We know,

Mean = Total Sum / No. of Samples

Variance = Sum of Squares of Deviation from Mean / No. of Samples

Standard Deviation = Square Root of Variance

Hence, the table follows :

Sl. No. SB Group Keto Group
Data Deviation from Mean Square Deviation from Mean Data Deviation from Mean Square Deviation from Mean
1 2.50 -0.31 0.10 3.50 0.06 0.00
2 3.20 0.39 0.15 3.70 0.26 0.07
3 3.00 0.19 0.03 4.00 0.56 0.31
4 5.00 2.19 4.78 4.10 0.66 0.43
5 2.30 -0.51 0.26 4.00 0.56 0.31
6 2.70 -0.11 0.01 2.50 -0.94 0.89
7 1.00 -1.81 3.29 2.30 -1.14 1.31
Sum 19.70 8.63 24.10 3.32
No. of Sample 7 7 7 7
Mean 2.81 3.44
Variance 1.23 0.47
Standard Deviation 1.11 0.69

Hence,

Mean and Standard Deviation of both diets are clearly different. So, we can surely conclude that there is difference between two diets.
