-protein, high-fiber, etc.), but nothing works for me! Currently, I'm walking and jogging on a treadmill five days a week and eat moderately (about 1,300 to 1,400 calories daily), but I still can't lose weight! Why is this happening, and what can I do?
