Give it a try --- it's AWESOME. And I do ZERO cardio, and I'm 43 by the way.

I've run this route a couple of times myself and we are about the same age. I found IF to be an interesting alternative, and quite effective.
However, I just keep it clean and simple when losing fat by keeping the meals balanced properly and edging down on the calories. I tend to do these kind of things a bit slow since jumping off the edge is kinda ugly for some folks.
At any rate, why not give IF a shot for 3 weeks or so. You might find that you build an acceptance of sorts to it. Otherwise go Paleo for a few weeks instead.
But as the others said above, you will need to eat to build.
