Heart rates and weight loss.

I always hear about to maximize fat loss I want to keep a heart rate that's lower than the cardio rate would be. Obviously, losing weight means a calorie deficit. In the past when losing weight I've just done cardio, never kept track of a heart rate and had great success losing. I can safely say I was in the cardio range in the past when cutting because I was pretty much doing long distance runs. 5+ miles a day on the treadmill with a few days off here and there. What's everyone's thoughts on this? Am i missing out on truly maximizing my weight loss? I can keep my heart rate within the weight loss range but I would have to run for an extra hour to make up for the calories I would have burned maintaining a faster pace. Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong. Criticism is welcomed.
