I need to lose 7kg in 4 weeks to make weight for an event.
What's the best way to go about doing this without destroying myself?

What's the weigh in period? 2 or 24 hours before?

It could be 12 - 24 hours, the event is all day and weigh in is day before but I'm not sure what time I'm up.
What a fkn necklet.

Water cut, and have only liquid and very light meals the day before and leading up to the weigh in, take some laxatives two days before the weigh in and you should be fine. To water cut drink 8 literally/2gals of water per day 6 days out from.the weigh in, until 2 days out, then drink 6 liters 2 days out, 2 the day before and drink no water 12 hours before the weigh in. You should be fine.
Do a little more research than what I'm giving you though.
Well I would suggest 1000 cals per day. The night before you need to do an enema, as awful as it sounds. Morning of you need to dehydrate, sauna will help.

I am doing about 1000 cals per day once cardio is taken into consideration as I need to get my fitness up as well.

My coach is a bit hesitant toward a water cut because it'd be the first time I've done one and it's an important competition so he doesn't want to risk me being too fatigued.

I used to cut around 19lbs in 24 hours for weigh-ins. Waterweight is mostly what MMA/boxing/wrestling does. Most guys that weigh in at 160 walk around a 180+.
So that. You could probably try and do a short cut for 3 weeks then when the date approaches dehydration is what gets the weight down.
Anyone that tells you different hasn't had to actually cut weight competitively before.

On a side note the highest I've seen was someone do 26 lbs in about 40 hours. Guy placed in nationals. It's all water.
