Hi there Shay,
I don't believe that having too few carbs will cause any problems. However, you don't gain any advantage by dropping them below 20. In fact the original Atkins plan only had about 5 carbs, but Dr A found over the years that people lost just as much with 20 carbs, therefore he increased the Induction level. So please, eat up those healthy vegies.
As for your lack of weight loss, I think it's simply because your body is a little smarter than you are. At 5'5 and 132 pounds, you are smack in the middle of the healthy weight range. 110 will actually leave you a little underweight.
I'm sure you will be able to lose a few pounds and remain healthy, but it will be slow. Remember that eating low carb is about more than weight loss - it is also about improving your health.
All the best!
