Steps:
Mix all the ingredients in a non-metal bowl. Be careful so that you don't crush the ingredients too much. Cover and refrigerate for few hours.

Coming back to the weight loss facts, if you notice the ingredients, jalapeno would help you feel full and you would cut back on other food and reduce calorie intake. Onion and garlic are the natural fat burners. Lemon is another natural immunity booster and fat burner. All in all, multiple things go into salsa making which are beneficial to health.
