Will Ramadan Fasting affect my hair transplant results? (I will fast approx 2.5 months after 3850 graft FUE hair transplant)

sh4r1f
I had an FUE HT on 4March, fasting starts on 15May (approx 2.5 months after my transplant). Will fasting during the day kill any of my new folicles? I'll wake up between 9am and 11am and fast all day (no food or drink), after 9.30pm I'll eat/drink as much as possible to ensure a sufficient calorie intake, I'll also eat again at 2am (at this time I'll eat low GI food which will release energy throughout the day), I'll sleep at 4am. I want to know if this will affect my transplant negatively?
