Nicotine causes Glucose spike, inhibits the insulin... Therefore smokers are in a state of insulin resistance with the first Puff... I know, this is difficult to understand.. I mean a 15 year old figured this one out.. But the doctors would have you believe something far different...
That's exactly what I said about the problem with the receptors, but again when you read you see only what you want and then split it into almost truth. Insulin resistance in and of itself is not a problem. It causes an increase in blood sugar due to a lack of ability for insulin to do its job. If free floating blood sugar is already greater than 120 to 150 mg/dL then symptoms may set in and it can even go as high as 200 mg/dL in some. As well the half life at the nicotinic neuroreceptor binding site isn't long enough to cause an overall long term change in blood sugar, which would result in something like DKA or diabetic coma or shock.
Smoking is bad for a LOT of reasons but the specific one you're talking about isn't one of them. Your body spends it's days in sugar waves. Anyone who isn't diabetic, and eats a piece of cake, will see a resulting blood sugar spike as well as a corresponding insulin spike to balance it among other processes. If you don't eat for 24 hours you'll also see a drop in blood sugar with the result then being a release of glucacon as well as insulin.
As well your pics say what? Excess glucose right, which I've already addressed. What creates glucose? Literally anything you eat. If you eat too much, you gain weight, if you eat less, you lose weight. Carbohydrates are only one part of the triangle and not the cause of you being fat.
Half information and a gross oversimplification yet again.

This is the process by which fats, proteins and in certain cases alcohol is converted into glucose. Since you won't read it, because you didn't read it the first time I'll tell you again that even if you eat zero, none, never any, carbohydrates you'll still create glucose by that process.
If you eat an excess food energy be it in the form of alcohol, carbohydrates, fats or proteins you'll will gain weight. If your body burns 2500 kCal in a day, and you eat 3500 kCal of protein in a day you will store the excess energy that was not used for the Kreb's Cycle in the form of glucose, as adipose tissue.
And again insulin is required to move that energy into the cells. If you're tolerant to insulin you will not uptake into the cell, to be converted during the CAC to ATP and your body will starve. Your muscle cells and others will whither and die. Type 1 diabetics tend to be very skinny if they do not take care of themselves as they do not uptake the glucose they need.
Insulin does not shove anything into a fat cell that does not belong there. If you have less energy in your body you will store less fat or pull from fat for energy. You don't have to eat less carbs specifically, just eat less of everything. You can eat roll, drink beer, eat a steak and still lose weight so long as the overall kCal at the end of the day is less than the overall kCal that is required by your TDEE.
