If you can have water as well as champagne that makes it a lot easier to regulate your salt balance. Too salty, too much protein, just drink more water and you can excrete it. Without enough water you’ll die.
Thnx. Never heard of it. " […] Caviar" has been used with any number of dishes.
Caviar and foie gras is not ‘a diet of fresh meat’ - there is a tiny amount of vitamin C in foie gras, and zero (or as good as zero) in the other items in this list.
The Eskimo diet also included fresh and preserved berries - and it happens to be the case that the available berries (bearberry, blueberry, cranberry, crowberry, and probably some species or other of Rubus) are pretty good sources of Vitamin C.
In the short arctic summer, green plants such as chickweed (another good source of Vitamin C) are available, and are documented as being eaten by Eskimos.
Besides - whenever you go to the beach, there’s always an orange on the strand line 
The Inuit actually eat a wide variety of plants including leaves (raw and fermented), leafy greens, roots, and berries as described in Anore Jones’ Plants that we Eat:
Although if most of your calories come heavily salted, you’ll need to drink a lot of champagne. So, even hydrating on net, it’s not as hydrating, so you might trend toward alcohol poisoning.
Anyway, the OP has retracted the 2a) champagne requirement.
Lack of carbs is NOT a problem. Many people have gone on a strict Atkins with no exertion issues. Maybe running a marathon, sure. I , myself have use Low Carb diets and not had a issue.
But I agree- no vitamin C, that will be your undoing.
My dad used to go fishing with Portuguese fishermen out of Long Beach. They stayed out for a day or two, drank nothing but black coffee and red wine.
I had a friend who drank nothing but coffee and beer.
I would tend to agree that you could do okay on champagne (assuming that you didn’t have crazy salt intake, like you might if all you had was caviar). Also, high protein diet adds to burden.
Common wisdom is that people in the middle ages lived on beer and wine. Cite below says that that is false, people did drink water, but it still leaves the impression that they might live on alcoholic drinks if they could afford it.
Anyway, alcohol blunts ADH (anti-diuretic hormone/vasopressin) release, which causes an indirect diuresis. But that is essentially just resetting your “thermostat” to a level of less hydration. This is NOT quite like drinking water laced with diuretic (like Lasix), meaning the more you drink, the more dehydrated you become.
So maybe you could handle a lot of caviar with champagne only.
Anyway, is all caviar salty?
I guess if your tormentors only give you salty caviar and you find that to be a problem, you could first wash it in Dom Perignon…
Since caviar is very small, slippery round things, I imagine it would be an ideal food to try and consume in deadly quantities. I think you could swallow it ***while ***choking.

High protein diet can lead to gout and so on ?
The whole point of a diet is you lose weight. That can be a good idea if you do it for a limited period of time and then switch to a less restrictive diet. People at some point switch from a zero-carb diet to a low-carb diet.
If you’re on a diet that’s causing you to lose weight and you continue on that diet, that’s starvation.
“strand line?”
A line, especially of washed-up seaweed or other debris, marking a previous high water level along a shore.
Is this known to be true?
Yes (in some areas), but according to this article only in summer (in NW Alaska). Also from that article:
Also note that truffles appear to be a decent source of Vitamin C. From this link:
Sure, but it’s not valid to compare that (eat everything you can) to foie gras - which is one organ, from one species.
Can you find an actual nutritional analysis that says so? - because:

[li]This is a pretty nearly uncited claim on a website that is just chock full of uncited claims about oils coconut, argan, etc.[/li][li]In any case, ‘low in vitamins except vitamin C’ is not the same as ‘decent source of Vitamin C’[/li][/ul]
That’s what I’m finding in a Google search. Here, for instance, is a USDA site that provides nutritional info for about 13,000 food items. I did a search for the nutritional content of sturgeon roe, and the result was 0 mg of Vitamin C.
BTW, the same site says that 100g of truffles has 0.1mg of Vitamin C. Meanwhile, 100g of raw mushrooms have 2.1mg of Vitamin C.
As with several other diets*, Atkins works fine for long term maintenance. There have been no health problems associated with it.
