Skinny hypothyroid people (I was in that category years ago) often compensate with high adrenaline which ramps lipolysis up.
This compensation keeps the metabolic rate up and you are able to perform pretty good for a given time.
But all the ingested PUFA gets metabolized.
What's worse than PUFA in your fat tissues?
Chronic high PUFA concentrations in your bloodstream and active cells.
Getting fat and burning the trash with adrenaline are 2 different adaptive responses to the same kind of problems and they yield different results/side effects.
I can't see a paradox here.
However I often think about the different advantages and disadventages of both adaptive routes.
I find this topic extremely interesting.
My guess is that the really skinny hypothyroid people probably won't get as old as the ones who get fat.
But time will tell.
Another thing that I observed from my personal surroundings is that the skinny type tends to have sleep problems/light sleep whereas the fat type tends to sleep like a rock.
