As a busy mother of four boys, Rachael wants to know, how does Patricia Heaton stay so slim? "I really only eat one meal a day," Patricia admits, "so it doesn't matter what you eat or when you eat it as long as you just do one. Plus, since I've been in New York, I've been running around a lot, to catch the train to get to work and all that stuff. So it's been easy." Patricia clarifies that there's one stipulation of her plan: "The thing is, the one meal has to end at some point!"

Patricia, who played Debra Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond for nine years, has had to adjust since the show came to an end. "The day after we finished filming, I woke up and it was just like I had been on a planet for nine years where I was the queen and everyone worshiped me and then suddenly I woke up and nobody was worshiping me and I had to get everyone's breakfast!"

While the cast still remains a tight-knit family, they no longer can laugh with Peter Boyle, who passed away the night before Patricia was scheduled to visit him. Watch the video above to hear Patty remember her late co-star.
