Non-Scale Victory (NSV)
A win that the scale does not capture, like better sleep, more energy, or looser clothes.
A non-scale victory, or NSV, is any improvement that the scale does not show: steadier energy, better mood, clearer skin, less joint pain, deeper sleep, or clothes fitting better. On the Proper Human Diet, NSVs often arrive before the scale moves and are worth celebrating.
