My workout doesn't take any longer, but boy is it more intense.

You used to run for just 10 minutes?! That will only burn glucose in your bloodstream, liver and muscle. There's absolutely no fat burning happening in this form of exercise. Fat burning exercise needs to be low in intensity and long in duration. HIIT is great for your overall fitness and cardiovascular health, but if you want to lose fat, go hiking for few hours, or watch tv on a stationary bike. You have to maximise the time you're moving around.
