Making weight...again

Hi, first off I'll explain why I want to cut some weight. I've qualified for the Cadet (1993-1994 birth years) National Championships in North Dakota for Greco Roman wrestling. I've decided that I want to go the 160 pound weight class, I currently weigh 175. This would be the biggest cut that I've ever done in my life and I'm a little hesitant on how I should go about it. (Normally I'm only 2-4lbs overweight) I'm 5 foot 10 inches, probably around 10-14% body fat and the weigh in date is July 18, that gives me about 3 or so weeks to make weight. Now my normal walking weight is around 171 or so but for the past couple days I've loaded up on water to flush out my system of most of the sodium and toxins before even cutting. I don't want to lose it all through water weight but I will resort to that if thats what it takes but I really don't want to because, lets face it theres a 99.99% chance that I'll be exhasted and I don't like the odds of that .01%. I've looked around for a little bit and found that most people like to cut out carbs for weight loss. According to some websites I've looked at you can lose up to 13 pounds in 2 weeks by just cutting out almost all your carbs! (I'm going to stay pessimistic and think that a. These numbers are inflated or b. This result came from a 350lb woman) If anyone could give me any more advice on how to make weight HEALTHFULLY I would appreciate it.

EDIT: Thoughts and ideas on any natural laxitives to clear out wastes?
