I don't know of anyone here who's done it, but it's definitely possible. Just takes a lot of willpower, I'd imagine.

Tortuous Suicide: German Man Starved Himself to Death in Forest
He was unemployed, his marriage had collapsed and he had lost touch with his daughter. A 58-year-old German man committed suicide by cycling deep into a forest and starving himself to death in a 24-day ordeal during which he kept a diary of his suffering.

It's possible in theory, but it's not a reliable method. It also takes a really long time to do and is a pretty painful way to go when compared to quicker methods.

Death by starving would be one of the slowest and most painful ways to go, so I don't imagine many would try it. It involves spending literaly months in agonzing pain as your vital organs gradually fail while you physically waste away. Dehydration is faster, but also pretty terrible. I've heard accounts of people choking on their own tongue as it swells up due to lack of saliva.

Even if you go unconscious or barely unconscious, whoever finds you will call the hospital on you and save you, possibly leading you with a brain damage such as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome or organ damage such as liver/kidneys and heart. Recovery process of this can take anywhere from few months to years, and most likely you'll be on high supervision. Definitely one of the worst methods out there.
One of the hardest method and very painful but almost 100% guaranteed death when you are lost deep in a forest. Even if you change your mind , after a few days , you wont have enough energy to find your way back or find help.
Unless you are lucky like the tv show : i shouldn't be alive
There is videos of the show on youtube, for those interested in a going that way , you will know what it felt like.

The worst part must be animals lurking around at night and you don't know if they will try to eat you alive.I don't know of anyone here who's done it, but it's definitely possible. Just takes a lot of willpower, I'd imagine.

I've tried before, didn't eat for I think 5 days? Didn't drink for 2, I ended up getting numb to the feeling and started getting pain when I thought about it.
It was pretty horrible but it actually let me cope to know that I was dying, I guess that's one pro to that awful method.

I tried, got stuck in a bad binge/fast cycle instead. Didn't kill me, just made me really dizzy and gave me indigestion.

Tried this, managed to go almost a week without eating, it was painful and I had no energy. It was extremely difficult to ignore the intense cravings for food. Ended up failing and binging for days afterwards.
I've fasted for several days before for reasons unrelated to suicide. I haven't attempted using it, but it seems like it would be unlikely to be successful. If you collapsed in public or anyone noticed what you were doing, you'd probably be intubated/force fed. You'd almost certainly be caught doing it too because it takes such a long time, unless you're able to do what the guy mentioned in one of the above posts did and vanish off into the woods somewhere.
Of course, that's all assuming you managed to override the survival instinct and actually start to starve yourself. Unfortunately for us, the human body has a knack for keeping itself alive. I'd imagine that restricting food for suicide would have the same effect as trying to hold your breath to kill yourself: your body would force you to take in what it needs to stay alive. It's nearly impossible to override the natural instincts related to breathing, eating, drinking and sleeping long enough to kill yourself without using external devices (such as rope to stop breathing).
The only way I could see it being successful is if you went out somewhere isolated without access to food and without an easy way to return home. Maybe if you came up with a good excuse to not be disturbed for several weeks, hiked out to a spot a long way from anywhere, and made sure you didn't have a way to call for help, you could be successful. You would probably become too weak to hike back after a few days if you went out far enough. I suppose if you were worried about the chance that you'd panic and find the strength to hike back home, you could drive out somewhere too far to walk and use up all your fuel in the process.
Either way, you'd have to make sure you were trapped there undisturbed for at least a month and that you absolutely couldn't find food. It could take even longer if you're significantly overweight. It would be a hellish way to go, and there's so many areas it could go wrong. If you were found close to death, you'd be forced to endure refeeding syndrome and possibly organ damage too.
The human body can survive for a long time on surprisingly little food. There's records of people surviving months without eating. Even in cases of severe anorexia where the person winds up losing to their illness, they're often unwell for a decade or so before the multi-organ damage caused by chronic starvation gets to them.
I wouldn't risk it if I were you.
Edit: The case of the hiker known as "Mostly Harmless" comes to mind. He was found starved in a tent - exactly how he got to that point is unknown, but it may have been related to mental illness or a suicide. There's not really much to take from that story, I'm just making mental links.
