This market is bounty-tiered (PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT UNDER YOUR ANSWER SO I CAN TIP IT):

I am more likely to test things that are expected to work : Testing is costly and stopping the potatoes mean I am way less efficient. So I would much rather do a positive test "will X also induce productivity/hypomania" than negative one "let's try to remove X and see if it still works". However, I will try to ensure that answers I choose are correct to the best of my abilities, so if it really worked so far, I will do some negative testing around it.

This market resolves to the credence I have of each explanations, weighted by points. Note that my question is along the line of "how can I reproduce this", so feel free to answer that instead (ie. I don't need to know 

 it works exactly, I just want to know what an optimized solution looks like. Might change the title to reflect this better)

This market is intended to be primarilly incentivized through its bounties. I will be completely transparent about the points I intend to give to each options at any given time.

Reviewing the data of the past two/three months, it seems clear to me that the potato diet has had a drastic impact on me: On it, I was working daily without any problems, focusing seemed fun, and I was making progress drastically. Three weeks after the diet, this gradually fell down until I was back to the baseline before it.

I've been experimenting with taking potatoes again on and off since and the effect seems very clear: Whenever I eat only potatoes, five days later the stream of energy is fully on and I can work without any interruptions.

I would like to understand what is going on, and more importantly: How to optimize this. 

You can find my original potato diet data here:

I will update my state and findings in the following document:

I've compiled all sources I've found here: 

For now, it contains all sources mentionned by 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5266211/pdf/pone.0169277.pdf

 which argues that Few Foods Diet has a high impact on ADHD symptoms (More on that in hypothesis), as well as all SMTM reports.

I will update it as I find more sources of information.

I will not be betting on this market (I might buy and sell M$1 to bump, or buy M$ 1 to add an answer)
