There's also a sort of akrasia which is physically based-- if I eat too much refined carbs, I can get a day or two of doing very little while thinking "I don't care, I don't care". It looks like a psychological problem, but is really well corelated with the carbs.
This happens to me, too, any time I mess up my blood sugar, and often for several days at a time as you describe. But I'm also diabetic, so I would think that this response (particularly the magnitude and duration of it) would be atypical. How much carbohydrate does it take for this to happen? If you get this effect with less than 100g, you ought to perform a glucose tolerance test on yourself.
