No. Weight loss is usually a net penalty on steep descents by reducing gravity assist, and short-term weight loss efforts typically cause significant loss of strength as well.
I'd have no problem carb cutting for a week and reduce 10 pounds off my body just for this challenge.
I suspect you
would have a hard time losing 10 pounds in one week through carb cutting, actually. Even a week of total starvation would be unlikely to give that result.
